Australian assassin bugs enhance their ability to capture flies and ants through the rare phenomenon of tool use. Check out how insects and other animals use tools to their advantage.
A study of tooth wear in wild Japanese macaques is shown significant links with the survey of human evolution. See how researchers describe cultural changes.
Crows enjoy using tools in foraging for food just like humans. Some experts have even dubbed them as the smartest animal on the planet, better than primates.
Early observations with this Webb Telescope will exhibit its capability of distinguishing the stars' individual light in the local universe making the most of the powerful capabilities of such a device.
The researchers created an AI tool for detecting discrimination concerning a protected attribute such as gender or race by human decision makers or AI systems that are based on the concept of causality in which one thing, a cause, causes another thing, an effect
The biomolecules human immune systems deploy to find, tag, and destroy invading pathogens are the antibodies. Their work includes binding to specific targets, called epitopes, on the surfaces of antigens, like locks to keys. Scientists have, for so many years, exploited this selective tagging mechanism in natural antibodies to engineer antibody-based probes that let them purify and study different types of proteins within cells.
The study includes a comprehensive review of the models used to study deadly mosquito-borne flaviviruses (MBF) such as dengue fever and the Zika virus, known to cause neurological disease in humans
Researchers said that with the use of free and open source tools, they have now developed an automated system for doing that job, and doing it more accurately
The scientists designed the proof-of-concept tool with the use of real agonal breathing instances captured from 911 calls, detected agonal breathing events 97 percent of the time from up to 20 feet (or 6 meters) away
The ancient stone tool industry of our early ancestors was just pushed deeper back in time, based on recent findings near the western shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya. Tools dating to over 3 million years ago - some 700,000 years earlier than previous finds - indicate the technology arose even before the genus Homo roamed the planet.
Anthropologists now believe that some of the earliest human ancestors who lived 3.2 million years ago had hand structures much like our own and were able to grasp and use tools, even if they had not invented them yet.
