These bats are the only mammals known to mate without non penetrative sex ( www.sciencenews.org )
This study in serotine bats (Eptesicus serotinus) shows that the penis is used as a ‘copulatory arm’ rather than an intromittent organ, revealing a novel copulatory behaviour in mammals. DOI:doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.0
Scientists make eco friendly building material inspired by worms ( interestingengineering.com )
The team developed natural-based, low-carbon building materials by using oppositely charged bio-polymer adhesives so that they can construct these innovative materials from various grains, including desert sand, sea sand, and concrete slag. Summary :...

Scientists found a ‘golden egg’ deep in the sea near Alaska. But what is it? ( wapo.st )
…expedition coordinator Candio said, “we still are not able to identify it beyond the fact that it is biological in origin.” He added, “We likely won’t learn more until we are able to get it into a laboratory setting.”...

How Quantum Physics Describes Earth’s Weather Patterns | Quanta Magazine ( www.quantamagazine.org )
Not what I initially expected this article to be about, but I do love this kind of cross-cutting research that takes ideas from one field and applies them to a seemingly entirely different field. (Also makes me wish I’d been able to take a topology class at some point.)
References & resources about non-RNA-based self-replication? ( lemmy.ca )
We identify “life” with the capability of self-replication plus some other features. In other conditions, for instance on other planets, it could be possible for self-replication to happen in a way different from the RNA/DNA-based one....

Six newly discovered beetle species include one with bottle-opener shaped genitalia ( phys.org )
Researchers often use the genitalia of insects to differentiate species, since they are a reliable signature of a species uniqueness. A newly discovered beetle has been found to have genitalia that look remarkably similar to a bottle opener.

Neuromorphic computing could lead to self-learning machines ( interestingengineering.com )
In the last couple of years, research institutions have been working on finding new concepts of how computers can process data in the future. One of these concepts is known as neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing models may sound similar to artificial neural networks but have little to do with them....

The Data Storage of Tomorrow – Scientists Make Supramolecular Breakthrough in the development of supramolecular non volatile memristors ( scitechdaily.com )
Researchers have developed supramolecular memristors for RRAM functions, demonstrating rapid resistance switching cycles of over 1000 and and retention time exceeding 500 seconds under ambient conditions with non-volatile storage capabilities. This paves the way for advanced data storage technologies....
