The Greek historian Herodotus reported over 2,000 years ago on a misguided forbidden experiment in which two children were prevented from hearing human speech so that a king could discover the true, unlearned language of human beings.
A 'forbidden' bee experimentthat could not observe other waggle dances before they themselves danced.
We then tested the same bees later, when they were experienced foragers. Bees who had lacked teachers now produced significantly fewer directional and disorder errors, possibly because they had more practice or had learned by eventually following other dancers. This is the first known example of such complex social learning of communication in insects and is a form of animal culture.A mystery remained with respect to the bees that had lacked dance teachers early on. They could never correct their distance errors. They continued to overshoot, communicating greater distances than normal.
," described as the relationship between the distance to a food source and the corresponding waggle dance duration.. Researchers suspect this variation exists because colonies, even of the same species, can live in very different environments.

Scientists Create “Reddmatter” – Game-Changing Room-Temperature SuperconductorResearchers have not only raised the temperature, but also lowered the pressure required to achieve superconductivity. In a historic achievement, University of Rochester researchers have created a superconducting material at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications.
