Archaeological remains at Bacho Kiro Cave currently represent the oldest known remnants of Upper Palaeolithic Homo sapiens in Europe, and thus open a unique window into the time when our species started to move out of the Levant and establish itself across the mid latitudes of Eurasia as part of an archaeological phenomenon called the Initial Upper Palaeolithic.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:32:50 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3e0J7VhoISZaHn9ye8UNv30 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3fCpO-T38qYt5VjH6qdYdAk Has the scent of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies ever taken you back to afternoons at your grandmother's house?

But when NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in northern Chile gazed toward cosmic objects in this period, they found something odd: six early, massive, 'dead' galaxies that had run out of the cold hydrogen gas needed to make stars. Without more fuel for star formation, these galaxies were literally running on empty.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:19:20 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3fbWES6esgoMOzdsCmHakzH https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3fFr8jodtnqBZVjH6qdYdAk Researchers have discovered an 'ultra-potent' monoclonal antibody against multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, including the delta variant.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:19:11 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3fFr8jodtnqBZVjH6qdYdAk https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj45s0ohxaO6Yr A new systematic review and meta-analysis shows we can lose around 1.4 per cent of our entire body fat through strength training alone, which is similar to how much we might lose through cardio or aerobics.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:19:05 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj45s0ohxaO6Yr https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj4-zdsCmHakzH Studying a species of beetle mite, an international research team has demonstrated for the first time that animals can survive over very long periods of time (possibly millions of years) entirely without sex.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:18:53 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj4-zdsCmHakzH https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj48b1naedg1wr Researchers have found that learning -- a universal feature of intelligence in living beings -- can be mimicked in synthetic matter, a discovery that in turn could inspire new algorithms for artificial intelligence (AI).]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:18:28 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj48b1naedg1wr https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj43n9ye8UNv30 Researchers have designed a 4D-printed soft robot that self-assembles when heated and can take on challenging tasks like rolling uphill and navigating a bumpy and unpredictable landscape.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2021 18:18:23 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj43n9ye8UNv30 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3dshR6gUQLj46CY3L745TL_ By studying the aerodynamics of wind-dispersed seeds, researcher developed a flying microchip (or 'microflier') that catches the wind and passively flies through the air.
