The modern world is filled with synthetic polymers, long-chained molecules designed by scientists to fill all manner of applications. Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed two closely related polymers that respond differently to high and low temperature thresholds, despite their similar design. The polymer pair could be used in applications in medicine, protein synthesis, protective coatings and other fields. Their work is published in Macromolecules. “Typically, in order to have one thermal behavior, we have to prepare a polymer for that specific application, and if you want to have another extreme of polymer behavior, then you have to…

One of my favorite things about science is how a very simple question can lead you down a rabbit hole. Here’s one for you: What color is the sun? Most people, I’d wager, would say yellow. You probably pictured it as yellow in your head when you thought of it just now. Not too long ago, a conspiracy theory hit social media when a person tweeted that she remembered the sun being yellow when she was younger but that it was now white. (She also claimed it was oddly shaped in her photograph—which was likely caused by the image being…

Eighty-four percent of the brands that researchers studied share or sell this kind of personal data, and only two of them allow drivers to have their data deleted. While it is unclear exactly who these companies share or sell data to, the report points out that there is a huge market for driver data. An automotive data broker called High Mobility cited in the report has a partnership with nine of the car brands Mozilla studied. On its website, it advertises a wide range of data products—including precise location data.This isn’t just a privacy nightmare but a security one. Volkswagen,…
SSRL’s X-ray facilities and transition edge sensor reveal information about the nanodiamond hidden below a silica coating. Irradiated electrons escape from the nanodiamond’s surface, travel through the silica and are collected as signals. The thicker the coating, the fewer electrons make it to the surface. Understanding the chemistry of silica coatings will help researchers optimize silica shells and try other materials as coatings, expanding nanodiamonds’ applications in quantum computing and biolabeling. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Coating something rare—tiny shards of diamond—with the main ingredient in sand might sound unusual, but the end result turns out to have a…

Okay, so jeans will probably remain a firm fixture in my wardrobe this summer, but after months of wearing little else, I’m more than ready to shake up my style a bit. And it would appear I’m not the only one who feels that way. If last year was the year of the tailored trouser, then 2023 is absolutely the year of the skirt—I needed only to look to my Instagram feed for proof. Right now, skirts are a recurring theme on the platform, with many of my favourite dressers beginning to embrace the warm, early days of summer with some truly…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s image of Herbig-Haro 211ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, Tom Ray This newborn star is blasting out a pair of extraordinary jets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured this image of a Herbig-Haro object, which forms when a young star spews powerful winds that smash into surrounding gas and dust at supersonic speeds. The object, called Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), is located about 1000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus. This makes it one of the nearest Herbig-Haro objects we know of. The new image is far more detailed than any that astronomers have…

But every day, far more Wordle players solve the puzzle on their first turn than would be expected by chance, says James Dilger … Read The Full Article Here

Wow, talk about being prolific! “That was not planned,” Goldberg laughed when we asked him about his busy publishing schedule. “It just worked out that way. I have three books coming out within eight weeks of each other.”…

Tangled microplastic fibres from clothing, seen with an electron microscope in false colourSTEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Microplastics may float higher in Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought, posing a risk that they might release chemicals that damage the ozone layer. Small fragments of plastic can travel long distances on air currents, settling in remote locations, but there isn’t good data on just how far they can move. Most simulations assume that the microplastics are small spheres, but they can actually take a variety of irregular shapes, from kinked fibres to tangled complexes with … Read The Full Article Here
