Researchers, intrigued by mantises’ aerial mastery, filmed hundreds of leaps by these insects and discovered the secret behind their athleticism, and it’s far from sim...

  Shaking a person’s hand is so routine it seems meaningless. But as it turns out, this gesture could be more than a social courtesy: it could be humans’ way of coming into contact with another person’s smells. Just about every mammal sniffs newcomers to find out who they are and where they’ve been – but for humans, an introductory sniff is clearly taboo. And yet, as a team led by Noam Sobel, Chair of Neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel has just found, we may sn...
• Lots of Cases of Synesthesia Are Based on Alphabet Magnets4 March 2015, 6:56 pm
  They are a ubiquitous childhood toy: alphabet fridge magnets. You may remember some from your own childhood, though they probably weren't your most beloved of games. But for some people, especially those growing up in the late 70s or 80s, one particular set left a deep impression — it forever changed the colors they associate with letters. That's the conclusion of a new study on synesthesia, a condition where sensory stimuli overlap. The study finds that more than 6 percent of American...
• How does your penis size measure up?4 March 2015, 6:44 pm
  If you've ever wondered if your junk is objectively large, boy is it your lucky day! Here, London-based researchers answer the oft-asked question "Am I normal?". And the answer? Based on over 10,000 penises, the average flaccid penis is 9.16 cm (3.6 inches) long, and the average erect penis 13.12 cm (5.16 inches). Be sure to see below (ahem) for additional stats. Am I normal? A systematic review and construction of nomograms for flaccid and erect penis length and circumference in up to 15...
• Math Explains Why Hipsters All Look the Same4 March 2015, 3:53 pm
  The skinny jeans, the progressive politics, the Instagram photos: Hipsters, like goths and punk rockers before them, have become a cliché. And we've all become more like them as well. Now math has shown the reason why. A new mathematical model shows that our collective strivings for individuality end up accomplishing the opposite, even if we’re aiming toward different points of “weird.” It’s just math, says, Paul Smaldino in a paper just published in the journal Royal Society Open Sc...

  You may have inherited your mother’s eyes, but, genetically speaking, you use more DNA passed down from your father. That’s the conclusion of a new study on mice that researchers say likely applies to all mammals. We humans get one copy of each gene from mom and one from dad (ignoring those pesky sex chromosomes) – that hasn't changed. The same is true for all mammals. But that doesn't necessarily mean that mom and dad genes are equally active in creating who we are. Researchers now re...
• Scientists make "species-appropriate" music just for cats. Listen here!3 March 2015, 5:53 pm
  We know that babies like to dance to music from a very early age. But do other species appreciate our music as much as humans do? These researchers hypothesized that "in order for music to be effective with other species, it must be in the frequency range and with similar tempos to those used in natural communication by each species." In other words, for maximum effect, music should be tailored to what each species likes to listen to. Here, the scientists made (pretty trippy) music specifica...
• Six Fish That Are Smarter Than We Give Them Credit For3 March 2015, 5:34 pm
  Name a smart animal. Perhaps dogs, or dolphins, or chimpanzees came to mind. But why not goldfish, salmon, or moray eels? Most people don’t associate intelligence with fishes. Blame it on the misconception that evolution is linear, with fishes sunk at the primitive end and primates raised near the top. Increasingly, though, scientists are appreciating the full spectrum of fish behaviors in their natural environments, thanks to advances in technology such as underwater ROVs and better reco...
