Capturing the many facets of evolvability
All life evolves: microorganisms can become resistant to drugs, viruses evade our vaccines, and species may adapt to climate change. Even the ability to evolve can evolve. If we were to understand how this happens and which mechanisms play a role, it.....»»
Engineers develop terahertz imaging system capable of capturing real-time, 3D multi-spectral images
Terahertz waves can penetrate opaque materials and provide unique spectral signatures of various chemicals, but their adoption for real-world applications has been limited by the slow speed, large size, high cost and complexity of terahertz imaging s.....»»
Metal-organic frameworks study unravels mechanism for capturing water from air
Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and Dresden University of Technology have unraveled the water adsorption mechanism in certain microporous materials—so-called hierarchical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—while probing the.....»»
Older workers still struggle with work-life balance—and there"s no one-size-fits-all remedy
The idea that we can comfortably manage all the different facets of life—work, family, other responsibilities—is certainly appealing. But in reality, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to work-life balance—especially for older workers......»»

Insta360, the popular 360° camera for capturing action shots, is now compatible with Garmin and Apple Watches, allowing users to sync data to their camera footage. Keep reading below the fold for more details. more….....»»
Biodiversity modeling advances to improve predictions of nature"s contributions to people
People depend on nature in a multitude of ways. Crop pollination, pest management, storm buffering, and carbon capturing are all part of nature's contributions to people (NCP). But these contributions are subject to change—species that make vital c.....»»
What Mars would look like from an orbiting space station
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter snapped unprecedented horizon images of the Red Planet, capturing clouds as well as a moon, Phobos. Imagine being in the International Space Station and looking at the world below — except instead of gazing dow.....»»
Mars Odyssey spacecraft pulls a sideways maneuver to capture the planet’s horizon
A new image from a NASA orbiter shows an unusual view of Mars, capturing the planet's horizon complete with clouds......»»
Vera Rubin telescope will generate a mind-boggling amount of data, say astronomers
When the Vera C. Rubin Observatory comes online in 2025, it will be one of the most powerful tools available to astronomers, capturing huge portions of the sky every night with its 8.4-meter mirror and 3.2-gigapixel camera. Each image will be analyze.....»»
Protection of highly threatened sharks and rays inadequate, study finds
Biodiversity—the total variation of life—is multidimensional. Its study encompasses multiple facets, such as taxonomy (the variety of species), phylogenetics (their evolutionary history) and functionality (the ecological roles that species play i.....»»
LIBRA: An adaptative integrative tool for paired single-cell multi-omics data
Single-cell multi-omics technologies allow a profound system-level biology understanding of cells and tissues. However, an integrative and possibly systems-based analysis capturing the different modalities is challenging. In response, bioinformatics.....»»
How to use the Privacy Shield on Arlo cameras
Many Arlo cameras use a Privacy Shield to physically block the lens from capturing footage. Here's how to activate and deactivate the useful feature......»»
CRONT: Empowering optical tweezers with "biometric eyes"
Optothermal nanotweezers, an innovative optical manipulation technique over the past decade, have revolutionized classical optical manipulation by efficiently capturing a broader spectrum of nanoparticles. While this technique has been primarily used.....»»
Better capturing the effect of aerosol particles on clouds and the climate
The extent to which aerosol particles affect the climate depends on how much water the particles can hold in the atmosphere. The capacity to hold water is referred to as hygroscopicity (K) and, in turn, depends on further factors—particularly the s.....»»
Research provides new methods to improve capture rates of ground-dwelling arthropods using pitfall trapping
Pitfall traps are commonly used for capturing ground-dwelling arthropods, particularly beetles, ants, and spiders. The efficiency of a pitfall trapping system is significantly influenced by the quantity and size of traps, the spatial distribution of.....»»
Paris exhibition celebrates iPhone 15 Pro Max"s role in capturing memories
Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max stars in "I Remember You" exhibition, featuring works by five artists exploring nostalgia and technology, showcasing the device's ability to capture life's fleeting moments.Works by M. Fezehai, M. Ninagawa | Image Credit: Ap.....»»
Bacteria found in desert pave the way for paint that produces oxygen while capturing carbon
An innovative paint that contains oxygen-producing bacteria capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) has been created by scientists from the University of Surrey. Researchers suggest this paint, known as a "biocoating," could be used in extreme envi.....»»
Abandoned Farms Are a Hidden Resource for Restoring Biodiversity
A billion acres of old farmland—an area half the size of Australia—has fallen out of use. Ecologists say the lands and degraded forests are neglected resources for rewilding and for capturing carbon......»»
Capturing carbon dioxide with electricity: A microbial enzyme inspires electrochemistry
Humans continuously emits greenhouse gases, worsening global warming. For example, carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulates dramatically over the years and is chemically very stable. Yet, some microbes capture CO2 using highly efficient enzymes. Scientists f.....»»
Researchers develop minimal nanozymes with carbon dioxide capture capacity
Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) researchers have developed minimal nanozymes with the capacity of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted in industrial processes—and applicable to other environmental remediation processes—based on artific.....»»
