| Footprints discovered from the last dinosaurs to walk on UK soil Posted: 18 Jun 2021 10:40 AM PDT Footprints from at least six different species of dinosaur -- thought to be the very last dinosaurs to walk on UK soil 110 million years ago -- have been found in Kent. |
| The Earth has a pulse -- a 27.5-million-year cycle of geological activity Posted: 18 Jun 2021 10:40 AM PDT Geologic activity on Earth appears to follow a 27.5-million-year cycle, giving the planet a 'pulse,' according to a new study. |
| Researchers translate a bird's brain activity into song Posted: 18 Jun 2021 06:17 AM PDT It is possible to re-create a bird's song by reading only its brain activity, shows a first proof-of-concept study. The researchers were able to reproduce the songbird's complex vocalizations down to the pitch, volume and timbre of the original. The study is a first step towards developing vocal prostheses for humans who have lost the ability to speak. |
| Physicists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:36 AM PDT To the human eye, most stationary objects appear to be just that -- still, and completely at rest. Yet if we were handed a quantum lens, allowing us to see objects at the scale of individual atoms, what was an apple sitting idly on our desk would appear as a teeming collection of vibrating particles, very much in motion. |
