A new model for the evolution of honey bee brains
Researchers have proposed a new model for the evolution of higher brain functions and behaviors in the Hymenoptera order of insects. The team compared the Kenyon cells, a type of neuronal cell, in the mushroom bodies (a part of the insect brain invol.....»»

Magnetic energy strings flex, wiggle and reconnect in a nanomagnetic array
A multi-institutional team exploring the physics of collective behavior has developed and measured a model nanomagnetic array in which the behavior can be best understood as that of a set of wiggling strings. The strings, which are composed of connec.....»»
Giraffes, despite a relatively small brain, can handle statistics
This sort of behavior has previously only been seen in primates and parrots. Enlarge (credit: Arthur Morris) Reasoning about probabilities is something humans can't always manage especially well, but it's clearly a skill.....»»
Kangaroo Island ants "play dead" to avoid predators
They're well known for their industrious work, but now a species of ant on Kangaroo Island is also showing that it is skilled at "playing dead," a behavior that University of South Australia researchers believe is a recorded world first......»»
Scientists recover an ancient woman"s DNA from a 20,000-year-old pendant
Artifacts made of stone, bones or teeth provide important insights into the subsistence strategies of early humans, their behavior and culture. However, until now it has been difficult to attribute these artifacts to specific individuals, since buria.....»»
Opinion: When employers reward "ideal" workers, gender equality suffers
UK deputy prime minister Dominic Raab recently resigned following the publication of a report into workplace complaints about his conduct, including bullying allegations. But this element of his behavior wasn't the only concerning workplace problem h.....»»
Uniform bottom-up Li deposition behavior in nanoneedle arrays on modified three–dimensional carbon film
Human lives have been revolutionized since lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) were successfully commercialized. However, modern portable electronics have increased energy demands and thus require batteries with high energy density. Directly using Li metal.....»»

How to repair a damaged reputation
A reputation can be damaged by a single mistake, or after months or even years of bad behavior. Organizations may turn a blind eye to such behavior by employees or business leaders, and sometimes it is tacitly enabled by a toxic culture that prioriti.....»»
Abnormal Security expands its platform and launches new products
At RSA Conference 2023, Abnormal Security launched three new products focused on expanding security detection for Slack, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. The company is also extending the platform to better model identity behavior through the ingestion of s.....»»
Condensed matter physics inspires a new model of cellular behavior
Cells are expert cooperators and collaborators. To maintain tissue health, cells talk to each other, exert pressure on each other, and kick out cells that are not contributing to the overall well-being of the collective. When it's time to get rid of.....»»
If it pays to be a jerk, why isn"t everyone that way? A chimpanzee study offers insight
Throw a tantrum. Threaten, shove aside or steal from your colleagues. Science confirms, yet again, that brutish behavior can be an effective path to power. And not just in humans, but in chimpanzees, too......»»
