Trained goldfish showed a remarkable ability to accurately estimate the distance that they had swam. The neural circuits that underpin spatial navigation in mammals, birds, and reptiles are well known ...

The ordinary goldfish (Carassius auratus) that swims round and round in a bowl seems to have a dull existence and not much brainpower, but they are not dumb. Biologists at the University of Oxford in ...

The National Weather Service provides a way to roughly calculate distance from a lightning strike. A bolt of lightning heats the air to about 50,000 degrees when it strikes. There’s no safe place ...

A way of estimating more accurate distances to the thousands of so-called "planetary nebulae" dispersed across our Galaxy has just been announced by a team of three astronomers based at the University ...

The neural circuits that underpin spatial navigation in mammals, birds, and reptiles are well known, but it was unclear whether similar structures also existed in fish. This knowledge would allow us ...
