Right whale mothers whisper to their babies to protect them
As new moms, North Atlantic right whales tone down their underwater vocalizations and “whisper” to their young calves to avoid attracting predators.

A new way to ‘hear’ dark matter
Physicists at Stockholm University and the Max Planck Institute for Physics have turned to plasmas in a proposal that could revolutionise the search for the elusive dark matter.
Scientists observe a single quantum vibration under ordinary conditions
Studying a common material at room temperature, researchers bring quantum behavior “closer to our daily life.”
Fish can experience pain, study
Fish also perform competing for tasks less well when treated with a putative painful stimulus.
A new understanding of how tardigrades are protected in extreme conditions
Researchers discover that a protein in tiny tardigrades binds and forms a protective cloud against extreme survival threats such as radiation damage.
Monitoring Sun’s ultraviolet emission using deep learning
The research shows how a deep neural network can be trained to mimic an instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Molecular basis of vision revealed
The study provides insights into how the largest family of cell membrane proteins -- G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) -- work in humans.
New insights into photoelectric effect
It's very uplifting to suddenly understand how it works in a deeper way.
