According to a new study, male song sparrows memorize a 30-minute long playlist of their recently belted tunes and use that information to curate both their current playlist and the next one. The findings suggest that song sparrows deliberately shuffle and repeat their songs possibly to keep a female's attention.]]> Wed, 26 Jan 2022 19:24:43 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3d9ZqFv0mKRYuT5HJgy6HUf https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3f6Ay50zUC1oylmFkX7M1Jw Researchers have taken a major step towards bringing terahertz frequencies out of their hard-to-reach region of the electromagnetic spectrum and into everyday applications. Researchers demonstrate a first-of-its-kind terahertz laser that is compact, operates at room temperature and can produce 120 individual frequencies spanning the 0.25 - 1.3 THz, far more range than previous terahertz sources.]]> Wed, 26 Jan 2022 19:24:38 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3f6Ay50zUC1oylmFkX7M1Jw https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/eePbbD1UY3f6Ay50zUC1o5VjH6qdYdAk A new article compares the inner ear structures of the two main groups of bats.
