How does a skeleton move?

A new tracking method to quantify skeletal kinematics in freely moving rodents. How can we measure a skeleton’s motion in a furry animal as it moves through its environment? Researchers…

Novel insecticides are bad news for bee health and their guts

Insecticides containing flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor can have devastating effects on honey bee health. The substances damage the insects’ intestinal flora, especially when used in conjunction with a common fungicide, making…

How flying insects and drones can discern up from down

Scientists have developed a theory that can explain how flying insects determine the gravity direction without using accelerometers. It also forms a substantial step in the creation of tiny, autonomous…

1 million-year-old marine DNA found in Antarctic sediment

A new study led by the University of Tasmania – with the participation of the University of Bonn – discovered the oldest marine DNA in deep-sea sediments of the Scotia…

Researchers map rotating spiral waves in live human hearts

The findings could help treat deadly arrhythmias. Electrical signals tell the heart to contract, but when the signals form spiral waves, they can lead to dangerous cardiac events like tachycardia…

The physics of walking is simpler than we thought

Walking for multi-legged creatures is a lot like slithering, researchers find by comparing ants to robots. The physics of walking for multi-legged animals and robots is simpler than previously thought….
