In July 2023, researchers on a whale watching expedition in the Caribbean Sea encountered an unusual scene: 11 sperm whales clustered tightly at the water’s surface.The animals began to inch closer and closer together in the waters off the island of Dominica, with their attention turned to one individual, until a burst of blood tinted the water.At first, the scientists—part of @ProjectCETI, a nonprofit that studies how sperm whales interact—thought the animal had been attacked.

For #DNADay: Welcome to the nanosize railway. Much as a train switchyard can steer rail cars to different locations, researchers have engineered protein motors to carry tiny bits of cargo to different locations. In the body, protein motors ferry nutrients and other materials along tiny tube-shaped rails that crisscross cells. Nanotechnologists have made their own versions for years using tube-shaped rails made from DNA. Last year, researchers took that approach one step further, creating DNA nan

The insect flaps its wings and spins, believing it’s actually buzzing through this virtual reality environment—one that can even distort what the fly sees. Though unusual, this tiny virtual reality flight simulator has a deeper purpose. Here, researchers are probing the inner workings of the insect brain.

Elephants love showering to cool off, and most do so by sucking water into their trunks and spitting it over their bodies. But an elderly pachyderm named Mary has perfected the technique by using a hose as a showerhead, much in the way humans do. The behavior is a remarkable example of sophisticated tool use in the animal kingdom. But the story doesn’t end there. Mary’s long, luxurious baths have drawn so much attention that an envious elephant at the Berlin Zoo has figured out how to shut the w

To shield themselves from predators, snails carry hard shells of calcium carbonate on their backs. But one wily hunter has found a way to worm around the snail’s famous defenses. On the Ryukyu Islands of southwestern Japan, the larva of a click beetle that nests underground waits until a snail passes overhead. Then it snags the snail’s soft gelatinous body from below, dragging the gastropod to its death and leaving its shell to sit ghostly and vacant on the surface above. It’s the first time an

Science Magazine on Instagram: "“Iron chef” just got a whole new meaning. Researchers have designed a robot that can create and cook a cake with up to seven ingredients, more than any other printed food to date. Initial trials resulted in triangular gobs of sweet goo, so the researchers came up with a winning recipe that could hold its own. They nested softer ingredients, such as jelly and banana puree, inside of stiffer ingredients, such as peanut butter and Nutella, then reinforced those with

Some of today’s most advanced robots can leap over obstacles, crawl through tight spaces and swim gracefully—as long as they’re traveling in straight lines. Making turns, however, often poses a challenge to so-called biohybrid machines, which combine living tissue with robotic materials. Now, scientists from Japan report in Matter that they have created a bipedal biohybrid bot that can turn on a dime, albeit slowly. If the technique can be made to work in other biohybrids, it could help these ma

With their spearlike noses, high-speeds, and group attacks, striped marlin (Kajikia audax) are fearsome predators of sardines and other small fish. But how do they avoid impaling one another during these mêlées? New drone footage may provide the answer. As seen in this video, right before a marlin attacks a school of sardines, it changes color, dialing up the contrast of the stripes along its body.

When key “housekeeper” brain cells grow in lab dishes, they spawn unusual microscopic vesicles that can move on their own and carry energy-generating organelles, a research team has revealed. The biologists have dubbed their discovery zombosomes because the blobs can move like cells for a period despite lacking a nucleus, which acts as a cell's control center. The group also showed the membrane-bound messengers ferry proteins related to Parkinson’s disease, suggesting they may contribute to it a

Despite their reputation as nature’s buzziest pollinators, the vast majority of bee species spend most of their lives underground. Now, thanks to a hospital CT scanner, researchers have revealed new insights into how these insects build their subterranean lairs. The study investigates nests of two common species of ground-nesting bees. One, the spring mining bee (Colletes cunicularius), is solitary; each female builds a nest over a few days, collecting pollen by herself and laying eggs before ab

The purpose of the behavior? The quick dip cools the insect down, and the loop-the-loops help it dry off by flicking away the water. To learn more, click the link in our bio.
