| Birds: Competition for mates leads to a deeper voice than expected based on size Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:29 PM PST Competition for mates leads to a deeper voice than expected based on size. |
| Mouse-controlled mouse helps researchers understand intentional control Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:15 AM PST Researchers have devised a brain machine interface (BMI) that allows mice to learn to guide a cursor using only their brain activity. By monitoring this mouse-controlled mouse moving to a target location to receive a reward, the researchers were able to study how the brain represents intentional control. |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:15 AM PST It took fifteen years of imaging and nearly three years of stitching the pieces together to create the largest image ever made, the 8-trillion-pixel mosaic of Mars' surface. Now, the first study to utilize the image in its entirety provides unprecedented insight into the ancient river systems that once covered the expansive plains in the planet's southern hemisphere. |
| Scientists invent glue activated by magnetic field Posted: 22 Dec 2020 10:20 AM PST Scientists have developed a new way to cure adhesives using a magnetic field. |
| Key clues to understanding the death of stars Posted: 22 Dec 2020 07:14 AM PST New research has found that by studying all three 'flavors' involved in a supernova, they've unlocked more clues as to how and why stars die. |
| Neuroscientists isolate promising mini antibodies against COVID-19 from a llama Posted: 22 Dec 2020 05:12 AM PST Researchers have isolated a set of promising, tiny antibodies, or 'nanobodies,' against SARS-CoV-2 that were produced by a llama named Cormac. Preliminary results suggest that at least one of these nanobodies, called NIH-CoVnb-112, could prevent infections and detect virus particles by grabbing hold of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins. In addition, the nanobody appeared to work equally well in either liquid or aerosol form, suggesting it could remain effective after inhalation. |
| High-five or thumbs-up? New device detects which hand gesture you want to make Posted: 21 Dec 2020 01:04 PM PST A new device developed by engineers can recognize hand gestures based on electrical signals detected in the forearm. The system, which couples wearable biosensors with artificial intelligence (AI), could one day be used to control prosthetics or to interact with almost any type of electronic device. |
| The upside of volatile space weather Posted: 21 Dec 2020 09:18 AM PST Although stellar flares are typically viewed as a detriment to habitability, study shows 'life might still have a fighting chance.' Researchers find that flares drive a planets atmospheric composition to a new chemical equilibrium. |
