| Against the tide: A fish adapts quickly to lethal levels of pollution Posted: 08 Dec 2016 11:33 AM PST Evolution is working hard to rescue some urban fish from a lethal, human-altered environment, according to a study. Atlantic killifish living in four polluted East Coast estuaries have adapted to levels of highly toxic industrial pollutants that would normally kill them. |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2016 11:33 AM PST Scientists have created a nanoscale optical element that regulates the flow of light particles at the intersection of two glass fibers like a roundabout. A single atom was used to control the light paths. |
| Who needs a body? Not these larvae, which are basically swimming heads Posted: 08 Dec 2016 09:59 AM PST Most animals we study have adult-like bodies early in their development. But researchers have found that certain marine worms live for months as little more than a head. |
| Rhythm of breathing affects memory, fear Posted: 07 Dec 2016 06:30 AM PST The rhythm of breathing creates electrical activity in the human brain that enhances emotional judgments and memory recall, scientists have discovered for the first time. These effects on behavior depend critically on whether you inhale or exhale and whether you breathe through the nose or mouth. |
