Bees solve complex colour puzzles

...f our research is to exploit this understanding to build seeing robots that, like the bee with its mere one million neurons, can learn to find a simple flower in a meadow, which no machine can do at present. Our lab has reconstructed our specially designed bee flight arena - known as the Bee Matrix - in th...

Getting old? Slowing down? Blame inefficient mitochondria

...t of power stations. A power station burns fuel to build up steam pressure and uses that pressure to drive a turbine linked to a dynamo. This in turn generates electricity. In mitochondria, the fuel is oxidised and builds up a pressure of hydrogen ions (protons). These force through molecular turbines and ...

Web model of influenza-host lifecycles will aid scientists in creating anti-viral drugs

...becomes available. "In the future, the goal is to build out all of the host-pathogen reactions," Dr. Scheuermann said. UT Southwestern's participation was part of the BioHealthBase Bioinformatics Resource Center project, a collaboration between Dr. Scheuermann's lab and a bioinformatics software enginee...

3D ultrasound device poised to advance minimally invasive surgery

The closest look ever at the cell's machines
