Study Reveals that Bumblebees Are Not Creatures of Habit; They Change Flowers as It Suits Them.

Beyond memory, they choose flowers based on travel costs and color similarity, revealing a more efficient foraging strategy than previously thought. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have revealed that bumblebees aren't simple foragers, but rather experts in efficiency. For years, we thought bees were creatures of habit. That, to keep things simple, they preferred to visit the same type of flower over and over again. Different flowers? No…Read Article

Create a biological speaker: electrically controlled cycads to produce music

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have developed an innovative method to manipulate the musical scales of cicadas songs through electrical stimulation of the muscles. This advance, which has resulted in a biological-electronic hybrid speaker, uses live cycadas precisely controlled through specific voltages to produce variable sound frequencies. Insect-computer hybrid systems have attracted the attention of the scientific communit…Read Article

Scientists Direct Cyborg Cicadas to Play a Horrendous Droning Rendition of "Pachelbel's Canon"

100% Left coverage: 1 sources

Pachelbel's "Canon in D" is like the Doom of the music world. It's been performed on everything from train horns to rubber chickens to strange juggling bells — it would truly be easier to find an instrument the Canon hasn't been played on. Recently, a new "instrument" entered the pantheon, only it's not an instrument at all, but rather an insect stuck with probes and zapped with electricity. If you're imagining the typical wedding arrangement of…Tsukuba · Tsukuba Read Article

New Database of Materials Accelerates Electronics Innovation – DIR HONGKONG

TSUKUBA, Japan, May 2, 2025 – (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In a collaboration between Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), researchers have built a comprehensive new database of dielectric material properties curated from thousands of scientific papers. The study, published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, also offers insights that could accelerate the development…Tsukuba · Tsukuba See the Story

Bees actively adjust flower choice based on color and distance: Updating 'flower constancy' beyond Darwin's theory

100% Center coverage: 2 sources

Pollinating insects such as bumblebees often repeatedly visit the same type of flower, even when a variety of flowers bloom nearby. This behavior is known as "flower constancy." Darwin speculated that flower constancy was a passive response to avoid the effort involved in remembering the different flower characteristics. However, researchers at University of Tsukuba have revealed that this theory is incomplete, since it focuses too heavily on "m…Nature · Tsukuba See the Story

This is Your Brain During Sex: New Research Shows What Happens to Mice During Intercourse

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Sex is a complex process, not just physically but neurologically. Scientists have long known that the brain’s reward system, particularly the neurotransmitter dopamine, plays a role in pleasure and motivation. However, new research published in Neuron reveals that dopamine doesn’t act alone—its intricate interplay with another neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, controls the precise progression of sexual behavior in male mice. These findings could …Tsukuba · Tsukuba Read Article

Heat from the sun triggers earthquake activity on Earth

When the ground shakes violently, entire cities can crumble within minutes. Homes, hospitals, roads, and lives can vanish suddenly. Despite advances in technology, predicting when earthquakes will occur remains challenging. But scientists have recently discovered an unexpected clue that might help improve forecasts: the sun’s heat. Scientists understand the basics of earthquakes. The Earth’s crust consists of large tectonic plates, massive slabs…Tsukuba · Tsukuba Read Article
