| Astronomers probe layer-cake structure of brown dwarf’s atmosphere Posted: 30 Jul 2021 01:54 PM PDT Astronomers have developed a new way to capture all the exquisite 'layer-cake' details of a brown dwarf's cloud structure. Because brown dwarfs are similar to super-Jupiters, this innovative technique can help deepen scientists' understanding of the atmospheres of giant alien worlds that are more massive than Jupiter. |
| Bird brains left other dinosaurs behind Posted: 30 Jul 2021 01:54 PM PDT Research on a newly discovered bird fossil found that a unique brain shape may be why the ancestors of living birds survived the mass extinction that claimed all other known dinosaurs. |
| Some birds steal hair from living mammals, study finds Posted: 30 Jul 2021 07:43 AM PDT A new paper documents an unusual behavior among tufted titmice and their closest bird kin. A bird will land on an unsuspecting mammal and, cautiously and stealthily, pluck out some of its hair. |
| Artificial light disrupts dung beetles’ sense of direction Posted: 29 Jul 2021 03:36 PM PDT New research shows that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. |
| Artificial Intelligence learns better when distracted Posted: 29 Jul 2021 03:36 PM PDT Computer scientists from the Netherlands and Spain have determined how a deep learning system well suited for image recognition learns to recognize its surroundings. They were able to simplify the learning process by forcing the system's focus toward secondary characteristics. |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2021 03:35 PM PDT Astronomers have captured the first-ever spin measurements of HR 8799, the famed system that made history as the very first exoplanetary system to have its image taken. |
| Mapping the cellular circuits behind spitting in C. elegans Posted: 29 Jul 2021 11:35 AM PDT Researchers have discovered the mechanism that underlies spitting in the roundworm C. elegans -- expanding our understanding of how neurons control muscle cells to shape behavior. |
| Mice treated with this cytokine lose weight by ‘sweating’ fat Posted: 29 Jul 2021 11:34 AM PDT Treating obese mice with the cytokine known as TSLP led to significant abdominal fat and weight loss compared to controls. The animal model findings support the possibility that increasing sebum production via the immune system could be a strategy for treating obesity in people. |
