| How spiders distinguish living from non-living using motion-based visual cues Posted: 15 Jul 2021 11:23 AM PDT Jumping spiders can distinguish living from non-living objects in their peripheral vision using the same cues used by humans and other vertebrate animals, according to a new study. |
| Scientists take snapshots of ultrafast switching in a quantum electronic device Posted: 15 Jul 2021 11:23 AM PDT Scientist demonstrated a new way of observing atoms as they move in a tiny quantum electronic switch as it operates. Along the way, they discovered a new material state that could pave the way for faster, more energy-efficient computing. |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:08 AM PDT If you didn't have a brain, could you still navigate your surroundings? Thanks to new research on slime molds, the answer may be 'yes.' Scientists discovered that the brainless Physarum polycephalum uses its body to sense mechanical cues in its environment, and decides where to grow based on that information. This finding provides a model for understanding different types of cognition, including our own. |
| Quantum movements of small glass sphere controlled Posted: 14 Jul 2021 10:19 AM PDT The quantum movements of a small glass sphere could be controlled for the first time in Vienna by combining microscopy with control engineering, setting the course for future quantum technologies. |
| Scientists find way to navigate a heavy uphill climb Posted: 14 Jul 2021 10:19 AM PDT A team of scientists has uncovered how heavy, motorized objects climb steep slopes -- a newly discovered mechanism that also mimics how rock climbers navigate inclines. |
