Instead that slogan says less about what the company does and more about why it’s doing it. Helsing’s job adverts brim with idealism, calling for people with a conviction that “democratic values are worth protecting.”Helsing’s three founders speak about Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 as a wake-up call that the whole of Europe needed to be ready to respond to Russian aggression. “I became increasingly concerned that we are falling behind the key technologies in our open societies,” Reil says. That feeling grew as he watched, in 2018, Google employees protest against a deal with the Pentagon, in which…
Plant geneticists have identified a mutation in a gene that causes the “weeping” architecture — branches growing downwards — in apple trees, a finding that could improve orchard fruit production. For more than a century, growers have tied down apple branches when trees are young, in order to improve crop productivity. More research is needed to understand the mechanism for why branch bending improves yields, but studies have shown that the practice helps apple trees allocate more resources such as carbon and other nutrients toward reproductive growth (flowering and fruiting) than toward vegetative growth (branches and leaves). In rare cases,…

Following the latest One Piece episode that came out, we were given a break from all the serious fighting, and we go back to the occasional silly goofy mood that the series has. One Piece Episode 1071 shows Luffy’s new Gear 5 power, which complements his personality — as seen with him laughing and his eyes popping out while fighting. But what exactly does Luffy’s Gear 5 power do? Here is it fully explained. Luffy’s Gear 5 Explained Luffy’s Gear 5 is part of the awakening of his Devil Fruit, the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit).

In May, NCIS ended its Season 20 finale, “Black Sky,” with quite the cliffhanger: Special Agent Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) pulling his gun not in an official capacity and seemingly threatening to kill a man. The episode saw him undercover in prison as part of an attempt to get more information about an impending terror attack, but the most intriguing part came when he recognized someone from his past: a man (Al Sapienza, who previously appeared in the Season 1 episode “UnSEALeD”) visiting an inmate. That man was the inmate’s mother’s boyfriend, supposedly helping him with his legal problems… but…
Two new species of blind and colorless daddy longlegs spider have been discovered — one in the dry western region of Australia, and one on the lush tropical island of Réunion.Both of the species live in underground habitats, which likely led to their colorless bodies and blindness. And researchers believe that both of these subterranean spiders could tell us an interesting story about the way species evolve and move over time.This study “really highlights why it is that biodiversity discovery matters and how it is that you can find really unusual species in some of the strangest places that you…

We haven’t tried a vacuum yet that we absolutely hate. These ones below are solid vacuums, and in some cases are much cheaper than our top picks, but we didn’t like them as much.Levoit VortexIQ 40 Cordless Stick Vacuum for $230: This used to be our budgetish pick. It’s still a solid vacuum, but stock is becoming limited. With a few passes, it sucked away all the hair, cat litter, and Cheerios I laid out for it. I like its auto mode, which adjusts the power as needed, like when I went over a patch of litter and it jumped…

CLIMATEWIRE | For nearly 400 million years, the world’s oldest moss has survived the shifting landscapes of planet Earth. Takakia, as the genus is known by scientists, has lived through ice ages and mass extinctions, and endured age after age of natural warming and cooling. It outlasted the dinosaurs, and it was there when the first mammals walked the Earth. The moss even survived the violent birth of the Himalayas 50 million years ago, when the then-island of India crashed into Asia and raised the mountains out of the ground. It still grows there today, high on the mountain peaks, in…

One reason books haven’t been particularly disruptable might be that many of the people looking to “fix” things couldn’t actually articulate what was broken—whether through their failure to see the real problems facing the industry (namely, Amazon’s stranglehold), or their insistence that books are not particularly enjoyable as a medium. “It’s that arrogance, to come into a community you know nothing about, that you might have studied as you study for an MBA, and think that you can revolutionize anything,” says writer and longtime book-industry observer Maris Kreizman. “There were so many false problems that tech guys created that we…
The fastest way to heat food and drink might also rank as the fastest route to ingesting massive quantities of minuscule plastic particles, says new research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Experiments have shown that microwaving plastic baby food containers available on the shelves of U.S. stores can release huge numbers of plastic particles — in some cases, more than 2 billion nanoplastics and 4 million microplastics for every square centimeter of container. Though the health effects of consuming micro- and nanoplastics remain unclear, the Nebraska team further found that three-quarters of cultured embryonic kidney cells had died after two…

They conducted research on how cells communicate—and how that matters…

Honeybees can be weakened by the fungal parasite NosemaMark Robert Paton/500px/Getty Images A genetically engineered gut bacterium has helped protect honeybees from a major hive parasite in lab experiments. The bacterium produces RNA molecules that switch off two key genes in the parasite but don’t affect any other organisms. Nosema ceranae is a single-celled fungus that infects cells in honeybees’ guts using a harpoon-like weapon. Infected cells release spores that the bees defecate. Parasite levels typically build up over winters when bad weather keeps honeybees inside hives, and can kill many workers. “It is a really significant parasite,” says Nancy…
