The Humboldt penguin population has dramatically decreased in areas along the central coast of Chile, making them one of the most vulnerable of the world’s 18 penguin species and putting them at risk of extinction, experts warn. Last year, scientists surveyed two islands off the central Chilean coast and detected 842 breeding pairs or active…

Walking through the dappled light of a southwestern forest at dusk, scientists focus their eyes aloft. Their quarry? A Mexican spotted owl perched high in the overstory. New research from a collaborative group of scientists from the USDA Forest Service, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that frequent,…
The formation of water frost is common on Earth, especially in winter when atmospheric water vapor condenses and freezes on the surface. On Mars, the atmosphere is about 100 times less dense than on Earth, but it too contains water vapor. The atmosphere on Mars contains 10,000 times less water vapor than on our planet,…
The agility with which humans and animals move is an evolutionary marvel that no robot has yet been able to closely emulate. To help probe the mystery of how brains control movement, Harvard neuroscientists have created a virtual rat with an artificial brain that can move around just like a real rodent. The agility with which…
