A new open-source device records whale clicks with context, giving AI the data it needs to search for structure in sperm ...

Project CETI is harnessing AI to understand the complex communication system of sperm whales. In a new study, the project's scientists used AI to decode thousands of sperm whale clicks. CETI founder ...

Say you want to listen in on a group of super-intelligent aliens whose language you don't understand, and whose spaceship ...

This is what it sounds like when sperm whales communicate. Those bursts of clicking noises are called codas. It's sounds a bit like Morse code. New research has found their system of communication is ...

Sperm whales have a lot to say. The animals spend much of their lives in darkness, searching the ocean's depths for giant squid. So sound rules their world, especially in their tight-knit family ...

Scientists studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other for the first time. They hope the ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are using machine learning to research sperm whale communication habits -- and they're learning unprecedented things. Their new study, ...

The various species of whales inhabiting Earth’s oceans employ different types of vocalizations to communicate. Sperm whales, the largest of the toothed whales, communicate using bursts of clicking ...

MONTEREY – Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean’s surface, the planet’s largest-toothed predator hunts for prey, which could include a giant squid or even a shark. Since the deep ocean is dark, the ...

Biologists now believe that the sperm whale’s massive head functions like a powerful telegraph machine, emitting pulses of sound in distinct patterns. At the front of the head are the spermaceti organ ...
