BIOLOGY. The geometry and make-up of surface layers on (prokaryotic) cells. Interesting to think of the natural geometric patterning of proteins as layered system boundaries that are necessary for life.
The Bartgeier, also known as the Bearded Vulture or Lammergeier, is found in the Alps and other mountain ranges of southern Europe. It has an incredible 3m/9.8ft wingspan or 1.4 LeBron James. Photo taken at Alpenzoo in Innsbruck, Austria. Alpenzoo continues to house and breed Bartgeiers as part of an ongoing conservation effort. #birds#science#ecology#biology#photography#nature#wildlife
#FollowFriday I recommend @IrishMECFSAssociation if you are interested in studies and #research about #LongCovid#MECFS etc. They provide international informations.
By weaving popsicle sticks together in a specific pattern, there is a build up potential energy (stored energy) in the bent and twisted sticks. When released from one end, this stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the sticks rapidly unfurl & fly through the air in a chain reaction. #science#physics#energy#engineering
Last week, Unistellar, an innovative company in optical devices and a partner of the SETI Institute since the release of their user-friendly smart telescope in 2017, announced the launch of a groundbreaking new product: the ENVISION Smart Binoculars. This new device will captivate stargazers and outdoor enthusiasts, serving as an excellent instrument for outreach and scientific expeditions.
Astronomers using JWST have just identified the earliest, most distant galaxy known. This image shows JADES-GS-z14-0 as it was when the universe was 2.2% its current age.

Join communications specialist Beth Johnson in an exciting chat with lead author and researcher Taylor Bell from the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute as they discuss these amazing findings and what they mean in the search for habitable worlds.
On the lunar surface, a single Earth day would be 56 microseconds shorter — a tiny number that can lead to significant inconsistencies over time. That’s why scientists aren’t just looking to create a new “time zone” for the Moon, but an entirely new “time scale” that accounts for the faster speed at which seconds tick by up there. CNN explains: https://flip.it/V_LgSS #Science#Space#Moon#Time#NASA
#PPOD: The shadow is not that of Europa but a second moon (Io), which is not in this frame. Europa is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon and is tidally locked. Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is a vast cyclonic storm system about three times the size of Earth when Voyager flew by. Since 1979, the GRS has continuously shrunk, slowly changing its shape from an oval to a circle. It is now a little over the size of the Earth only. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Kevin M. Gill
How much does misinformation affect the people who consume it? Researchers at MIT and Penn set out to analyze the impact of 13,000 headlines on vaccination intentions among roughly 233 million U.S.-based Facebook users. Read more from Science Alert, including what type of content had the biggest influence over vaccine hesitancy. https://flip.it/jbP52i #Science#Health#SocialMedia#Misinformation
Today, the Greenland ice sheet is melting rapidly, and some scientists worry that the Atlantic current system may be headed for a climate tipping point this century.
New research, published in the journal Science, suggests that the risk is not as imminent as some people fear, because of data gleaned from historic iceberg records.
AI chatbots and large language models struggle to convey genuine empathy, a new study found, but that’s not the worst of it. Research led by a Stanford computer scientist shows that these conversation agents can also encourage toxic belief systems like Nazism, racism, and sexism.
