Science cartoon on "Bats obey traffic rules, study says"

     A team of researchers lead by Luca Giuggioli from the University of Bristol has discovered that bats obey certain ‘traffic rules’ when hunting insects. Bats interpret sonar calls from other foraging bats, they can make split-second decisions that prevent them from colliding in mid-air. Luca Giuggioli and his team's findings were published Thursday (March 26, 2015) in PLOS Computational Biology. Further, the original research was put in the simple and interesting form by national geographic.com, sciencenews.com, sciencedaily.com and sciencetimes.com too.

Sodium Can Be Used as New Source For Making Battery of Electronic Devices.

      We are mainly aware with lithium battery in our mobile. Wang and their team got success in using Na as new source or making battery. Lithium is depleting from their sources and Na is plenty available so making battery from will help us in getting new cheaper battery in future as source of power supply for electronic gadgets.

The pen is mightier not only than sword but also than all the traditional sensor equipments.

            Joseph Wang and his team developed a new tool with help of nano engineering is opening a door to an era when anyone will be able to build sensors. They have developed high-tech bio-inks that react with several chemicals, including glucose. They filled off-the-shelf ballpoint pens with the inks and were able to draw sensors to measure glucose directly on the skin and sensors to measure pollution on leaves. Reference:  Bandodkar, A.

Dogs can recognize when you are lying

 

Researchers led by Akiko Takaoka from Kyoto University in Japan studied 34 dogs by using the old ‘point and fetch’ trick - a human points at the location of something, like a ball, a stick, or some food, and the dog runs off to find it.

They wanted to know if dogs were just blindly following these cues, or if they were adjusting their behaviour based on how reliable they perceived the person giving the cues to be. And if they didn't perceive this person as being reliable, how quickly would they learn to mistrust and disobey the humans who pointed in the wrong direction?

They found that the dogs were behaving in such a way that they are saying: “don’t fool me”
