(Credit: PopTika/shutterstock) Some memories can leave us scarred for life. For example, the memory of a dog attack may leave even the most canine-loving person terrified of every pooch they come across. Fortunately, traumatic memories may not be permanent.

(Credit: AmeliAU/shutterstock) How did dinosaurs hear? Researchers now have an idea thanks to alligators. In a new study, researchers have discovered that American alligators process sounds the same way that barn owls and chickens do.

Scientific papers should have two Discussion sections – one written by the authors, and the other by an independent researcher. According to a new paper from Michael S. Avidan, John P. A. Ioannidis and George A. Mashour, this “second discussant” system could help ensure more balanced and objective inference in science. The authors begin by […]

The suit was developed by Rostec and is called the Ratnik-3. The latest upgrade to the […]
