This Unique Plant Turns Carnivorous When The Mood Strikes

➖ @sciencetoall ➖

A trickle of studies warning that the enormous variety of living things on Earth is diminishing has turned into a flood. The evidence for these losses within regions and globally is undeniable. But data on biodiversity, and what is causing its decline, is still patchy – restricted to some causes, some places and some species. That isn’t the case for birds in Europe, however.

Europe has lost over half a billion birds in 40 years. The single biggest cause? Pesticides and fertiliserst

Scientists have successfully detected the X-ray signature of a single atom for the first time. Using a pioneering technique known as synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy (SX-STM), the team was able to identify and characterize individual atoms, opening new possibilities in environmental, medical, and quantum research.

Scientists have successfully designed the world’s first 2D microchip using synthetic materials.

A scientist says spending 93 days underwater has turned back the aging clock and left him 10 years younger.

A few interesting details about how the Apple Vision Pro glasses work.

- In virtual reality, you can: type on the keyboard, draw with a stylus, swipe, and "pick up" objects.

- Still, a few journalists were allowed to test the Vision Pro. According to them, the virtual reality picture is really stunning and you can really look at the "real world" without any difficulty. A journalist from The Verge says he was able to write a note on his phone without taking off his glasses. Of the minuses: with peripheral vision, you can see black areas that don't cover the glasses.

Sand in a desert dune demonstrating a similar type of landslide called retrogressive where failure forms at the bottom, progressing up a slope. Due to the absence of cohesion and shape of the grains, this phenomenon is possible in sands.

Sensitive clays are known for producing retrogressive landslides, also called spread or flowslides. The key characteristics associated with the occurrence of these landslides on a sensitive clay slope must be evaluated, and the potential retrogressive distance must be evaluated.

Retrogressive landslides in sensitive clays often occur following a single major perturbation, such as an earthquake, or they may occur after a large number of annual load cycles at a geological time scale, with the final trigger related to a minor and seemingly innocuous perturbation. These failure events can therefore occur without any obvious warning signs. The potential retrogressive distance of these landslides can also reach values much greater than 100 m. This uncertainty in their behavior emphasizes the importance of determining where these landslides can occur.

The American company Migo Robotics has developed a robot vacuum cleaner that can walk on steps. The Ascender vacuum cleaner was created by a team of engineers from Google, Boston Dynamics, Dyson, and Ecovacs.

A pair of articulated legs lifts the body of the robot up the steps as it moves up the stairs. In doing so, the Ascender continues to clean. The assistant is also equipped with omnidirectional wheels for moving on a flat surface.

And Migo Robotics used LiDAR to map the room and track the cleaning route.

Well, well, well… all progressive Dutch students are already in China… who will go to Dutch universities in 2023?????! What for????!

Solid-state batteries have a lot of promise. Unlike current lithium-ion batteries, solid-state ones don't contain flammable liquids, which are a major drawback as illustrated by stories of laptops and electric cars bursting into flames. Solid-state batteries are also less toxic, have higher energy densities, charge faster, and survive more recharge cycles without degenerating.

Why manufacture in space? Well, when you're operating in zero gravity – or at least, in the microgravity environment of orbit – you're altering a very significant physical variable that's pretty much a constant for any Earth-based lab.

Recreating the musculature of the leg and pelvis, the imagery supports the supposition that this part-time tree-dwelling hominin walked completely erect, like humans, but more than three million years earlier.

Scientists discover salt in asteroid, indicating presence of water on Earth

Scientists have discovered salt in an asteroid, which indicates the presence of water on Earth. The discovery could help explain how water arrived on our planet. According to the researchers, the salt was found in a sample of the Itokawa asteroid, which visited Earth in 2003. The findings suggest that the asteroid could have been a source of water on Earth. This discovery could have significant implications for our understanding of the origins of life on our planet.

eVTOLs and delivery drones promise to bring large numbers of aircraft closer than ever before to urban life. Most people find today's drones annoyingly loud and wouldn't want them whirring overhead on a daily basis, and Whisper has raised some US$40 million and bagged some military grants on the basis that this company is building the quietest electric propulsion systems on the planet.

GPS uses a network of a few dozen satellites in precise orbits around Earth, and receivers in devices like phones are constantly listening out for signals from those satellites. The devices can work out how far they are from any detected GPS satellite, and when they pick up signals from at least four of them, the device can determine its relative position on the ground to within a few meters.
And now Scientists have demonstrated a proof-of-concept for a new navigation system that can work underground and underwater by tracking particles from cosmic rays
