Prosthetic arm blurs the line between machine and human body
A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move.
In a new virtual reality study, both extremes felt wrong.
When a prosthetic arm moves on its own, speed turns out to be…

Snakes keep evolving into cannibals — here’s what scientists think is going on
Cannibalism might seem like a rare and unnatural occurrence, but the behavior has arisen in several snake lineages throughout evolutionary history, often triggered by environmental stressors, scientists theorize.
When researchers reviewed 500…

Tracking global water circulation using atomic fingerprints
Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally exist in slightly heavier forms called isotopes. As water evaporates, forms clouds, and moves…
