Animals, like us, experience a deterioration of memory in old age. A new study, however, indicates that cuttlefish are the first species in which this appears not to be the case.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of Cambridge, F… Continue reading Study suggests cuttlefish don’t experience age-related memory loss
Following an international architecture competition, Finland’s PES-Architects has been commissioned to transform a historic dock in China into a submarine museum. The building will be defined by a striking reflective facade and will be centered around … Continue reading Submarine museum surfaces in historic Chinese dock
Hydration packs are great for keeping a water supply close at hand when you’re out biking or running, but … you might feel kind of funny wearing one on your daily urban commute.
