Researchers Discover Rats' Ability to Move Objects Remotely

Researchers from Harvard University and the University at Buffalo have discovered that rats can manipulate matter at a distance using ultrasonic vocalizations, challenging traditional views of animal biology. These high-frequency sounds, ranging from 22 kHz to 80 kHz, allow rats to move microscopic particles, enhancing their ability to detect pheromones for communication and survival. This phenomenon not only highlights an evolutionary adaptation in rats but also suggests potential technological applications in fields like medical diagnostics and sensory enhancement.
