| Crows caught on camera fashioning special hook tools Posted: 23 Dec 2015 11:11 AM PST Scientists have been given an extraordinary glimpse into how wild New Caledonian crows make and use 'hooked stick tools' to hunt for insect prey. Biologists have captured first recordings documenting how these tropical corvids fashion these particularly complex tools in the wild. |
| The scientific benefits of Rudolph's red nose Posted: 21 Dec 2015 04:41 PM PST We're all familiar with the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May, but scientifically speaking, what are the optical benefits of a shiny red nose on a foggy Christmas Eve? |
| Salty sea spray affects lifetimes of clouds, researchers find Posted: 21 Dec 2015 04:41 PM PST Ice particles from sea spray affect the phase structure of clouds and their radiative impacts, a new study reveals. Researchers now say that sea spray is a unique, underappreciated source of what are called ice nucleating particles -- microscopic bits that make their way into clouds and initiate the formation of ice, and in turn affect the composition and duration of clouds. |
| Surface physics: How water learns to dance Posted: 21 Dec 2015 10:37 AM PST From pole dancing to square dance: Water molecules on perovskite surfaces show interesting patterns of motion. Surface scientists have now managed to image the dance of the atoms. |
