| Scientists announce discovery of supermassive binary black holes Posted: 11 Mar 2022 03:25 PM PST Researchers have discovered a supermassive black hole binary system, one of only two known such systems. |
| The next generation of robots will be shape-shifters Posted: 11 Mar 2022 11:14 AM PST Physicists have discovered a new way to coat soft robots in materials that allow them to move and function in a more purposeful way. |
| Voles cut grass to watch flying predators Posted: 11 Mar 2022 08:53 AM PST A tiny rodent trims tall grasses so it can watch the skies for flying predators, new research shows. Brandt's voles live in grassland in Inner Mongolia, China, where they are hunted by birds called shrikes. |
| Newly identified softshell turtle lived alongside T. rex and Triceratops Posted: 11 Mar 2022 06:53 AM PST Scientists describe the find of a new softshell turtle from the end of the Cretaceous Period. |
| Firefly luminescence reveals pesticides Posted: 11 Mar 2022 06:53 AM PST A luminescence reaction modeled on fireflies can detect contamination with organophosphates with high sensitivity, ease, and low cost. At the center of this technology is a new enzymatic method for the synthesis of analogues of luciferin, the substance that makes fireflies glow. As reported by a team of researchers, it could also be used in the field. |
| Scientists find new colony structure of fire ants evolved in one species before spreading to others Posted: 11 Mar 2022 06:53 AM PST Scientists have discovered that a new form of ant society spread across species. They found that after the new form of society evolved in one species, a 'social supergene' carrying the instruction-set for the new social form spread into other species. This spread occurred through hybridization, i.e., breeding between ants of different species. This unlikely event provides an alternate way of life, making the ants more successful than if they only had the original social form. |
