Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...

To test whether enhancer activity — and therefore gene regulation — is similar in fish gills and human outer ears, Crump and his colleagues inserted human outer ear enhancers into zebrafish ...

A 2018 study has revealed that orcas, one of the ocean's most intelligent creatures, can mimic human speech with remarkable accuracy. The eerie recordings of a 14-year-old female orca named Wikie have ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

On January 14, hippies and other counterculture participants swarmed to the polo grounds in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park in a gathering called the Human Be-In. Timothy Leary advised ...
