| Robotic swarm swims like a school of fish Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST Researchers have developed fish-inspired robots that can synchronize their movements like a real school of fish, without any external control. It is the first time researchers have demonstrated complex 3D collective behaviors with implicit coordination in underwater robots. |
| Studying chaos with one of the world's fastest cameras Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST Ultrafast camera technology might aid in the study of unpredictable systems. |
| Scientists discover new 'spectacular' bat from West Africa Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST Scientists have discovered a new species of a striking orange and black bat in a mountain range in West Africa. The species, which the researchers expect is likely critically endangered, underscores the importance of sub-Saharan 'sky islands' to bat diversity. |
| Rare quadruple-helix DNA found in living human cells with glowing probes Posted: 13 Jan 2021 10:24 AM PST New probes allow scientists to see four-stranded DNA interacting with molecules inside living human cells, unravelling its role in cellular processes. |
| Burst of light April 15, 2020 likely magnetar eruption in nearby galaxy Posted: 13 Jan 2021 10:24 AM PST On April 15, 2020, a brief burst of high-energy light swept through the solar system, triggering instruments on many NASA spacecraft. Scientists think the blast came from a supermagnetized stellar remnant located in a neighboring galaxy. |
| Superheroes, foods and apps bring a modern twist to the periodic table Posted: 13 Jan 2021 09:07 AM PST Many students, especially non-science majors, dread chemistry. The first lesson in an introductory chemistry course typically deals with how to interpret the periodic table of elements, but its complexity can be overwhelming to students with little or no previous exposure. Now, researchers introduce an innovative way to make learning about the elements much more approachable -- by using 'pseudo' periodic tables filled with superheroes, foods and apps. |
| Could we harness energy from black holes? Posted: 13 Jan 2021 07:08 AM PST Physicists have found a new way to extract energy from black holes by breaking and rejoining magnetic field lines near the event horizon. |
| How teeth functioned and evolved in giant mega-sharks Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:09 AM PST Researchers find that the evolution of teeth in the giant prehistoric shark Megalodon and its relatives was a by-product of becoming huge, rather than an adaptation to new feeding habits. |
| Do as the Romans: Power plant concrete strengthens with time Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:09 AM PST Scientists find a rare mineral in nuclear power plant walls, significantly improving their strength following years of full operation. |
