• Wild fish can recognize individual divers February 19, 2025
  For years, scientific divers at a research station in the Mediterranean Sea had a problem: at some point in every field season, local fish would follow them and steal food intended as experimental rewards. Intriguingly these wild fish appeared to recognize the specific diver who had previously carried food, choosing to follow only them while […]
• Researchers record ultrafast chorus dance of electrons on super-small particle February 19, 2025
  It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less than a nanometer in diameter. Researchers measured this dance with unprecedented precision, achieving the first measurement of its kind at the sub-nanometer scale. The synchronized […]
• Ecologist finds eastern monarch butterflies delaying fall migration February 18, 2025
  The study was one of several that assessed the effects of climate change on three species of butterflies whose populations are declining.
• Coffee grounds and Reishi mushroom spores can be 3D printed into a compostable alternative to plastics February 18, 2025
  Researchers developed a new system for turning used coffee grounds into a paste, which they use to 3D print objects, such as packing materials and a vase. They inoculate the paste with Reishi mushroom spores, which turn the coffee grounds into a resilient, fully compostable alternative to plastics.
• Biomedicine shows the way to future food crops February 18, 2025
  Researchers have introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement.
