A surprisingly large number and diversity of bee species – 74 out of 96 tested – have magnetic properties, according to ...
How do microorganisms orient themselves to find the optimal habitat? Scientists have thoroughly investigated so-called ...
Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from ...
Scientists discovered microscopic magnetic particles in most bee species examined. This finding suggests a widespread ...
Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...
Some inventions are so simple that it’s hard to improve them. The magnetic compass is a great example — a magnetized needle, a bit of cork, and a bowl of water are all you need to start navigating the ...
Pigeons and other birds can do it. So can sea turtles and spiny lobsters, moths and mole rats, gray whales and big brown bats. Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of ...
