For startups choosing a platform, a decision looms: Build or buy?
Platforms exist to help startups get to users and customers faster and should be used as means to an end, but everyone must get their piece. TX Zhuo Contributor Share on Twitter.....»»
Water and quantum magnets share critical physics
In physics, things exist in phases, such as solid, liquid and gas states. When something crosses from one phase to another, we talk about a phase transition—like water boiling into steam, turning from liquid to gas......»»
Apple: ‘Moving iMessage to Android will hurt us more than help us’
Android users have long wanted an iMessage app to use the popular messaging service on non-Apple devices. Epic’s lawsuit against Apple has now revealed and confirmed that lock-in is the reason why iMessage for Android does not exist. moreR.....»»
Molecule could beat antibiotic-resistant infections
By using their knowledge of how bacteria co-exist and compete with one another in nature, Western University researchers have discovered a compound that can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, a deadly bacterium that can cause pneumonia and.....»»
Computational tool for materials physics growing in popularity
A new piece of software developed at Caltech makes it easier to study the behavior of electrons in materials—even materials that have been predicted but do not yet exist. The software, called Perturbo, is gaining traction among researchers......»»

NFTs are suddenly everywhere, but they have some big problems
For several weeks, it's been near impossible to exist on the internet without at least hearing a mention of NFTs. Short for non-fungible tokens, they are pieces of digital content linked to the blockchain, the digital database underpinning cryptocurr.....»»
Lab one step closer to understanding how life started on Earth
How did life begin on Earth and could it exist elsewhere? Researchers at Simon Fraser University have isolated a genetic clue—an enzyme known as an RNA polymerase—that provides new insights about the origins of life. The research is published tod.....»»
Complex Carbon-Based Molecules Found In Space
fahrbot-bot shares a report from Phys.Org: Much of the carbon in space is believed to exist in the form of large molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Since the 1980s, circumstantial evidence has indicated that these molecules are.....»»
Real-world Supercross tracks have been influenced by the sport’s video game
Ars talks to the sport's senior director of operations to learn about the whoops. An average Supercross track uses 5,500 cubic feet (155 m3) of dirt, which is built into a track inside an exist.....»»
Found in space: Complex carbon-based molecules
Much of the carbon in space is believed to exist in the form of large molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Since the 1980s, circumstantial evidence has indicated that these molecules are abundant in space, but they have not been.....»»

Tracking cosmic ghosts
The idea was so far-fetched it seemed like science fiction: create an observatory out of a one cubic kilometer block of ice in Antarctica to track ghostly particles called neutrinos that pass through the Earth. But speaking to Benedickt Riedel, globa.....»»
Retreating glaciers threaten herbs used to make iconic alpine liqueurs
Alpine landscapes are irrevocably changing: scientists estimate that the Alps may be glacier-free by the end of this century. As the ice melts, the unique ecosystems that exist at their edges are also fading. New research published in Frontiers in Ec.....»»
