wired.com Javier Carbajal 2025-11-17 15:18:22

A team of researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Spain has succeeded, for the first time, in recording in real time and in 3D the implantation of a human embryo.

White Noise Makes Beer Brew Faster, Scientists Claim

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-17 20:10:36

Music can make people do things faster, with running, dancing, and doing chores being good examples. It seems, however, that we’re not alone in picking up the pace at the sound of a good tune. Researchers have discovered that playing a sound commonly known as white noise can shorten fermentation—arguably the most important step in brewing beer—by 21 to 31 hours, without markedly changing the flavor. This could help breweries increase beer production without diminishing quality. How sound chang

Notion gains offline mode, but it’s not quite automatic

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-18 00:21:18

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection. For some subscriber tiers, offline mode can apply to certain documents without flipping the toggle, but there are still some parameters to be familiar with in the new system.
