When hit with low-frequency ultrasound, the nanoparticles release antibiotics deep inside bacterial communities ...

Millions of hedgehogs die as they cross the roads, but a discovery is paving the way for a warning that might stop them crossing at dangerous times.

Researchers have discovered that hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, a surprising ability that could help protect them from cars. Since road traffic kills large numbers of hedgehogs, scientists believe ...

This is where the ultrasound comes in. The high-frequency sound pulses exert an acoustic radiation force that actually traps and moves this hotter, less-dense air. The sound waves push the hot air ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have suggested that ultrasound-repellers could help reduce hedgehog deaths caused by cars. The proposal is based on new findings, published in Biology Letters, ...

Study shows animals hear very high frequencies, making it possible to design a deterrent to cut deaths ...

The proposal is based on their findings which show for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.

Road traffic accidents kill up to one in three hedgehogs in local populations. It’s not easy to deter hedgehogs from venturing on dangerous roads, but their hearing could be surprisingly useful. In a ...

But a new study by the University of Oxford has discovered that the much-loved mammal can hear high-frequency ultrasounds, ...
