And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered that mice may possess ultrasonic powers, using sound to manipulate nanoparticles and enhance their sense of smell.
Traditionally, these rodents were thought to use ultrasonic vocalizations solely for courtship.
However, bioacoustics experts observed that mice sniff after producing these sounds, suggesting a more complex function.
This phenomenon, described as creating new pathways of information, could reshape our understanding of animal communication and provide insights into manipulating nanoparticles with sound.
As Jessica Jo from Harvard University notes, mice play a crucial role in biological research, potentially leading to significant medical advancements.
