Scientists unlock secret to Venus flytrap’s hair-trigger response

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 02:00:26

To trap its prey, the Venus flytrap sends rapid electrical impulses, which are generated in response to touch or stress. But the molecular identity of the touch sensor has remained unclear. Japanese scientists have identified the molecular mechanism that triggers that response and have published their work in a new paper in the journal Nature Communications. As previously reported, the Venus flytrap attracts its prey with a pleasing fruity scent. When an insect lands on a leaf, it stimulates th

The Third Chair

From Ivan’s Childhood (1962) by Andrei Tarkovsky 22 February. On Wednesday night, I had an errand at the store in the village where we lived when we first came to the island. Having some time to waste, I went to the library. I used to sit down there, writing, or trying to write, four long years ago. In Denmark you can open all public libraries with your social security card, so although it was closed, I walked in. The stacks lit up. It was like entering a Proustian memory. The stale, dry air r

Whether you’re working or playing games, if you’ve spent any amount of time at a desk staring at a monitor, you’ve likely also spent a lot of that shifting around trying to find any semblance of comfort. The chair isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when planning desk setups, but a bad one will leave your neck and back crying for help.
