A new nonprofit, the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks, is on a mission to illuminate the hidden world of fungi beneath our feet. Gabriel Popkin, a contributing correspondent, joined these researchers on their inaugural sampling expedition in Patagonia. The researchers hope to map the global distribution of mycorrhizal fungi with a network of researchers.

Science News Video: This little bot can hitchhike, swim and swoop with ease
Robots on long survey missions need to conserve power whenever possible. What if they could just hitch a ride on whatever they’re studying? That’s the idea behind a new robot, inspired by remoras, fish that hitchhike onto other animals using an adhesive disc on top of their head.
Remoras use lamellae, slat-like bones encased in soft tissue, and spinules, rows of hard teeth-like tissue to create tight suction. In 2017, scientists created a disc inspired by these features. But the disc couldn’t suction with individual lamella, making it vulnerable to falling off.
In the new study, the researchers created a disc with redundant suctions, allowing it to attach to surfaces even if part of its disc was not fully attached.
Adding propellers on board enabled the robot to swim underwater and latch onto moving objects. The bot could also launch itself out of the water in less than half a second, scientists report this week in Science Robotics.
The researchers anticipate this robot being used in a variety of situations: from diving in the water to tag animals, to long term environmental surveys. Watch the video to see the robot tackle a variety of situations with ease.

It turns out that humans are pretty special among mammals, but it's not just because of our big brains and the fact that we walk on two legs.

Science News Video: Watch the early universe evolve in this animation | Science News
The universe was a cold, dark place 10 million years after the Big Bang. Hydrogen gas began to clump together 100 million years later, forming dense regions (white) that gave birth to the first stars and galaxies, as seen in this animation from a new simulation of the early universe. Light radiating from the stars (blue) heated the gas around the galaxies as matter collected in a weblike arrangement. The pink bursts are high-temperature regions that appeared as some stars exploded. The galaxies and stars we see today lie along the filaments that resulted from the complicated interplay between matter and starlight as the universe evolved.

Science News Video: This tiger shark is mapping the world’s biggest seagrass bed | Science News
Using observations gathered by camera-equipped tiger sharks (like the one shown here) and a crew of divers, researchers have discovered the world’s largest expanse of seagrasses. The newly mapped seagrass bed in the Bahamas Banks, a cluster of underwater plateaus surrounding the Bahama archipelago, covers an area half the size of Florida. Seagrass meadows help fight climate change by capturing and burying carbon for millennia, and this one could store a quarter of all carbon trapped by seagrasses worldwide.

Science News Video: Watch a shark encounter a hook outfitted with SharkGuard | Science News
Sharks and their relatives can detect electric fields using organs in the skin called ampullae of Lorenzini. So researchers tested whether attaching a SharkGuard device, which emits a pulse of electricity every two seconds, to a fishing line just above the hook could deter a shark. The results, showing a shark taking the bait of a normal hook but other sharks veering away from hooks with the device, could hold promise for preventing millions of sharks from becoming bycatch.

To figure out whether rats innately perceive rhythm, researchers used motion capture cameras to track how rats move to a musical beat. The colored dots indicate markers that helped the cameras track the rodent’s subtle head bobbing as it hears a Mozart piano sonata and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” The study could help reveal the evolutionary foundations of humans’ sense of rhythm.
