Pterosaurs, which were some of the first vertebrates to evolve the ability to fly more than 200 million years ago, likely walked and took off this way too, according to a 2010 paper co-authored by Habib and pub
This is similar to the process that our Stone Age ancestors used to make tools and other implements from the sticks and stones that we found in the world around us. But humans did not learn to fly by modifying birds. 02:42 (Laughter) 02:44 Instead, scientists, inspired by birds...

This snow is not just a winter inconvenience—it’s a cornerstone of Canada’s water cycle, feeding spring melt and supporting agricultural growing seasons. However, as climate change alters snowfall patterns, these challenges may evolve. The hidden danger...
Eventually, a self-learning clinical LLM might deliver a broad range of psychotherapeutic interventions while measuring patient outcomes and adapting its approach on the fly in response to changes in the patient (or lack thereof). Toward a precision medicine approach to psychotherapy Current approaches...
Titan boasts a hydration cycle both similar to and different from Earth's. The moon is covered with organic materials that make it apotential homefor a different sort of life to evolve. That's just one reason many scientists are eager to visit the Saturn satellite. [Life on Titan? Saturn...
It is endemic to New Zealand. Because the nation was void of mammals for an extended period, the wētā could evolve to a rodentlike size, though the introduction of actual rodents to the island has decimated much of its population. Dynastes hercules: Hercules beetle Tanawat Palee // ...
If visual cues are pivotal, repellant stimuli could be used to reduce host finding by the spittlebug and integrated with attractive stimuli to develop push-and-pull strategies. Some plant species evolve resistant traits that help reduce detec- tion by pests, even when this implies a lower ...
Each climate model solves a set of equations on a spherical grid representing Earth’s atmosphere. A supercomputer is used to evolve the grid of solutions forward in time, indicating how air and heat flow through each of the grid cells and circulate around the planet. By adding carbon dioxide...
Clearly we’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the rollout of army drone technology. One of the best use cases for robots is carrying out tasks in situations where it would be too dangerous for humans to set foot. With that in mind, there has been a big uptick in...
