| Scientists discover a mechanism for memory transfer between individuals in C. elegans Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:47 PM PDT Researchers demonstrated that the microscopic worm C. elegans uses a retrotransposon called Cer1 to transfer a learned behavior (avoidance of a pathogenic bacterium) between worms. |
| Stellar collision triggers supernova explosion Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:46 PM PDT The Very Large Array Sky Survey gave astronomers the first clue that ultimately revealed a dramatic story -- the remnant of a star that exploded long ago had plunged into the core of its companion star causing it, too, to explode as a supernova. |
| Putting a new theory of many-particle quantum systems to the test Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:46 PM PDT New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases -- atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line -- fit with the predictions of the recently developed theory of 'generalized hydrodynamics.' |
| Doubling the number of species of hand-standing spotted skunks Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:00 AM PDT Spotted skunks aren't as well-known as their striped cousins, and scientists still have a lot to learn about them, starting with how many kinds of them even exist -- over the years, the number of recognized species has ranged from two to fourteen, and lately, scientists have agreed there are four. But in a new paper, researchers analyzed skunk DNA and found that there aren't four species of spotted skunk after all: there are seven. |
