| Did gravitational wave detector find dark matter? Posted: 15 Jun 2016 10:49 AM PDT When an astronomical observatory detected two black holes colliding in deep space, scientists celebrated confirmation of Einstein's prediction of gravitational waves. A team of astrophysicists wondered something else: Had the experiment found the "dark matter" that makes up most of the mass of the universe? |
| How the butterfly got its spots Posted: 15 Jun 2016 07:26 AM PDT By tweaking just one or two genes, Cornell University researchers have altered the patterns on a butterfly's wings. It's not just a new art form, but a major clue to understanding how the butterflies have evolved, and perhaps to how color patterns -- and other patterns and shapes -- have evolved in other species. |
| Bee McBeeface and Beeyoncé win internet poll to name university's bees Posted: 14 Jun 2016 05:42 AM PDT A Swedish university conducted a web poll to name the queens of the campus' two new honey bee hives, and the results were perhaps not so surprising: "Bee McBeeface" and "Beeyoncé" were the winning names. |
| Discovery of a new mating position in frogs Posted: 14 Jun 2016 05:30 AM PDT Six mating positions (amplexus modes) are known among the almost 7,000 species of frogs and toads found worldwide. However, the Bombay night frog (Nyctibatrachus humayuni), which is endemic to the Western Ghats Biodiversity hotspot of India, mates differently. In a new study, scientists have described a new (seventh) mode of amplexus -- now named as dorsal straddle. |
| New singalong software brings sweet melody to any cacophonous cry Posted: 13 Jun 2016 10:11 AM PDT Whether you give it your best effort or your worst, new voice synthesis software will make you sound like the melodious singer you've always wanted to be. The software is the first to deliver high-quality singing automatically, while still preserving the original character of your natural voice. |
