Using hand-held GPS navigators, researchers tracked squirrels from their starting location to their caching location, then mapped the distribution of nut types and caching locations to detect patterns.
They found that the squirrels who foraged at a single location frequently organized their caches by nut species, returning to, say, the almond area, if that was the type of nut they were gathering, and keeping each category of nut that they buried separate. Meanwhile, the squirrels foraging in multiple locations deliberately avoided caching in areas where they had already buried nuts, rather than organizing nuts by type.

Researchers at Brunel University in London have begun to develop a new 10Gbps (Gigabits per second) home wireless network using both Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) and 5G based mmWave technology, which will fit inside LED (Light-Emitting Diode) light bulbs on your ceiling.
In simple terms, the Visible Light Communication (VLC) based Li-Fi technology works by flicking a LED light off and on thousands of times a second (by altering the length of the flickers you can introduce digital communications). However the system being tested doesn't look like something that most people would want to install in their homes, unless they like running optical fibre cabling around every light fitting and changing the bulbs in every room with a pricey Li-Fi replacement.
