“#Much maligned elsewhere, bats get star treatment in central France” Scientists believe the novel coronavirus may have emerged in bats and was likely transmitted to humans via an intermediate animal At a museum in central France, researchers tenderly feed insects and kitten milk formula to tiny orphaned bats—creatures widely reviled for their role in human…
“#Pigs turn to humans as dogs do, unless they have a problem to solve” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers of the MTA-ELTE ‘Lendület’ Neuroethology of Communication Research Group at the Department of Ethology at the Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest (ELTE) compared human-oriented communicative behaviors of young miniature pigs and dogs kept as…
“#How flies flip around on take-off from an upside- down position” Credit: Anna Verbe Flies are able to right themselves very quickly when taking off from an upside-down position. Scientists from the CNRS and from The Institute of Movement Science (ISM) at Aix-Marseille Université studying this phenomenon discovered the surprising way these insects begin by…
“#How Venus flytraps snap” The force sensor of the microrobotic system deflects a sensory hair of a fllytrap that is kept open by the sensors of the load cell.
