New Zealand’s kauri dieback is quietly rewriting forest carbon storage

Bleeding resin (“kauri gum”) associated with collar-rot of lower trunk. The advancing lesion will spread laterally, eventually girdling the tree.

New modelling shows kauri dieback is turning some of New Zealand’s carbon-dense forests from vital climate sinks into long-term sources of emissions.

Statistical parameter maps (SPMs) representing interaction between group (people with and without misophonia) and sound type (including whether sounds were misophonia trigger sounds) in BOLD responses to hearing sounds

Misophonia turns ordinary noises into fight-or-flight triggers. Here’s how science explains it, how it affects everyday geek life, and what helps.

A new supercomputer simulation suggests the Milky Way was once a chaotic swarm of thousands of tiny galaxies, reshaping how we picture our home’s cosmic origin.

The file demonstrates the way of thinking of the entropic gravity, holographic principle, entropy distribution, and derivation of Einstein GR equations from these considerations

From Kubrick’s spinning wheel to NASA test rigs, scientists say practical artificial gravity may arrive via short-radius centrifuges before giant ring stations.

Packaging chips made by bioplastics (Thermoplastic Starch)

Murdoch University’s Bioplastics Innovation Hub is using AI to mine millions of natural enzymes for new plastic- and toxin-busting bioremediation tools.

SpaceX’s Crew-13 mission has launched four astronauts from NASA, Canada and Russia to the ISS for a six-month science push in orbit with live coverage.

Chimpanzee at Kibale forest National Park

A new UC Berkeley study finds chimpanzees are less likely to steal pineapple from close friends, reshaping how scientists think about primate morality.

Ames crater LC08 CU 015012 20211031 20211113 02

New dating of Oklahoma’s buried Ames impact crater shifts the meteor strike 100M years younger, tying the impact to a major Late Devonian extinction.

New OECD best-practice guidance co-written at ANSTO explains how to track titanium dioxide nanoparticles inside the human body and how long they persist.

Wellness influencers and biohackers are pushing nicotine pouches and patches as focus and longevity hacks, despite experts warning of addiction and serious health risks.
