Sniffing electric fields: ampullae of Lorenzini on a tiger shark's snout. (CC BY-SA/Albert Kok) Scientists in the US have discovered that a jelly-like material found in the skin of sharks and some ...

I headed down on a gloomy Sunday morning around 11am, and was pretty stoked about dining here for the very first time despite passing by this hawker centre countless of times. I began searching for ...

Sharks, skates, and rays can detect very weak electric fields produced by prey and other animals using an array of unusual organs known as the ampullae of Lorenzini. Exactly how these electrosensory ...

The secret to sharks' ability to track and hunt down their prey could all hinge upon a strange type of jelly found in the pores that dot their heads and bodies. Only now, over 300 years after it was ...

A handler in Indonesia holds Jelly, the first of seven eggs bred at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium to hatch as part of a global shark conservation effort. At just 9.8 inches long and weighing roughly ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we talk about the Ampullae of Lorenzini that allow sharks to detect the electrochemical signals coming from prey. We also cover the fascinating science behind ...

Proton conductors can be used in technological applications like fuel cells, and Rolandi sees potential use for these "shark jelly" insights in the development of new or enhanced materials or even the ...
