Scientists shocked as bumblebees learn to read simple “Morse code”
In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists found that bumblebees can tell the difference between short and long light flashes, much like recognizing Morse code. The insects learned which signal led to a sweet reward, demonstrating an unexpected sense of timing. This ability may stem from a fundamental neural process, suggesting that even tiny brains have complex time-tracking mechanisms relevant to evolution and AI.

Dyonic RN-like and Taub-NUT-like black holes in Einstein-bumblebee gravity
Einstein-bumblebee gravity is one of the simplest vector-tensor theories that realizes spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking. In this work, we first construct an exact dyonic Reissner-Nordström-like black hole solution in four dimensions, carrying both electric and magnetic charges and admitting general topological horizons. We then study its thermodynamic properties, and employ the Wald formalism to compute the conserved mass and entropy, thereby establishing the first law of black hole therm…

Vision-Guided Targeted Grasping and Vibration for Robotic Pollination in Controlled Environments
Robotic pollination offers a promising alternative to manual labor and bumblebee-assisted methods in controlled agriculture, where wind-driven pollination is absent and regulatory restrictions limit the use of commercial pollinators. In this work, we present and validate a vision-guided robotic framework that uses data from an end-effector mounted RGB-D sensor and combines 3D plant reconstruction, targeted grasp planning, and physics-based vibration modeling to enable precise pollination. First…

Thermodynamics of BTZ Black Holes in Bumblebee Gravity with Barrow Entropy with Cavity-Modification
We investigate the thermodynamics of $(2+1)$ dimensional BTZ black holes in the Einstein bumblebee gravity theory with spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry caused by a nonzero vacuum expectation value of the vector field. We analyse corrections to black hole thermodynamics, including the non extensive Barrow entropy, parametrising quantum gravitational corrections to the Bekenstein Hawking area law. We introduce the York cavity formalism by placing the black hole in a finite isothermal cavi…

Exact Taub-NUT-like Black Holes in Einstein-bumblebee gravity: their thermodynamics and thermodynamic topology
We determine exact analytic three-parameter expressions for the non-rotating metric, describing a Taub-NUT-like black hole (BH), and its associated bumblebee field that are solutions to the Einstein-bumblebee gravity. We construct a consistence thermodynamics for the Taub-NUT-like BH and determine its thermodynamic topological class. The Lorentz symmetry breaking affects the mass and temperature of the BH but does not its thermodynamic topological classification.
