Yersinia pestis—the bacterium that causes the bubonic plague—experienced a genetic tweak that allowed rodents to live longer after they were infected, according to a new study. This alteration may have prolonged two significant plague pandemics, including the deadliest event in human history: the Black Death. Researchers at the Institut Pasteur in France and McMaster University in Canada studied hundreds of ancient Y. pestis DNA samples to investigate a gene called “pla.” Their study, published

Robotics company Boston Dynamics has shared a new video of its latest-generation humanoid robot, Atlas, doing forward rolls, cartwheels, and army crawls. In a particularly made-to-go-viral moment, the lanky robot throws in a flashy breakdancing move known as the coffee grinder, effortlessly spinning one of its legs below its torso like a slick street performer. It's an impressive show, demonstrating Atlas' considerable agility — and how far humanoid robotics have come. But Boston Dynamics isn

In a recent video, Boston Dynamics shows off what Atlas has been up to lately, and it's probably one of the most impressive things I've seen from the company. The robot isn't just picking things up and moving them around anymore; it's showing off some eerily human moves. Impressive human moves The video starts by showing Atlas walking and then running.

In the clip above, its Atlas robot demonstrates several types of full-body movement, starting with a walk and advancing to a cartwheel and even a spot of break dancing. The different actions were developed using reinforcement learning that used motion capture and animation as source materials. At this rate, our future robot overlords will be a

Along with Northern Mockingbirds, Gray Catbirds are well-known North American mimics. Photo by Jim via Birdshare. Although some birds learn their species’ song during their first year of life, others, including mockingbirds, continue adding to their repertoire as they grow older. Northern Mockingbirds can learn as many as 200 songs, and often mimic sounds in their environment including other birds, car alarms, and creaky gates. One theory is that if a female prefers males who sing more songs, a

Abstract The cellular biology of brains is relatively well-understood, but neuroscientists have not yet generated a theory explaining how brains work. Explanations of how neurons collectively operate to produce what brains can do are tentative and incomplete. Without prior assumptions about the brain mechanisms, I attempt here to identify major obstacles to progress in neuroscientific understanding of brains and central nervous systems. Most of the obstacles to our understanding are conceptual.
