Eventually, when a badly folded prion has, as Zabel puts it, "coerced" enough healthy proteins to get bent out of shape, they can gather in clumps, killing off cells and leaving the brain full of ...

The shape of the animal's pupil, it turns out, is closely related to the animal's size and whether it's a predator or prey. The pupil is the hole that lets light in, and it comes in lots of ...

Some animals undergo transformations so dramatic, they hardly resemble their younger selves. These shape-shifters don’t just ...

A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability. Squares, triangles, circles - these geometric shapes ...

Will Rethman, left to right, of Fort Loramie, shows Karter Hoying, and his brother Kooper Hoying, both of Anna, how to make ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed a 3D printing method to produce shape-shifting liquid metal robotics with musculoskeletal qualities inspired by animal physiology.

For Szczecinski's study, if an animal's movement fits with two main assumptions made, he can predict the neuronal and muscular activity involved and compare it with other animals.

We also found white animals readily celebrated. Brevard, North Carolina, hosts a yearly festival called “ White Squirrel Weekend.”People often release white doves at weddings and funerals as symbols ...

Make a variety of no-sew stuffed animals with old socks. In this hands-on activity we will practice making different 3D shapes with socks, stuffing and rubber bands.

Before I go on, allow me to point out that the following machines result from a mashup between man-made shapes and functions, while traits of some animals have been integrated into the process ...
