Night Owl, the late-night cookie purveyor with a rabid fan base, is set to debut a Design District location, complete with an outdoor courtyard. Opening Monday, November 25, the 600-square-foot space ...

Researchers used the characteristics of owl wings to inform airfoil design and significantly reduce trailing-edge noise. The team used noise calculation and analysis software to conduct a series of ...

Chiba University researchers have been studying owl flight to design aircraft that emit less noise. They created 3D models of owl wings with special fringes that cut through air while reducing noise.

Many species of owl are able to hunt in effective silence by suppressing their noise at sound frequencies above 1.6 kilohertz (kHz) - over the range to which human hearing is most sensitive. A team of ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: So why watch birds? Answer, they can help you with engineering. That's why Dr Nigel ...
