brainy

Science is a lot of things. It’s a person in a lab coat experimenting with different materials as well as an astronaut in bouncing around in zero gravity. It’s a geologist studying rocks and a mathematician perusing books. It’s an archeologist out on an expedition and a biologist monitoring different animal species. That’s the great things about science—it’s vast. It is also useful because of discoveries that allow us to advance in this world. It is exciting because it gives us new prospects to aspire to. It is ongoing,…

Kimora Lee Simmons Is Ecstatic As Her Daughter Aoki Lee Simmons Is One Of The Youngest In History To Graduate From Harvard (Picture Credit: Bang Showbiz) Kimora Lee Simmons is “so so soo proud” of her daughter Aoki graduating from Harvard. The ex Chanel muse praised her 20-year-old daughter for walking in her cap and gown to get her diploma from the Ivy League university and labelled her a “brainy beauty” as she did it alongside her blossoming modelling career. The 4x-year-old fashion designer wrote on Instagram:…

Optical fibers have become the foundation of modern data transmission, used for everything from telecoms and internet services to governmental and space applications. This is because they’re capable of transmitting larger amounts of data at faster speeds and over longer distances, compared to other technologies. The structure of optical fibers, however, can occasionally lead to network failures, as any twisted or bent cables can hinder the information transfer. To address this issue,…

Was Tyrannosaurus rex as smart as a baboon? Scientists don’t like to compare intelligence between species (everyone has their own talents, after all), but a controversial new study suggests some dino brains were as densely packed with neurons as those of modern primates. If so, that would mean they were very smart—more than researchers previously thought—and could have achieved feats only humans and other very intelligent animals have, such as using tools. The…

“Bird brain” insults be damned. The noggins of our flying friends are packed with neurons, and recent studies have shown birds can develop complex tools and even discriminate between paintings by Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. But is this avian acumen a recent development, evolutionarily speaking, or does it trace back tens of millions of years? A remarkably preserved fossil unearthed in Brazil may hold some answers. The 80-million-year-old bird skull contains impressions of…
