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 ...

Bees never stop surprising us with what they can do, and a new study has just added something unexpected to the list. Bumblebees can tell the difference between long and short flashes of light, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental Apparatus. On the right is the wooden nest box where bees live. It is connected by acrylic tunnels to the observation chamber at the top of the picture and the three experimental ...

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 ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown for the first time that an insect—the bumblebee Bombus terrestris—can decide where to forage for food based on different durations of visual ...

Arduino is being acquired by Qualcomm subject to regulatory approval for an undisclosed sum. Qualcomm Arduino introduces a new UNO form factor board, the Arduino UNO Q, which features both a STM32 MCU ...

Abstract: Morse code remains a practical mode of communication in constrained or low-bandwidth environments. However, traditional decoding systems often lack adaptability, scalability, and educational ...
