Hodin is fascinated by creatures who change form—“I’m even wearing my shirt,” he says, pointing to his T-shirt depicting a folk music festival celebrating metamorphosis. So when The Nature Conservancy asked him to try breeding sunflower stars, Hodin was excited. Sunflower stars go through a series of developmental stages—from eggs to poppy seed-sized larvae that float around for months to juvenile stars that settle on the sea floor and add more arms as they grow.

The important thing is to be conscious of the types of sugar you're consuming daily and whether you're eating a balanced amount.

The answers to those rarely-asked questions have become increasingly clear in recent months, as the looming threat of AI automation appears to be taking a concrete toll on the workforce.

Star Trek is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, as the shows that created its streaming boom have spent the last couple of years either coming to their end or announcing that they’re preparing to do so—and that’s even putting aside that Paramount itself is controversially about to come under new management.

Scientists have a fairly good idea of what Mars’ surface looks like. But exactly what that surface is made up of is more of a mystery. Now, scientists believe they have discovered an entirely new mineral on Mars from an unusual layer of iron sulfate with a distinct spectral signature. In a Nature Communications paper published on August 5, astrobiologists led by Janice Bishop at the SETI Institute describe the discovery of an unusual ferric hydroxysulfate compound around Valles Marineris, a vas

Some stone tools found near a river on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suggest that the first hominins had reached the islands by at least 1.04 million years ago. That's around the same time that the ancestors of the infamously diminutive “Hobbits” may have reached the island of Flores.

The ‘Star Wars’ Slur That Has Been Mainstreamed by Anti-AI Discourse

“Clanker.” You’ve probably heard the term online a lot lately, as growing wariness of the acceptance of generative AI has led to an almost science-fictional world of anti-robot sentiment. It’s become an increasingly common derogatory term, growing beyond the constraints of referring to chatbots and image generators to refer to any kind of non-human robotic intelligence. It’s perhaps fitting then, as it penetrates increasingly mainstream social circles, that “Clanker” itself is rooted in science
