Snakes evolve a magnetic way to be resistant to venom
Certain snakes have evolved a unique genetic trick to avoid being eaten by venomous snakes, according to University of Queensland research......»»
Turbulent solar wind originates in the sun"s corona, study shows
Solar wind is a never-ending stream of charged particles coming from the sun. Rather than a constant breeze, this wind is rather gusty. As solar wind particles travel through space, they interact with the sun's variable magnetic field, creating chaot.....»»
New method enables noninvasive plant magnetic resonance imaging
The "omics" technologies—genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—are at the forefront of discovery in modern plant science and systems biology. In contrast to the rather static genome, however, the metabolome and the products meas.....»»
Naked mole-rat found to have lost infection-resistant proteins
Scientists have found that the naked mole-rat—an underground rodent that lives up to 40 years—has lost a number of CD1 functional genes. The CD1 gene family in mammals is responsible for protein synthesis that protects the body against infectious.....»»
Astronaut’s stunning photo shows ‘flowing silver snakes’
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station has captured some stunning images of Earth showing 'flowing silver snakes' and 'glowing golden claws.'.....»»
Graphene spike mat uses ordinary fridge magnet tech to fight antibiotic resistance
With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties—and thus no way to make use of graphen.....»»
A magnetic halo in the Milky Way: New discoveries about galactic outflows
A new study led by the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), and with contributions from Radboud University's Marijke Haverkorn, has unveiled significant insights into the Milky Way: a magnetized galactic halo......»»
Magnetic micro spinbots can perform ultraprecise surface polishing and cleaning
A research team has unveiled an innovative technology for ultraprecision surface polishing and cleaning using simultaneously operating magnetic micro spinbots. These tiny robots, capable of nanometer-scale contaminant removal and polishing, offer a l.....»»
Plants could still grow well under alien skies
Photosynthesis changed Earth in powerful ways. When photosynthetic organisms appeared, it led to the Great Oxygenation Event. That allowed multicellular life to evolve and resulted in the ozone layer. Life could venture onto land, protected from the.....»»
New technique zeros in on the genes that snakes use to produce venom
Only about 10% of the world's roughly 4,000 snake species have venom strong enough to seriously hurt a human, but that's enough for snake bites to be an important public health concern. To help better understand how snakes make their venom and how ve.....»»
Scientists identify 18 bacterial strains to treat antibiotic-resistant gut infections
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections often occur in patients with chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, and in patients who have taken antibiotics for a long time. Gram-negative bacteria such as Enteroba.....»»
Primates bond for their own benefit: Study underlines the decisive role that females play
Female and male primates often form close bonds, but not purely out of affection. Close relationships usually evolve when there is a clear benefit for both parties, with protection and reproductive control playing key roles......»»
MagSafe Monday: The UGREEN Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger delivers fast charging for iPhone with a whimsical display
If your desk (or nightstand) is a chaotic mess of charging cables and devices all vying to be charged, you might want to check out . Juggling multiple cords to keep everything charged gets old quickly, so when I came across the UGREEN Uno 2-in-1 Magn.....»»
Energy-saving computing with magnetic whirls
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have managed to enhance the framework of Brownian reservoir computing by recording and transferring hand gestures to the system that then used skyrmions to detect these individual gestures......»»
Final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance introduces Knull, god of symbiotes
"This world can't survive if you stay together." Tom Hardy returns for one more round as host of an alien symbiote, in Venom: The Last Dance. Tom Hardy is back for one last hurrah as investigative journalist Eddie Brock, host of an.....»»
A fundamental magnetic property of the muon measured to unprecedented precision
Scientists have measured the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision, more than doubling the previous record......»»
How to prepare to preorder iPhone 16 (+ Torras Magnetic Ostand 360 Spin Case)
If you’re planning on picking up a new iPhone 16 model during pre-order day, the key is to have the smoothest and quickest checkout experience possible. With a ton of Apple users ordering at the same time tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. PDT (Sept. 1.....»»
Researchers solve long-standing mystery of alumina surface structure
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), also known as alumina, corundum, sapphire, or ruby, is one of the best insulators used in a wide range of applications: in electronic components, as a support material for catalysts, or as a chemically resistant ceramic, to na.....»»
Eddie squares off against Knull in the final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance
In the final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock may have finally met his match with the arrival of Knull......»»
NASA"s EZIE mission set for 2025 launch
In 2025, NASA will launch its first mission to image the magnetic fingerprint of intense electrical currents that flow high in our atmosphere when auroras shimmer above Earth's poles......»»
Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope produces its first magnetic field maps of the sun"s corona
