Rats May Use Ultrasound to Enhance their Sense of Smell, a Study Suggests

Biology, Science /

Rodents communicate in sounds too high-pitched for human hearing, but scientists have discovered these vocalizations may serve another function—enhancing their sense of smell. The high-pitched squeaks of cartoon mice aren’t too far from reality. For decades, scientists have documented rodents using ultrasonic frequencies to communicate, possibly to attract mates. Some researchers even suggest these sounds […]

Innovative Nanopillars Pierce The Nuclei Of Human Cells

Biology, Cell Biology /

Researchers have discovered a way to pierce the nucleus of a cell without damaging the rest of its structure, similar to puncturing the yolk of an egg without breaking the white or the shell. This breakthrough could have significant implications for medical treatments. To accomplish this, scientists at the University of San Diego designed an
