POPSInsects Like Mammals Use Vision Rather Than Touch "Scientists have shown for the first time that insects, like mammals, use vision rather than touch to find footholds. They made the discovery thanks to high-speed video cameras - technology the BBC uses to capture its stunning wildlife footage - that they used to film desert locusts stepping along the rungs of a miniature ladder."

POPSWhat metaphors to you live by? I am working on a presentation on dealing with grief and loss. One of the metaphors used to mange this core issue is "a journey." No one grieves in the same way at the same speed or arrives at the same end destination (if there is one). This is why "a journey" is so useful when understanding our losses. What metaphors do you use to manage the losses in life? What general metaphors do you live by? Comment or tweet us a reply @thirstyfishinfo

POPSPhotoshop Has Ruined EVERYTHING These photographs are incredible ... but how can you distinguish "slow shutter speed" from Photoshop? Well ... how? Or does it even matter? Just like film comingled with CGI. Exactly what is real and what is simulated?

POPSBlack Holes May Act Like Cosmic Factories for Building Galaxies
The stream of material was likely to be fuelling star formation in the galaxy, the scientists believe. In effect, the quasar was building its own host galaxy. At a later stage the quasar was expected to end up at the galaxy’s centre. ‘The two objects are bound to merge in the future: the quasar is moving at a speed of only a few tens of thousands of kilometres per hour with respect to the companion galaxy and their separation is only about 22,000 light-years,’ said lead scientist Dr David Elbaz, from the CEA research institute in Saclay, France. ‘Although the quasar is still ‘naked’, it will eventually be ‘dressed’ when it merges with its star-rich companion. It will then finally reside inside a host galaxy like all other quasars.’ A similar process may have led to the formation of other large galaxies with massive black holes nestling within them, the scientists believe. The research appears in the journals Astronomy & Astrophysics, and the Astrophysical Journal.

POPS"Blue Skies" versus "Goal-Oriented" Research The Large Hadron Collider at Cern near Geneva has now achieved the status of the most powerful particle accelerator and the biggest and most expensive experiment in history. Will it be worth its cost? (via @ProfBrianCox)

POPSPlaying tricks with the speed of light The mechanics of slowing light down, as well as speeding it up, is governed by methods and equations that are pretty well understood. Now scientists just have to figure out what to do with it.
