Scientists have discovered that starving and then refeeding worms can reveal surprising secrets about aging. When a specific ...

Data-driven saliency has recently gained a lot of attention thanks to the use of convolutional neural networks for predicting gaze fixations. In this paper, we go beyond standard approaches to ...

If you swim in freshwater lakes, here’s what to know about Naegleria fowleri amoeba. For example, the majority of infections ...

Eating raw fish can come with the risk of ingesting sushi worms. Here's what those scary critters actually are, and how to ...

A comparative study shows that marine worms shattered their genome and rebuilt it in a radically different form when they first emerged from the sea 200 million years ago. The identified “genomic ...

The profound connection between humans and dogs transcends words, often communicated through a simple gaze. When your dog looks deeply into your eyes, something remarkable happens—a chemical bond ...

It can be paired with bio-inspired cameras that capture the world more like the human eye does. These are called dynamic vision sensors, and they work like motion detectors for each pixel. They only ...

Major changes in their DNA could have helped the worms adapt quickly to life on land, reorganising their genes to respond better to new challenges such as breathing air or being exposed to sunlight.

A radical genetic mechanism which could provide evolutionary responses The team has discovered that marine worms broke their genome into a thousand pieces only to reconstruct it and continue their ...

Hordes of writhing flesh-eating worms have erupted from the ground in Texas , terrifying local residents. The worms can irritate the skin of humans and also tend to prey on earthworms.
