Could fiber optic cable help scientists probe the deep layers of the moon?
An increasing number of seismologists are using fiber optic cables to detect seismic waves on Earth—but how would this technology fare on the moon, and what would it tell us about the deep layers of our nearest neighbor in space?.....»»
Lake bottom testing shows plastics migrating down into sediment layers
A team of environmentalists, geographers and ecologists affiliated with several institutions in Europe has found that microplastics have migrated into multiple sediment layers in three lakes in Latvia. In their study, published in the journal Science.....»»
Researchers harness 2D magnetic materials for energy-efficient computing
Experimental computer memories and processors built from magnetic materials use far less energy than traditional silicon-based devices. Two-dimensional magnetic materials, composed of layers that are only a few atoms thick, have incredible properties.....»»
Study finds oxygen rise in the tropical upper ocean during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Oxygen is fundamental to sustaining life on Earth. The ocean gets its oxygen from its uppermost layers in contact with the atmosphere. As our planet continues to warm, the ocean is gradually losing its capacity to absorb oxygen, with severe consequen.....»»
Dark matter might help explain how supermassive black holes can merge
Although the exact nature of dark matter continues to elude astronomers, we have gained some understanding of its general physical properties. We know how it clusters around galaxies, how it makes up much of the matter in the universe, and even how i.....»»
Why Venus died
Venus is only slightly smaller than the Earth, and so has enjoyed billions of years of a warm heart. But for this planet, sometimes called Earth's sister, that heat has betrayed it. That planet is now wrapped in suffocating layers of a poisonous atmo.....»»
HBO Max to become ‘Max’ in Latin American countries next month
HBO Max last year was rebranded to just “Max” following the platform’s merge with Discovery+. While the rebrand was first launched exclusively in the U.S., Warner (which owns the streaming platform) is set to turn HBO Max into just Max in Latin.....»»
Mars Express finds evidence of large water deposit at the Medusae Fossae Formation
Windswept piles of dust, or layers of ice? ESA's Mars Express has revisited one of Mars's most mysterious features to clarify its composition. Its findings suggest layers of water ice stretching several kilometers below ground—the most water ever f.....»»
Figma’s Creator Micro made me a macro pad person with its colorful, clicky keys
Besides being a fun tool, this pad's layers work great for OS-switching. Enlarge / It's coded for designers, quite literally, but the Figma Creator Micro is just a rebranded version of the stock Creator Micro from Work Louder. It.....»»
Mating anchovies stir up the sea as much as a major storm—and it"s good for the environment, too
Why would oceanographers ever care about anchovies having sex? We do because these small fish can help mix different layers of the ocean when they mate. This circulates nutrients, oxygen, and greenhouse gases around different layers of the ocean, the.....»»
Report: Google, Samsung Join Forces to Merge Nearby Share and Quick Share
Google has Nearby Share, its native P2P file sharing service for the Android ecosystem. Samsung has Quick Share, its own file sharing service, but made specifically for Samsung devices. In a weird twist of fate, it’s getting reported that Googl.....»»
Inside the matrix: Nanoscale patterns revealed within model research organism
Species throughout the animal kingdom feature vital interfaces between the outermost layers of their bodies and the environment. Intricate microscopic structures—featured on the outer skin layers of humans, as one example—are known to assemble in.....»»
A novel sandwich-structured composite from biopolymers for building envelope applications
A new sandwich-structured composite has been developed from the surface layers of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and the interlayer of polylactic acid and cellulose microfibers. The biodegradable cellulose microfibers can be modified chemically with a so.....»»
The new Pixelmator Pro update enables a full HDR image editing workflow
The new Pixelmator Pro update, version 3.5, brings full support for HDR image content. With the new Pixelmator, users can shoot HDR photos on their iPhone, edit with HDR layers inside Pixelmator Pro and then export into a variety of standard HDR imag.....»»
Research shows how important protein keeps our cell membranes in balance
Lipids are the main constituents of our cell membranes, which are formed as lipid bilayers. The distribution of lipids is far from uniform; it is asymmetric, with different lipid compositions in the outside and inside layers. This asymmetry is essent.....»»
Vera Rubin Observatory will find binary supermassive black holes: Here"s how
When galaxies merge, we expect them to produce binary black holes (BBHs.) BBHs orbit one another closely, and when they merge, they produce gravitational waves that have been detected by LIGO-Virgo. The upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory should be able.....»»
Dark matter could help solve the final parsec problem of black holes
When galaxies collide, their supermassive black holes enter into a gravitational dance, gradually orbiting each other ever closer until eventually merging. We know they merge because we see the gravitational beasts that result, and we have detected t.....»»
Join the hunt for the ancient capital of Kush on Lost Cities Revealed with Albert Lin
