Physics News: Scientists Researching the Memory of Bees

Honeybees can remember the scent of flowers they visit by allocating memory types differ in their small brains, the researchers suspected. Professor Lesley Rogers from the University of New England in Armidale, Australia, and Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trento in Italy this week to report their findings to the journal Plo ONE. The researchers showed that the bee brain is divided...

Physics Context: Flying Technique of Swallow

Have you ever seen a tornado or vortex of the cyclone-shaft?  All the objects that are flying around the tornado will be brought into the rotation, such as a tornado sucked in the direction axis.  Why so?  Because the air pressure inside the tornado is smaller than the surrounding air pressure.  The difference in air pressure caused large enough to draw objects like oil drums, roofs, and even...

Physics Context: Black Hole

A black hole is a region of space whose gravitational force is so strong that nothing can escape from it. A black hole is invisible because it even traps light. The fundamental descriptions of black holes are based on equations in the theory of general relativity developed by the German-born physicist Albert Einstein. The theory was published in 191...
