Many universities are currently enabling the #genocide in Palestine. This happens via investments and purchase agreements with UN-blacklisted corporations that support the Israeli military machine.
“If you’d have asked me 20 years ago, I would have said there was quite a big gap in behavior, and Neanderthals would have lacked many of the complex behaviors we find in Homo sapiens. Now that gap has narrowed considerably.”
Congratulations to the entire @VirginAtlantic team consisting of researchers from several universities and private companies for successfully completing the 1st transatlantic flight from London to NY in a commercial Boeing 787 using non fossil fuel made from waste fats.
The researchers will be making their exact process opensource for all.
This year I finished one of the most fascinating projects I ever worked on.
Together with a team of researchers from the molecular neurodegeneration department at Amsterdam UMC we came up with a visual and interactive way to present their latest paper on tau protein aggregation and its effect on astrocytes.
A rare case of an in-sync gravitational lockstep in a solar system.
A star smaller and cooler than our Sun hosts a truly strange family of planets: six “sub-Neptunes” – possibly smaller versions of our own Neptune – moving in a cyclic rhythm. This orbital waltz repeats itself so precisely it can be readily set to music.
Today CMS celebrates all our colleagues and their identities: we raise the progress pride flag in recognition of all members of the LGBTQIA+ community who have and continue to contribute to STEM 🌈
Cosmologists have a dark energy fix for the Hubble tension—a mismatch between two Universe-expansion-rate measurements. However, a new study shows that this fix messes up predictions for a set of hydrogen absorption lines for quasars.
#mythbusting: Damage to roads from ice comes from the growth of ice crystals, not the expansion of water as it freezes. Now researchers show that the number of crystals an ice block contains determines how bad the damage will be.
A major headache for recyclers is complex packaging that incorporates multiple materials. So why not consider the end point in the first place? #AmericaRecyclesDay
A lot of people in academia will swear to god that their code is absolutely perfect and their computations above reproach, but they absolutely refuse to show you any of it because it's got a bad hair day or something and is not looking pretty at the moment.
The number of Americans with diabetes, overwhelmingly type 2, has increased steadily over the past 6 decades — and the rate of increase has risen sharply since the mid-1990s. Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the US.
Diabetes cannot be cured once it develops, but it can be prevented.
Bulgaria is now the 32nd nation to officially sign on to NASA Artemis Accords.
Agreeing to work in peaceful, open, partnership with NASA and 30 other countries
in all aspects of moon exploration, colonization, and resource mining.
Let us hope many more countries continue to follow.
Can wind turbines coexist peacefully with bats and birds?
As wind power grows around the world, so does the threat the turbines pose to wildlife. From simple fixes to high-tech solutions, new approaches can help.
L'allemand Julian Voss-Andreae 🇩🇪 est un artiste à la trajectoire singulière : il a commencé sa carrière comme physicien quantique avant de se lancer dans l'art.
Voss-Andreae associe harmonieusement les concepts scientifiques à l'expression artistique. Ses sculptures deviennent un pont entre le monde tangible et le domaine immatériel de la physique quantique.
En voici une de ses œuvres. C'est une interprétation du paradoxe de la physique quantique ! Construite à partir de tranches de miroirs en coupe transversale, la sculpture semble quasi invisible lorsqu'elle est vue de face ou de dos et solide lorsqu'on se déplace sur les cotés.
#Mars global maps show the likely distribution of water ice buried within the upper 3 feet of the planet's surface
and represent the latest data from the Subsurface Water Ice Mapping project.
Cette photo a été prise au parc national Bükk, en Hongrie 🇭🇺.
L'arbre le plus mince a été coupé il y a des années ; le plus grand le tient et le nourrit depuis lors ; ils se « réveillent » ensemble au printemps et « s'endorment » ensemble à l'automne.
Le terme scientifique est « l'anastomose » en français 🇫🇷 ou «l'inosculation » en anglais 🇬🇧 :
C'est ce phénomène naturel dans lequel des parties de deux arbres différents, généralement mais pas exclusivement de la même espèce, poussent ensemble, s'auto-greffant et partageant les nutriments.
