Norwegian researcher Gro Amdam has managed to reverse the aging process in the bee brain. Your work could help people with dementia. "We accept that as we age our mental alertness and health decline. But recent findings indicate that aging does not have to be synonymous with going downhill," Amdam says.
In the busy life of a honey bee swarm, workers periodically need a good night's sleep. If they do not rest, they fail to adequately communicate the food situation to their hive mates, a study by the University of Texas has just shown.
Scientists at the University of Bielefeld (Germany) have answered the question by creating an "artificial eye" that mimics the field of vision of a bee, allowing us to observe the world from the point of view of insects. The invention could change the way in the one that builds mobile robots and small flying vehicles, say their creators.
Bees see the world five times faster than humans, and can also choose between doing it in full color or in black and white depending on the circumstances, according to a new study from the University of London (UK).
An international team of 62 astronomers led by Hans Deeg, from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has discovered outside the Solar System the first planet similar in size to Jupiter and with relatively moderate temperatures that orbits a star similar to the Sun. Corot-9b, after being discovered by the CoRoT space satellite, the exoplanet is 1,500 light years from Earth, in the constellation of the Serpent. The discovery is published in the journal Nature.
If you can choose, bees prefer to take a "sip" of nectar with small amounts of nicotine and caffeine than nectar "dry", as has just confirmed a study by the University of Haifa (Israel). Nicotine is found naturally in the nectar of tobacco tree flowers, while caffeine is common in citrus and grapevine flowers.
