| Mysterious family life of notorious saber-toothed tiger Posted: 07 Jan 2021 01:47 PM PST New research indicates adolescent offspring of the menacing saber-toothed predator, Smilodon fatalis, were more momma's cubs than independent warriors. |
| Striped or spotted? Winds and jet streams found on the closest brown dwarf Posted: 07 Jan 2021 10:56 AM PST Using high-precision brightness measurements from NASA's TESS space telescope, astronomers found that the nearby brown dwarf Luhman 16B's atmosphere is dominated by high-speed, global winds akin to Earth's jet stream system. This global circulation determines how clouds are distributed in the brown dwarf's atmosphere, giving it a striped appearance. |
| World's fastest optical neuromorphic processor Posted: 07 Jan 2021 08:24 AM PST A Swinburne-led team has demonstrated the world's fastest and most powerful optical neuromorphic processor for artificial intelligence. The neuromorphic processor operates faster than 10 trillion operations per second and is capable of processing ultra-large scale data. |
| Unusual sex chromosomes of platypus, emu and pekin duck Posted: 07 Jan 2021 08:21 AM PST Three studies uncovered the unusual sex chromosomes of platypus, emu and Pekin duck. Platypus have five pairs of sex chromosomes forming an unusual chain shape, while the sex chromosomes of emu and duck are not as different between sexes as those of human. |
| Remarkable new species of snake found hidden in a biodiversity collection Posted: 23 Dec 2020 09:57 AM PST The newly described Waray Dwarf Burrowing Snake is pretty great at hiding. In its native habitat, Samar and Leyte islands in the Philippines, the snake spends most of its time burrowing underground, usually surfacing only after heavy rains in much the same way earthworms tend to wash up on suburban sidewalks after a downpour. |
