Students submitted specific work samples from an OpenSciEd unit to One8’s Student Industry Connects Showcase. The work that was submitted was reviewed by industry professionals and these hard-working students were recently selected as winners for their project. “I’m going to get choked up. I’m really, really proud of them. They are really great kids,” Mayo said.

bumblebees are vital creatures of nature as they facilitate pollination. They have a lifespan of one year, so unlike honey bees, they don't make and store honey for the winter. This study was conducted by Nature to get answers to two questions. The first step involved removing a blue tab and pushing the red tab around to get to the yellow target.

The detailed report included updated scientific research on endocrine-disrupting properties of various substances. These chemicals impair our hormones' natural functioning, affecting our metabolism, immune system, fertility, and more. Over 24% of human diseases are caused by environmental factors such as EDC exposure, and these factors contribute to 80% of the most life-threatening illnesses.

A decade of intervening research has shown us that people with an older DNA age, known more correctly as an ‘epigenetic age’, tend to get ill and die sooner than others. It’s a scientific discovery that demonstrates what many of us have believed all along: people age at different rates – from damage to the proteins that keep our bodies working, to diseases like cancer, heart disease and dementia, all of which become radically more likely.

A Chinese tit ("Parus minor'), in a Japanese forest near Yokohama (Japan), February 2020. Here we see these birds take it in turns to soar, twirl, land, peck, fly off again, turn on a wing, swoop and bustle about, beaks laden with twigs to build the nest, or weighted down with caterpillars to feed the young. This is suggested by the discovery

We have to remember that this is the worst AI is going to be. We’re watching the Wright Brothers stutter into the air from a grass field, bumping off the turf like a pregnant duck. The GNoMe (graph networks for materials exploration) project from Google Research has already discovered 2.2 million new crystalline materials using advanced machine learning. It’s not hard to imagine a future with a factory full of similar robots.

The Cool Down by Jeremiah Budin New report uncovers remarkable impact of controversial plastic bag bans. New Jersey's ban, enacted in 2022, was found to be the most effective, eliminating nearly 300 single-use plastic bags per person annually. This innovative development harnesses natural body motion to release an anti-inflammatory molecule called anakinra from microcapsules, causing drivers to slow and increase travel time.
