PHYSICS & MATHIn a letter written by Nobel prize-winning physicist, Albert Einstein considered if new physics understandings could result from examining how animals are sensing the world surrounding them
This is not like your kid's favorite Kinder Joy Surprise Egg because there isn't a chocolate and a toy inside the egg. Instead, there's a bigger surprise waiting to be discovered.
One of the greatest mysteries of evolution is the extinction of Neanderthals: once among the apex predators of their time, ruling the Earth for some 300,000 years then suddenly dying out - and a new study suggests it might have something to do with creativity.
Researchers from the McGill University used genome sequencing to understand natural selection in real-time. Discovering that some fish like the threespine stickleback is resilient and rapidly adapts to environmental stressors can help scientists predict which animals will adapt to climate change.
South African shark hunters unexpectedly found coelacanths, a species of fish that predates the dinosaurs roughly 420 million years ago using gillnets off the coast of Madagascar.
Rats, mice, pigs, and other mammals can breathe using their intestines by pumping air up their butts. Can humans do this as well? Some scientists believe it could be an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients.
Neuroscientists examined neurons in a songbird's forebrain and discovered a remarkable landscape of physiology, auditory coding, and network roles that explains how birds and mammals behave.
For the first time, researchers were able to film how the rare, elusive giant squid hunts its prey 2,500 feet below the surface by using a jellyfish-like decoy emulating the glow of a jellyfish that has been proven to be irresistible to the giant cephalopods.
A study reveals that brown bears who rub up against more trees have more cubs and partners. The behavior is linked to being more attractive to the opposite sex.
Researchers attached a camera and sensors to the body of an adult female elephant seal and found that they spend approximately 80% of their day foraging for small fish in deep seas and only sleeping for one hour a day.
Scientists from the University of Arizona have developed a harmless bacteria strain that cures bad breath in dogs. It is modified to mimic the smell of pear and mint.
