    How do pollinators get attracted to flowers?

    Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies For our ecology to survive and for food production to occur, pollination is essential. Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies. Brightly coloured petals in hues like yellow, red, and blue are designed to catch the attention of specific pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, each of which may be drawn to different colours. For the male reproductive cells (pollen) to reach the female reproductive parts (ovaries), all seed plants must be pollinated. This preserves genetic variation and enables the plants to generate seeds for species propagation. In order for pollinators to locate them, flowers have evolved to exhibit clues. In addition, pollinators are frequently compensated with nectar for the “service” they render. Many flowers also emit enticing fragrances that signal the presence of nectar, creating an appealing invitation for pollinators to…

      Indian-Origin Scientist’s ‘E-Skin’ Makes Robots Feel The Pain Of Being Human

      Who would’ve thought that we would have utility for robots that can feel pain? A team of scientists led by Indian-origin engineer has created “e-skin” capable of feeling pain. In turn, this could facilitate the creation of new generation robots. Pain isn’t the underlying purpose of this line of enquiry. As Professor Ravinder Dahiya from the University of Glasgow put it, the feat could help scientists create neuromorphic printed e-skin that can respond appropriately to stimuli. “The development of this new form of electronic skin didn’t really involve inflicting pain as we know it – it’s simply a shorthand way to explain the process of learning from external stimulus,” Dahiya explained. How was the skin developed? Using a new type of processing…
