Bumblebees socially learn behaviour too complex to innovate alone
Posted by Logan Thrasher Collins in category: futurism
Bumblebees can learn how to open a two-step puzzle box by observing another trained bee, indicating that these insects can use social learning to acquire a behaviour too complex to otherwise be learnt through individual trial and error.

Not Science Fiction — This Bizarre Worm-Lizard Is Like the Dune Sandworm but Weirder
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: futurism, habitats
With skull parts that click together like puzzle pieces and a large central tooth, the real-life sandworm is stranger than fiction.
Amphisbaenians are strange creatures. Like worms with vertebrae, scales, a large central tooth, and sometimes small forearms, these reptiles live underground, burrowing tunnels and preying on just about anything they encounter, not unlike a miniature version of the monstrous sandworms from “Dune.”
Even though they’re found around much of the world, little is known about how amphisbaenians behave in the wild because they cannot be observed while in their natural habitat under sand and soil. But thanks to two papers published in the March issue of The Anatomical Record, new light is being shed on these animals and their specialized anatomy.

Breaking Barriers: New Data Speed Record Set on Optical Fiber
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: futurism
As data traffic grows, there is an urgent demand for smaller optical transmitters and receivers capable of handling complex multi-level modulation formats and achieving higher data transmission speeds.
In an important step toward fulfilling this requirement, researchers developed a new compact indium phosphide (InP)-based coherent driver modulator (CDM) and showed that it can achieve a record high baud rate and transmission capacity per wavelength compared to other CDMs.
CDMs are optical transmitters used in optical communication systems that can put information on light by modulating the amplitude and phase before it is transmitted through an optical fiber.
