We’ve all heard stories of the dangers of 3D printing, with fires from runaway hot ends or dodgy heated build plates being the main hazards. But what about the particulates? …read more Continue reading New Study Looks at the Potential Carcinogenicity of 3D Printing
Most of us will probably be able to recall at least vaguely that a molecule called ATP is essential for making our bodies move, but this molecule is only a …read more Continue reading The Biological Motors That Power Our Bodies
Physicist John Archibald Wheeler made groundbreaking contributions to physics, and [Amanda Gefter] has a fantastic writeup about the man. He was undeniably brilliant, and if you haven’t heard of him, …read more Continue reading Remembering John Wheeler: You’ve Definitely Heard of His Work
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ScienceAlert: Imagine three people huddled in a circle so when one speaks, only one other hears. Scientists have created a device that works like that, ensuring sound waves ripple in one direction only. The devi… Continue reading Physicists Generated Sound Waves That Travel In One Direction Only
The oldest human on record, Jeanne Calment of France, lived to the age of 122. What are the odds that the rest of us get there, too? Not high, barring a transformative medical breakthrough, according to research published this week in the journal Natur… Continue reading Have We Reached Peak Human Life Span?
Keeping the United States’ nuclear arsenal ready for use is an ongoing process, one which is necessarily shrouded in complete secrecy. In an article by The War Zone these developments and …read more Continue reading The US’s New Nuclear Weapons, Mysterious Fogbanks and Inertial Confinement Fusion
Wastewater sampling has become a popular way over the years to keep track of the health of a population, including human ones, as pathogens are often detectable in the effluence …read more Continue reading On-Site Viral RNA Detection in Wastewater With Paper and Wax Microfluidics
Cutting calorie intake can lead to a leaner body — and a longer life, an effect often chalked up to the weight loss and metabolic changes caused by consuming less food. Now, one of the biggest studies of dietary restrictions ever conducted in laborato… Continue reading Eating Less Can Lead To a Longer Life: Massive Study in Mice Shows Why
Three scientists won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their groundbreaking work in predicting and designing protein structures, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced in Stockholm. David Baker of the University of Washington … Continue reading Google DeepMind Scientists Win Nobel Chemistry Prize for Work on Proteins
Orbital mechanics is a fun subject, as it involves a lot of seemingly empty space that’s nevertheless full of very real forces, all of which must be taken into account …read more Continue reading Lagrange Points and Why You Want to Get Stuck At Them
