Elephants may hear messages traveling through the ground from more than 10 kilometers away, thanks to massive ear bones and a muscle that can shut their ear canals.

A research team led by the University of Osaka, working with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), RIKEN and the Institute of Science Tokyo, has uncovered a ...

Elephants are able to communicate using their trunks, but they have a second way of sending signals. The post How elephants ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Some breakthrough technologies still feel like they were brought to life from fiction, even when they've been around for a while. That's ...

Bone conduction headphones: explained like you're 5 Bone conduction headphones, but if I had to explain it to a 5 year old. Here's the basic explainer on how bone conduction works, but if you want a ...

An experiment on board a parabolic flight showed promising results suggesting that graphene, a thin sheet of carbon atoms, could be used to steer solar sails and adjust the position of satellites in ...

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise. Researchers have developed a cleaner, more controlled way to build these ...

Researchers have identified a key flaw in safer battery materials that limits how efficiently they move ions, and developed a way to fix it. The work focuses on polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) which ...

Water treatment and boilers go hand in hand—and conductivity control is one of the most important measurements for safe and efficient boiler operation. In this Weekly Boiler Tip from WARE, we explain ...

If you’re looking for headphones for outdoor running and cycling, you’ll likely come across bone conduction models and open-ear models. Most shoppers, however, aren’t fully aware of how these newer ...
