🐝 NEW: #Bumblebees returning to a hive were filmed landing on a #flower model sliding sideways twice a second.
Three high-speed cameras recorded 48 landings, rebuilt in three dimensions. #Bees banked to match the platform’s motion, lagging slightly behind it, and models combining the flower’s visual motion with the bee’s turning rate reproduced their flights.

🪰 NEW: Researchers analyzing #walking in #fruitflies, #mice, and #humans discovered that despite their anatomical differences, all three species exhibit the same joint-velocity pattern, where limbs farther from the body move faster than those closer to it.
This fundamental principle of motor control stays constant even as #aging affects each #species differently, suggesting that they share evolutionary #solutions to #locomotion.

The #IgNobel Prize of #Biomechanics is awarded to Matilda Brindle, Catherine Talbot and Stuart West, for devising a more precise definition of kissing.
The Prize of #Economics is awarded to Paul Piff, Daniel Stancato and Stephane Cota, for finding evidence that upper class people are more likely to snatch supply children's candy and engage in unethical behaviour.
The Prize of #Chemistry is awarded to a team from India, France, Japan and USA for discovering that milk proteins from viviparous cockroaches contains three times more milk proteins than cow's milk.

New Post..
Can You Stand Still?
Why a Balance Test Is Not the Same Thing as Testing Human Balance
Balance is not one sense, one organ, or one static score. It is a changing closed-loop interaction between sensory information, body mechanics, movement, prediction, environment, adaptation — and sometimes fear.
A balance test can measure something important very well.
The problem begins when we ask it to represent more than it actually measured.
Measurement of a component is not automatically measurement of system function.Paper III takes the Biological Representation series from Hearing and Vision into a much harder test: an adaptive system whose actions continually change its next inputs.
Don’t break the tool. Define its proper boundaries.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐛🌊 Scientists have long wondered why no #insects live in the #ocean, often blaming #water pressure.
A new #study found that #larvae of the lake fly Chaoborus edulis dive nearly 260 m in #LakeMalawi using stretchy air sacs powered by the #protein #resilin. This pressure-resisting ability rules out pressure as the barrier, leaving the #mystery unsolved.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐋🌀 Researchers used X-ray CT and #microscopy to map a #narwhal tusk in #3D.
They found a second, inner spiral running opposite the outer one, a #doublehelix that keeps the #tusk stiff yet flexible, letting it bend without cracking. They hope the tusk’s growth layers record changing #ocean conditions over the #animal’s long life.

Meet Eleni Dalaka: Her research focuses on how mechanical cell forces, multicellular physical interactions and mechanical plasticity shape cancer metastasis. Her lab at Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin uses novel optical techniques to image and quantify the mechanical state of cancer cells and organoids, and identify the link between cell mechanics and cancer progression.

Biomechanical analysis of the legs of modern birds that hop to start flight, when applied to *Archaeopteryx* fossils, indicate that the proto-bird would have been able to launch itself using multiple hops. This supports a hypothesis that flight may have originated ground-up, possibly as a mechanism for predator avoidance.

Researchers found that #mice adopt the same skipping gait in simulated lunar #gravity, but lose it when their #proprioception cells are disabled. The gait may offer a useful speed stability trade off on uneven low gravity terrain.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🛩️🪰 Male #dragonflies engage in aerial dogfights to defend territory, using simple visual rules like fighter pilots.
Researchers in the #UK used stereoscopic cameras to reconstruct 3D flight paths of the scarlet Trithemis aurora dragonfly. The #insects pull up to 6 Gs and compete for tail chase positioning rather than intercepting like they do with prey.

Снято в Голливуде? Почему Стэнли Кубрик физически не смог бы подделать лунную походку / Offсянка
https://3dnews.ru/1143927/snyato-v-gollivude
> Конспирологи утверждают: Стэнли Кубрик сначала создал спецэффекты для фильма «2001: Космическая одиссея», а затем по той же технологии снял высадку «Аполлонов» в павильоне.
Кинодекорации действительно могли обмануть зрение, но физику обмануть нельзя. Этот материал доказывает, почему трюки Кубрика технически неспособны воспроизвести хаос реальной лунной биомеханики.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐈🔄 For over a century, the “falling cat problem” had physicists building equations to explain how #cats land on their feet without violating the laws of motion.
A new #study out of #Japan took a different approach: looking at the cat’s spine itself. They found that the upper back twists freely while the lower back stays stiff, letting a cat rotate its front half into position and swing the rear into alignment mid-fall.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🕷️🕸️ Researchers from #Macquarie University discovered a new ballista #spider species in #Queensland’s #CapeYork #rainforest that builds a spring-loaded web snare targeting green tree #ants.
When an ant bites the cone, tension lines fire it into the web at 1,367 m/s² – roughly 140 G – making this the most power-dense biological catapult known. The spider’s use of pheromone-mimicking silk represents a #hunting strategy not seen before in any #arachnid.
