[ad_1] Scientists have created an evolutionary model to predict how animals should react in stressful situations. Almost all organisms have fast-acting stress responses, which help them respond to threats, but being stressed consumes energy and chronic stress can be harmful. The new study by an international team, which includes researchers …

[ad_1] The smallest primate in the world reveals the incredible preservation of our visual system through millions of years of evolution. The gray mouse lemur, the smallest species of primate, has excellent eyesight. More than a fifth of its cerebral cortex is devoted to visual processing to accommodate enough pixel …

[ad_1] University of Gothenburg Bird species that have lost the ability to fly through evolution have become extinct more often than birds that have retained their ability to fly, according to new research from the University of Gothenburg. Today we know that human influence on the environment has caused the …

[ad_1] According to new research published today, ancient deep-sea creatures called radiodont had an incredible vision that likely led an evolutionary arms race. The international study, led by Professor John Paterson of the University of New England’s Palaeoscience Research Center, in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, the South Australian …

[ad_1] On the first floor of the MIT Nuclear Science Laboratory hangs an instrument called “A Broadband / Resonant Approach to Cosmic Axis Sensing with an Amplifying B-Field Ring Apparatus”, or ABRACADABRA for short. As the name states, ABRACADABRA’s goal is to detect axions, a hypothetical particle that could be …

[ad_1] After a year of preliminary design and several revisions, NASA confirmed the Caltech-led Lunar Trailblazer mission to proceed with final design and construction. Selected in June 2019 with delivery of the flight system scheduled in October 2022, the Lunar Trailblazer mission aims at one of the most surprising discoveries …
