A startup says it's begun releasing particles into the atmosphere, in an effort to tweak the climate
Iseman, previously a director of hardware at Y Combinator, says he expects to be pilloried by both geoengineering critics and researchers in the field for taking such a step, and he recognizes that "making me look like the Bond villain is going to be helpful to certain groups." But he says climate change is such a grave threat, and the world has moved so slowly to address the underlying problem, that more radical interventions are now required.
The Avatar Sequel's Worst Character Actually Does the Film a Service
This story contains major spoilers for the film Avatar: The Way of Water. Avatar: The Way of Water , like any good world-building sequel, introduces a deluge of new elements to its extraterrestrial setting of Pandora.

Is there any research on increasing height naturally after puberty?
Based on my understanding height stops growing cause our bones fuse and growth hormones stop. But is someone working on a way to restart the growth hormone naturally and grow the height/ defuse bones? submitted by /u/obergrupenfuer_smith [link] [comments]

Dinosaurs were in their prime, not in decline, when fateful asteroid hit
Paleontologists agree that a massive asteroid strike triggered the end of the dinosaurs, but a debate has persisted over the reptiles' overall state at the time of the fateful collision.

Svalbard reindeer thrive as they shift diet towards 'popsicle-like' grasses
Increased plant growth due to warmer climate appears to be prompting change in eating habits As the Arctic warms, concern for the plight of Santa's favourite sleigh pullers is mounting. But in one small corner of the far flung north – Svalbard – Rudolph and his friends are thriving. Warmer temperatures are boosting plant growth and giving Svalbard reindeer more time to build up fat reserves; they
What will cheap available AI-generated images lead to? Video? Media? Entertainment?

To my surprise I don't miss neurosurgery now I've retired, but still find joy in making things for my grandchildren The pictures on my iPhone photo roll for the past two years are mainly of my granddaughters and, more recently, of my newborn grandson, interspersed with destroyed and rusty Russian tanks in Ukraine, where I went this year, having regularly travelled to teach surgery therefor 30 yea
Long Covid patients using unproven and expensive treatments, experts warn
Lack of approved therapies and need to work means people are turning to options such as 'blood washing' People with long Covid are turning to unproven and expensive treatments because of a lack of approved therapies coupled with a need to return to paid work, experts have warned.

Can geoengineering fix the climate? Hundreds of scientists say not so fast
The Biden administration is developing a controversial solar geoengineering research plan to the dismay of many experts As global heating escalates, the US government has set out a plan to further study the controversial and seemingly sci-fi notion of deflecting the sun's rays before they hit Earth. But a growing group of scientists denounces any steps towards what is known as solar geoengineerin
How to make a radio transmitter transmitting a signal to 1 km?
Hello everyone! I am currently working on transmitter that should transmit signal to 1 km. How can I make it? I do not have expertise in this, could you recommend easiest and cheapest way to make this transmitter? The transmitter must be omnidirectional and work without wi-fi or GPS connection. That is, the signal from the transmitter must be received by all receivers at a given frequency. The fr
How far before we can change our physical appearance by genetic modification?
I don't even know if this is a real science… but I'm thinking some genome modification that will change our physical features like making us taller or slimmer or good looking etc Is there any research at all in this field? Would we see anything amazing in the next 10-20 years? submitted by /u/obergrupenfuer_smith [link] [comments]
Aptamer: the York biotech working on precision cancer treatments
UK firm links with up global drug firms to make synthetic antibodies capable of binding to targets such as tumour cells Inside a science park lab next to the University of York, two clusters of robots are busy moving clear plates with mechanical arms as they screen many millions of molecules. The machines need only 24 hours to complete work that would usually take teams of human scientists severa
Every morning my brown terrier, Hans, comes to wake me in the dark. As he jumps around impatiently, hurrying me up for a morning walk, I glance at my light switch's electricity indicator. If it shines blue, I am lucky: The electricity is back. I can brush my teeth using tap water before the walk. But if the blue indicator is off, that means no water, no light, and no central heating. On those day
Hopefully this isn't horribly apparent, but this piece was a slog to write. It required overcoming my professional disposition, resisting my cognitive wiring, and drying out from a certain website that I used to fiendishly inhale. For a long moment in global politics, the planet seemed to be hurtling toward authoritarianism. It was terrifying, but I found myself strangely suited for apocalyptic t
JWST captured the most thrilling and inspiring space images of 2022

Will artificial meat replace real meat someday? Will the environment be substantially improved if it does?
Artificial meat seems to have a really bright future. This company produces 3D-printed beefsteak which tastes really good and it's already served in restaurants. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/redefine-meat-strikes-partnership-boost-3d-printed-meat-sales-europe-2022-10-13/ The price will likely fall while the real meat price will keep rising as it has been rising for many years.

'A second front': fight to save 1,000-year-old caves from developers in Ukraine
Archaeologists say cave complex must be preserved for 'indisputable and cultural value' Dmytro Perov was at his day job, analysing planning applications for Kyiv city council, when he saw a familiar address – the derelict house in central Kyiv built by his family in the late 1800s that was confiscated by the Bolsheviks. The owners of the site now wanted to build on it and had made the unlikely cl
What explains the dichotomy between "left brain" and "right brain" thinking?
Cross-posted from r/askpsychology The terms "left brain" and "right brain" are (outdated) terms for different types of thinking patterns: the former involving logic, analysis, math, and the latter involving intuition, synthesis, and arts. From my understanding of neuroscience, "left brain" and "right brain" are misleading terms and these types of thinking are not localized to a certain hemisphere

Beginner nuclear fusion idea – tell me why it does not work
As I understand, one method we try to do fusion is by holding the plasma in a magnetic field. The reason is there is no material to withstand the heat. Now my simple idea: why do we not keep the plasma moving in an ordered, infinitly long path by keeping in moving along a ring, directing it with magnets. My intuition tells me adjusting direction of a „projectile" should be easier than „reflecting
