| Paper wasps form abstract concept of 'same' and 'different' Posted: 20 Jul 2022 12:05 PM PDT In a series of studies over more than 20 years, evolutionary biologists have demonstrated that paper wasps, despite their tiny brains, have an impressive capacity to learn, remember and make social distinctions about others. |
| Physicists use quantum simulation tools to study, understand exotic state of matter Posted: 20 Jul 2022 12:05 PM PDT Physicists have demonstrated how simulations using quantum computing can enable observation of a distinctive state of matter taken out of its normal equilibrium. Such novel states of matter could one day lead to developments in fast, powerful quantum information storage and precision measurement science. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2022 09:10 AM PDT New research could form the basis of aviation innovation. Artificial whiskers, built as models of whiskers from sea lions, can work as an array of antennae to locate the source of hydrodynamic wakes, similar to the way sea lions use their whiskers. |
| New fossil shows four-legged fishapod that returned to the water while Tiktaalik ventured onto land Posted: 20 Jul 2022 09:10 AM PDT A new study describes a fossil species that closely resembles the four-legged fishapod Tiktaalik but has features that made it more suited to life in the water than its adventurous cousin. |
| A new method to detect exoplanets Posted: 20 Jul 2022 07:25 AM PDT In recent years, a large number of exoplanets have been found around single 'normal' stars. New research shows that there may be exceptions to this trend. Researchers suggest a new way of detecting dim bodies, including planets, orbiting exotic binary stars known as Cataclysmic Variables (CVs). |
| Why corals glow even in the depths of the sea Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:45 AM PDT A new study reveals that the phenomenon in deep reefs in which corals display glowing colors (fluorescence) is intended to serve as a mechanism for attracting prey. The study shows that the marine animals on which corals prey recognize the fluorescent colors and are attracted to them. |
