and you probably will not imagine a bat. But that may change. A team of paleontologists in China announced on Wednesday the discovery of a dinosaur that sported the same kinds of fleshy wings bats ...

This rod seemed to support a membrane, much like that of a flying squirrel or bat. These wings were mutually exclusive: dinosaur or pterosaur, feathery or leathery. But Yi went for both options!

BOSTON — Wings are for swimming. Boxing. Catching a falling baby. So far, bat biologist Thomas Kunz of Boston University and his colleagues have come up with 52 things bats do with their wings ...

There was only one other case where researchers found a similar dinosaur species with bat-like wings. In 2015, Chinese ...

A new species of tiny dinosaur has been discovered with bat-like wings. The dino fossil was discovered in Liaoning Province, China, and is thought to be around 163 million years old. Researcher ...

Bat wings sport a unique touch-receptor design, researchers reported Thursday in the journal Cell Reports. Tiny sensory cells associated with fine hairs on the bat wing likely enable the animals ...

a robotic bat with soft, flappable wings that could not only make for a safer alternative to keeping drones aloft with spinning blades, but also teach scientists more about the mechanics at work ...

Biologists since Charles Darwin have used the structure of the bat wing as an example of both evolutionary novelty — the appearance of a new trait — and vertebrate homology, or shared ancestry between ...

More than 160 million years ago, the forests of ancient China were home to a bizarre predator: a tiny dinosaur that glided from tree to tree with leathery, bat-like wings. The newfound fossil ...
