Plenty of Bluey, or perhaps reruns of Lassie...
Some Human Gut Bacteria Can Absorb Harmful Toxic "Forever Chemicals" So They Can Be Pooped Out
Some Human Gut Bacteria Can Absorb Harmful Toxic "Forever Chemicals" So They Can Be Pooped OutThere is finally some hopeful news in relation to our struggles with PFAS, or toxic “forever chemicals” as they are often called.

Is NASA's Claim That Saturn Could Float On Water Really True?
Is NASA's Claim That Saturn Could Float On Water Really True?Every now and then, a fact gets passed around the internet that gas giant Saturn would float if you placed it in water. But is it true? For that, we need to know a little about buoyancy, and a little about gas giants.Buoyancy is an upward force in a fluid (any flowing substance, including air) exerted on all bodies within it. The force comes from the pressure within the fluid being greater the further down in the fluid you go. The...

In 1973, NASA Sent Two Spiders Into Space To See If They Can Spin Webs – And They Learnt A Lot
In 1973, NASA Sent Two Spiders Into Space To See If They Can Spin Webs – And They Learnt A LotCan spiders still spin webs in microgravity? Fortunately, we know the answer thanks to two arachnids, Arabella and Anita, who were blasted off to space in 1973.The idea for the “arachnaut” experiment originally came from a 17-year-old high school student in Massachusetts called Judith Miles. Presumably by coincidence, she suggested the idea in 1972, the same year David Bowie released the album The...

Pangea Proxima: This Is What Planet Earth May Look Like 250 Million Years In The Future
Pangea Proxima: This Is What Planet Earth May Look Like 250 Million Years In The FutureEarth’s continents appear to be in a constant cycle of breaking apart and moving together. At this moment in time, we're in an awkward intermediate phase following the breakup of Pangea around 175 million years ago. If that’s accurate, it’s looking like Earth could be sliding back into a supercontinent another 250 million years down the line.The surface of Earth might seem solid and unchanging, but it’s...
First Known Observations Of Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry In Special Particle Decay
First Known Observations Of Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry In Special Particle DecayParticles and antiparticles have opposite charges, and they annihilate if they interact, turning into pure energy. In the Big Bang, an equal amount of matter and antimatter formed, but some process must have given matter a boost, leaving just a tiny fraction of antimatter in the cosmos today. The reason for this is not clear, and several experiments are looking for an answer. The LHCb at CERN has just announced...
