The bees were split into two groups. For the first one, a short flash was the “dot” in Morse code, and it was associated with sugar. A longer flash, or a “dash” was associated with a bitter substance ...

A study finds that bumblebees can tell long and short light flashes apart, revealing a surprising timing skill in these tiny ...

Bumblebees can learn to understand a simple kind of Morse code and differentiate between long and short light flashes, according to a new study. Researchers have shown for the first time that the ...

In a surprising revelation, scientists have discovered that bumblebees can learn to read simple “Morse code.” This ...

Researchers say they will be able to test different models in the "miniature brains" smaller than one cubic millimeter.

Experimental Apparatus. On the right is the wooden nest box where bees live. It is connected by acrylic tunnels to the observation chamber at the top of the picture and the three experimental ...

When the first radios and telegraph lines were put into service, essentially the only way to communicate was to use Morse code. The first transmitters had extremely inefficient designs by today’s ...

Thanks to Samuel F.B. Morse, communication changed rapidly, and has been changing ever faster since. He invented the electric telegraph in 1832. It took six more years for him to standardize a code ...
