Since decoding the “waggle dance” in the 1940s, bees have been at the forefront of research into insect intellect. A new study shows that bees can be trained to understand the dot-dash behavior of ...

Bumblebees can separate dot-like and dash-like flashes in a way that resembles Morse code. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London trained the insects to use the duration of a light cue to ...

A new study is the first to show that an insect can differentiate between different durations of visual cues. In Morse code, a short duration flash or “dot” denotes a letter “E” and a long duration ...

In Morse code, a short duration flash or ‘dot’ denotes a letter ‘E’ and a long duration flash, or ‘dash’, means letter ‘T’. Until now, the ability to discriminate between ‘dot’ and ‘dash’ has been ...

Bumblebees can learn to understand a simple kind of Morse code and differentiate between long and short light flashes, according to a new study. Researchers have shown for the first time that the ...

It is well known that pictographic languages that use Hanzi, like Mandarin, are difficult to work with for computer input and output devices. After all, each character is a tiny picture that ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists found that bumblebees can tell the difference between short and long light flashes, much like recognizing Morse code. The insects learned which signal led to a ...

In the latest test of the tiny workings of bumblebee minds, scientists have taught the fuzzy insects to tell the difference between patterns of light – a kind of simplified Morse code – to find a ...

Claw machines can leave you feeling pretty angry in a short space of time, thanks to the fact you think you're going to win, and then... don't. Most people have experienced the disappointment of ...

Claw machines can be a lot of fun, but could also prove to be seriously frustrating. You've no doubt been there, desperately trying to win a toy, adding pound coin after pound coin into the machine ...
