An international team of researchers from the University of Turku, Finland, and the INRAE of Nouzilly, France, explored the ability of sledging reindeer to follow directional indications from humans. Their results highlight that reindeer, which are well habituated to humans, can make use of gestural cues very well with minimal training.

Working animals, such as equines, shepherd dogs, and logging elephants, spend a significant amount of time interacting closely with humans to fulfill specific tasks. Effective communication plays a crucial role in their working relationship. Animals’ understanding of human cues, particularly manual pointing gestures, is an important aspect of this communication.

The use of pointing gestures to communicate with others and to show them where to look or to go is very natural for humans. For other animals that do not use this way of communication, the gesture may not always be easy to understand. For this reason, the pointing gesture is often used in experiments to see if animals can understand cues that are specific to humans.

Japanese company PowerX has unveiled the detailed design of the first-ever “Battery Tanker” at the Bariship International Maritime Exhibition held in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.

For over a century, oil tankers have been a familiar sight on international shipping routes, delivering vital energy sources to power our civilisation. But as the world shifts away from fossil fuels, they could soon be joined by new and futuristic-looking vessels bringing cleaner forms of energy.

Being able to understand and speak to people in several different languages could be a true game-changer on your next international vacation. Imagine what a different travel experience you’d have if you were able to converse with locals and discover all the hidden gems a city has to offer.

These translator earbuds that translate over 30 languages are perfect for travel and currently on sale for $150.

The brightest gamma-ray explosion ever caught on record, which was so bright it blinded scientific instruments, just got weirder.

GRB 221,009, first spotted in October 2022, outshone other cosmic explosions on record by “not just a little bit, but a hundred times,” George Washington University graduate student Brendan O’Connor said in a press release.

The explosion earned the nickname BOAT for “Brightest of All Time.”

Octopuses use RNA editing to rapidly respond to environmental temperature changes. The finding may influence RNA editing therapeutics in humans.
