BusyBeaver(6) Is Quite Large

For overdetermined reasons, I’ve lately found the world an increasingly terrifying and depressing place. It’s gotten harder and harder to concentrate on research, or even popular science writing. Every so often, though, something breaks through that wakes my inner child, reminds me of why I fell in love with research thirty years ago, and helps me forget about the triumphantly strutting factions working to destroy everything I value. Back in 2022, I reported an exciting advance in BusyBeaverolo

Changing one gene can restore some tissue regeneration to mice

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-26 08:09:26

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed limbs, through eyes and parts of brain, to the spinal cord. Mammals, though, have mostly lost this ability somewhere along their evolutionary path. Regeneration persisted, in a limited number of tissues, in just a few mammalian species like rabbits or goats. “We were trying to learn how certain anima

Webb telescope discovers and photographs its first exoplanet

techspot.com Shawn Knight 2025-08-27 04:53:00

What just happened? The James Webb space telescope has captured what is likely to be the first exoplanet discovered using the advanced observatory. An international team of astronomers uncovered the planet candidate in the debris field surrounding TWA 7, a low-mass star in the constellation Antlia that is located around 111 light-years away from Earth. They used Webb's mid-infrared instrument to suppress the overwhelming glare from the host star, revealing faint objects that would have been too

BBC Apologizes for Accidentally Spoiling ‘Doctor Who’ Finale in News Report

Was she some sort of Rose variant, the role she originated in the series, meant to wrap things up with the David Tennant 14th Doctor running around? We don’t yet know. How

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct image of an exoplanet

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-29 12:23:48

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of a planet outside of our solar system, which is the first time it has accomplished such a feat. This is a very big deal because exoplanets don't put out much light, so researchers typically discover new planets through indirect methods like keeping track of shadows as they pass across a host star. Webb, however, didn't have to do all that. It has directly captured images of a planet called TWA 7 b . Scientists believe the planet is

Since it began its science operations in July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope has been probing the atmospheres of alien planets to study their potential for habitability. For the first time, however, Webb has discovered its own exoplanet, finding a young system hidden in a swirling cloud of dust and debris. Webb has captured a previously unseen exoplanet, the lightest planet imaged so far—an accomplishment made possible by the space-based telescope’s advanced capabilities. The recent disco

‘Doctor Who’ Will Return… as an Animated Kids Show

When Doctor Who came to the controversial climax of its latest season recently, it did so with an uncertainty the series hasn’t faced for 20 years: there was then, and still is, no official news if the series will return. But while that’s still case, the BBC has announced news that should give some reassurance that Doctor Who will have some form of future on TV.

If you know how OLED displays work, you know about one of their greatest strengths: Individual pixels can be shut off, offering deeper blacks and power savings. Dark modes, now available on most operating systems, aim to save power by making most backgrounds very dark or black, while also gratifying those who just prefer the look. But what about on the older but still dominant screen technology, LCDs? The BBC is out with a small, interesting study comparing the light and dark modes of one of it
