Arf! I'm Tony Bark. Artist and writer by day. Programmer by night. Gamer all the way.
Most of the reoccurring outlets I cite have an RSS feed that I subscribe to. Research is sourced from Science Daily.
Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results from the LAMOST spectral survey, and machine learning. Dust makes distant astronomical objects appear m...
This feels like a "you're holding it wrong" moment.
Really, really shows how weak Trump is.
Bubble burst, when?
The former employee disrupted Microsoft’s 50th-anniversary event.
Why an overreliance on AI-driven modelling is bad for science
Well, yeah, but that's mostly in the more playful hacker kind of way. This is literately just wolf in sheep's clothing.
With photo sensors from simple smartphones, researchers at CERN can record antimatter reactions in real time and with unprecedented resolution.
Scientists working together in the “Antihydrogen Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy” (AEgIS) and other experiments at CERN’s Antimatter Factory, such ALPHA and GBAR, are on a mission to measure the free-fall of antihydrogen under Earth's gravity with high precision, each using a different technique. AEgIS’s approach involves producing a horizontal beam of antihydrogen and measuring its vertical displacement using a device called a moiré deflectometer that reveals tiny deviations in motion and a detector that records the antihydrogen annihilation points.
Whether due to drought, prices, or politics, the weekslong disappearance of Canadian hydropower from New England’s grid exposes risks for the region.
Researchers improve chemical reaction that underpins products from foods to fuels
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A chemical reaction that’s vital to a range of commercial and industrial goods may soon be initiated more effectively and less expensively thanks to a collaboration that included Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers. The study, published in Nature, involves hy...
Surprised it went with that thumbnail.
An antiviral chewing gum to reduce influenza and herpes simplex virus transmission
Researchers at Penn Dental Medicine and collaborators have used a clinical-grade antiviral chewing gum to substantially reduce viral loads of two herpes simplex viruses and two influenza A strains in experimental models.
Mechanistic understanding could enable better fast-charging batteries
Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, powering everything from cellphones and laptops to electric vehicles. They’re also notorious for overheating or catching fire. Now, with a groundbreaking computational model, a University...
Never thought I'd see "Hackathon" used unironically.
Novel genomic screening tool enables precision reverse-engineering of genetic programming in cells
Collaborative research led by investigators at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription factors determine which genetic programs will drive cell growth and maturation. The method, called “Pertu...
The researchers showed the emergence of interaction between electronic excitations (excitons – electron hole pairs) mediated via spin waves in atomically thin (2D) magnets. They demonstrated that the excitons can interact indirectly through magnons (spin waves), which are like ripples or waves in the 2D material’s magnetic structure.
A research team from TU Graz and the Vellore Institute of Technology in India is developing a 3D-printed skin imitation equipped with living cells in order to test nanoparticles from cosmetics without animal testing.
This article showed up in my Science Daily feed and I had debated to cue it up but I was, like, "nah..." xD
They made the frogs gay.
We already got a good peak of that back at Wisconsin.
In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonisation of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning point in the antibiotics crisis.
It's not what you say. It's what you do.
I'm not the one who made their whole identity about conservatism. Normally that'd be fine, don't get me wrong, but you seem to see yourself as superior to everyone else here for that very reason.
People can see your profile and down vote you for reasons other than politics. To assume only politics would mean you purposely choose that display name to start a fight.
People can see my history, too. But I don't assume people down vote me because of my politics.
Dude, people can see your history.
No I’m not. Even other people are asking why you all are downvoting. lol
You're just making baseless assumptions and accusations about people you know nothing about. Which is good enough reason right there for them to down vote you.
so they follow me around to downvote everything I post.
You're giving yourself way too much credit.
It's just an example.
MIT researchers developed a manufacturing technique that rapidly generates large quantities of nanoparticles coated with drug-delivering polymers, which hold great potential for treating cancer. The particles can be targeted directly to tumors, where they release their payload while avoiding many of...
If this is simply "making an example of", than I assume this might be the base price.
The agency is finally moving on getting gridlocked money to farmers. But at what cost?
Researchers recycle wind turbine blade materials to make improved plastics
A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed Washington State University researchers to re-purpose the materials to create stronger plastics.
In an internal FEMA memorandum obtained by Grist, the Trump administration announced it plans to dismantle the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program.
An international team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an exotic structure expected to provide insights that could lead to new materials at the core of quantum computing.
Researchers explore using soil for heat storage
Researchers at KTU have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy storage system.
Man Who Bankrupts Casinos Really Showing the World a Thing or Two About How To Do Business
In what has been described as “a massive fucking surprise”, a man who has run six companies into bankruptcy and wasn’t even able to make money out of A CASINO, has absolutely no idea what he is doing while in charge of the world’s largest economy.
A new analysis of a vaccination program in Wales found that the shingles vaccine appeared to lower new dementia diagnoses by 20% — more than any other known intervention.
