There aren’t many things that keep me in line these days, but one thing is color. For example, walls, in a house. I’m still in a pain-induced painting phase, just like my grandmother was once in a grief-induced curtain phase, because changing the look of the house is something that is at least somewhat productive….
Abstract Debaratania gen. nov. is described in Thailand, with Debaratania bellula sp. nov. designated as type species. The new genus is characterized by its colorful forewing pattern, sexual dimorphism in forewing and hindwing shape, and distinctive venation of the male hindwings, where M3 and CuA1 have short peduncles both proximally and distally, with three distinct…
Specific literature searches are a fundamental part of writing clinical manuscripts that meet the standards of high-quality journals and contribute significantly to evidence-based practice. When clinicians write clinical manuscripts, using a targeted literature search can identify current, relevant, high-quality evidence. While a general literature review is useful, a targeted literature search is specific to the…
Teams working at the intersection of science, design and data could earn up to £25,000 for new technology ideas Tuesday August 19, 2025 Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, today launches its 2025 Catalyst Grant round to support innovative technology ideas. Now in its fifteenth year, the theme of the…
Instead of encouraging smoking cessation and harm reduction, the US Centers for Disease Control has spent more than a decade undermining products other than Big Pharma. That has been and continues to be a mistake. Smoking kills, and anything that helps reduce or eliminate it, from patches to gum, vaping to hypnosis, should be available….
This week, the US government issued its first report Company fined for leaving space junk in space. Why is space debris a problem? The space is a pretty big place. The problem is that even a small piece of space junk left behind can cause massive damage if it collides with a spacecraft or another…
Fountain: Geophysical Research Journal: Solid Earth Magnetotelluric (MT) data, which contain measurements of electric and magnetic field variations at the Earth’s surface, provide information about the electrical resistivity of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. Changes in resistivityor the ability to conduct an electric current, may indicate the presence of geological features such as igneous…
Credit: ZME Science/Midjourney. When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to withstand pressures tens of thousands of times greater than Earth’s atmosphere, something unexpected happened. The liquid solidified at room temperature, not into any known form of ice, but into a new crystalline phase. This never-before-seen structure, called ice XXI, was discovered…
The world record warm temperature may have been measured incorrectly. In 1913, a temperature of 134°F (56.7°C) was reported in Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California, still ranks as the highest air temperature ever recorded on Earth. But this new study by our friends Dr. John Christy and Dr. Roy Spencer argues that the famous…
We are deeply alarmed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to reverse its long-standing greenhouse gas hazard determination. This action undermines decades of rigorous scientific research showing that carbon dioxide, methane and other emissions pose a clear threat to human health and well-being. AGU strongly supports the global scientific community: the weight of the evidence…
