Karen Hopkin: Bats rely on echolocation to navigate the night skies and to chase down and capture even erratically moving prey. But even more impressive than their aerial acrobatics are the mental ...

Helium leaks are hard to detect. Helium is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and does not react with other chemical substances. Not only can we not see or smell it, but traditional gas sensors have ...

The key insight behind the device is that sound travels at different speeds in different gases. In helium, sound moves much ...

It’s now well-established that bats can develop a mental picture of their environment using echolocation. But we’re still figuring out what that means—how bats take the echoes of their own ...
