    A new kind of bass trap! Low-frequency sound absorption achieved by replacing the high-stiffness neck of a Helmholtz resonator w/ a soft, viscoelastic cylindrical shell for tunable viscoelastic damping. Greater than 97% absorption of 227 to 329 Hz with deep-subwavelength thickness (λ/15 at 227 Hz). [contains quote post or other embedded content]

    Bumble bees learned to discriminate rhythmic patterns; generalized those patterns to slower & faster rates; and transferred learning of 2 vibrational patterns to their equivalent flashing light patterns. Suggests that bumble bees have truly flexible rhythm perception. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz2894
