| Meteorites remember conditions of stellar explosions Posted: 27 Feb 2021 05:33 AM PST A team of international researchers went back to the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago to gain new insights into the cosmic origin of the heaviest elements on the periodic table. |
| Sensing robot healthcare helpers Posted: 27 Feb 2021 05:32 AM PST Robots that could take on basic healthcare tasks to support the work of doctors and nurses may be the way of the future. Who knows, maybe a medical robot can prescribe your medicine someday? That's the idea behind 3D structural-sensing robots being developed and tested right now. |
| Nuclear physicists on hunt for squeezed protons Posted: 25 Feb 2021 01:32 PM PST While protons populate the nucleus of every atom in the universe, sometimes they can be squeezed into a smaller size and slip out of the nucleus for a romp on their own. Observing these squeezed protons may offer unique insights into the particles that build our universe. Now, researchers hunting for these squeezed protons have come up empty-handed, suggesting there's more to the phenomenon than first thought. |
| Rare bee found after 100 years Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST A widespread field search for a rare Australian native bee not recorded for almost a century has found it's been there all along - but is probably under increasing pressure to survive. |
| Artificial 'brain' reveals why we can't always believe our eyes Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:37 AM PST A computer network closely modelled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images - and explains some perplexing optical illusions. |
| Among Ecuador's Shuar, researchers find how disgust evolved as a human emotion Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:37 AM PST When the pungent smell of rotting food sends a person running, that disgusted feeling is an evolved response that helps avoid exposure to pathogens, say anthropologists. In a project that blended anthropology, biology and psychology, researchers explored disgust behaviors among Ecuador's indigenous Shuar people. |
| Male superb lyrebirds imitate alarm calls of a 'mobbing flock' while mating Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:36 AM PST When birds see a predator in their midst, one strategy is to call out loudly, attracting other birds to do the same. Sometimes individuals within this 'mobbing flock' will fly over the predator or attack it directly. Now, researchers have found that male superb lyrebirds do something rather unexpected: they imitate a mobbing flock in courtship and even in the act of mating with a female. |
