Octopuses and other cephalopods are masters of camouflage, thanks largely to color-changing skin that can help them seemingly vanish into the background. Now, researchers report a big step towards being able to recreate their superpower. A team led by UC San Diego was able to mass-produce a key pigment, xanthommatin, that occurs in the psychedelic skin of many cephalopods. Until …

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated “cosmic fireballs” here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The experiment aimed to investigate the stability of jets of high-temperature gas or plasma blasted at Earth by feeding supermassive black hole-powered galactic engines called blazars. This could, in turn, solve the mystery of hidden magnetic fields and missing high-energy gamma-rays. Scientists from the University …

NEW YORK (AP) — Researchers have unearthed a spooky pair of dinosaur mummies that seem to have been preserved in an unexpected way. These dinosaur remains are different from the wrapped mummies of Egypt or natural human mummies that get accidentally preserved in bogs or deserts. Mummified dinosaurs are so old that their skin and soft tissues fossilize. Scientists use …

New Delhi: Aiming to revive the traditional culture of ‘observational astronomy’, the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) division of the Union Ministry of Education has invited school students, undergraduates, for-profit companies, and trusts to recreate indigenous and traditional astronomical instruments—some of which were mentioned in classical Sanskrit texts. The division, which operates as an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 NASA’s breakthrough in replicating Mars’ spiders unveils insights into the planet’s geological processes. 🧊 Scientists simulated Martian conditions to study the formation of these unique geological structures. 🌞 The process of sublimation explains how sunlight and ice create the spider-like formations. 🔬 Ongoing research aims to uncover the mysteries of Mars’ past and its potential for …

IN A NUTSHELL 🧪 Researchers recreated a chemical reaction in the lab that could explain the origins of life. 🌊 The reaction occurred in conditions mimicking early Earth environments, such as primitive ponds. 🔗 This study shows a natural binding between RNA and amino acids, forming basic protein structures. 🌌 The findings bridge the gap between metabolism and genetics, offering …

An Amazon-backed AI firm is looking to recreate the lost footage of a Hollywood masterpiece. The Hollywood Reporter published a detailed look at the efforts from the firm Showrunner to use generative artificial intelligence to reconstruct the missing 43 minutes — footage that was burned by studio execs — from the 1942 Orson Welles film The Magnificent Ambersons. Wrote the …

Chemists at UCL have shown how two of biology’s most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of life four billion years ago. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, the “workhorses” of life essential to nearly every living process. But proteins cannot replicate or produce themselves — they require …

First reported by Automaton, veteran programmer Koji Sugimoto (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Final Fantasy 10) criticized modern games’ emulation of retro visual glitches, specifically the affine texture warping of the original PlayStation, a frequent feature of lo-fi, throwback indie games. On August 5, Sugimoto responded to a tweet from Unity Japan about a new tool in the engine to let devs …
