Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences—from walks on the beach to presentations at work—and transforms them into long-term memories. How exactly this works remains a mystery, but ...

The dream of flying has always fascinated humanity. In evolutionary history, the ability to fly has emerged independently ...

Next, using a combination of ground-based RADAR, laser-based LIDAR tracking devices, and acoustic receivers, they tracked the bats' flight patterns. The drone was successful in rerouting about 40 ...

Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, a feat enabled by their highly specialized limb morphology. However, the evolutionary pathway that led to this capability has remained elusive ...

Bats are flying mammals. Think about that. Many millions of years after birds hollowed out their very bones in pursuit of flight, some gliding, insectivorous squirrel-thing was born with a slight ...
