Beatboxing orangutans and the evolution of speech
Orangutans can make two separate sounds simultaneously, much like songbirds or human beatboxers, according to a study. Adriano Lameira and Madeleine Hardus observed vocalizing orangutans...
Gravity and dark matter, a bond beyond distances
Isaac Newton formulated his theory of gravity as an action at a distance: a planet instantly feels the influence of another celestial body, no matter...
A symbiosis in the open ocean
A study explores the genetic expression of a photosynthetic symbiont that lives inside an abundant marine organism. Marine diatoms are responsible for one-fifth of global...
U-shaped association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and risk of all-cause mortality mediated by post-stroke infection in acute ischemic stroke
The general perception supports the mantra of “lower is better” for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in cardiovascular disease. However, during the acute stage of...
Air pollution speeds snowmelt
Diminished anthropogenic pollutant emissions during 2020 Covid-19 lockdowns reduced snowmelt in the Himalayas, according to a study. Liqiang Zhang and colleagues used multiple satellite data...
Benzimidazole-based covalent organic framework embedding single-atom Pt sites for visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
Hydrogen (H2) is a clean carbon-free fuel with high gravimetric energy density and emerges as an attractive alternative to the unrenewable fossil resource. Photocatalytic water...
Like human, like dog
A study by researchers at the University of Vienna and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna shows that information from body postures plays a similarly...
Unveiling the secrets of liquid iron under extreme conditions
Iron is the most abundant element by mass on Earth. Despite being so common and well-studied, iron still manages to puzzle scientists by exhibiting electric...
First observation of rubber-like elasticity in liquid glycerol
It is the first time an elasticity dominating the flow behavior in a Newtonian liquid like glycerol has been observed. Its existence is difficult to...
