It’s a specialized camouflage technique that makes the squid nearly invisible to predators and prey. Watch the video above filmed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) to see ...
In condensed matter physics, scanning SQUID microscopy is a technique where a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is used to image surface magnetic field strength with micrometre-scale resolution. A tiny SQUID is mounted onto a tip which is then rastered near the surface of the sample to be
A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely weak magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions. SQUIDs are sensitive enough to measure fields as low as 5×10 −18 T with a few days of averaged measurements. [ 1 ]
Perhaps the best video of a live colossal squid is that of an animal recorded at the surface in the D'Urville Sea off Antarctica in January 2008. [21] The squid was pulled to the surface feeding on a line-caught toothfish. The video is likely the first to show a colossal squid swimming freely, and records the animal performing a slow roll on ...
Giant squid caught by hook and line off Greymouth, New Zealand, on 16 August 2018 (#657 on this list). It now forms part of the collections of the Auckland War Memorial Museum. This list of giant squid specimens and sightings since 2015 is a timeline of recent human encounters with members of the genus Architeuthis, popularly known as giant squid.
The documentary shows experts performing dissection on some of nature's largest animals, including whales and elephants. The programme is presented by Mark Evans. The series attempts to uncover the secrets of the animals examined. Mark is assisted by evolutionary biologists Richard Dawkins and Simon Watt, and comparative anatomist Joy ...
The squid giant axon is the very large (up to 1.5 mm in diameter; typically around 0.5 mm) axon that controls part of the water jet propulsion system in squid.
Loligo is a genus of squid and one of the most representative and widely distributed groups of myopsid squid.. The genus was first described by Jean Baptiste Lamarck in 1798. . However, the name had been used earlier than Lamarck (Schneider, 1784; Linnaeus, 1758) and might even have been used by Pli
