As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-20 22:20:14

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

Stressed Ice Generates Electricity, Researchers Find

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-21 02:50:33

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is imbued with remarkable electromechanical properties. Ice is flexoelectric, so when it’s bent, stretched, or twisted, it can generate electricity, according to a Nature Physics paper published August 27. What’s more, ice’s peculiar electric properties appear to change with temperature, leading researc

The Kissing Bug Disease Has Permanently Moved Into the U.S.

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-21 10:20:41

A dangerous, sometimes deadly, infection spread by kissing bugs is regularly spreading within America. In a recent paper, researchers are claiming that Chagas disease is endemic to parts of the southern U.S. and is probably here to stay. Scientists in Florida, Texas, and California made the case in a paper published last month in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. Citing evidence from infected humans, animals, and kissing bugs, they argue that Chagas has established a persistent presence

How to Make Light Roast Espresso, According to Chemists (2025)

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-10-21 09:58:31

“You need to realize you've already rejected tradition by not getting a dark roast coffee. You've embraced modernism,” Hedrick says. “And if you're going to embrace modernism and reject traditionalism, you must always also reject traditional shot parameters.” But terrific light roast is possible. There are two ways to go. You can go traditional—changing your dose and ratios a bit but aiming for a cup with intensity and balance. That's what I've been honing for the past year. But there's also

Web publishing platform WordPress is introducing an early version of an AI development tool, which CEO Matt Mullenweg described as a “V0 or Lovable, but specifically for WordPress” — V0 and Lovable being references to popular “vibe coding” services for building software using prompt-based, AI interfaces.

When the smartphone in your pocket is loaded with a growing arsenal of safety tools—including location tracking, fall detection, and SOS alerts—it’s very tempting to adventure off the grid without back up. But if your hikes, runs, and rides regularly take you beyond the reach of cell towers, into more extreme conditions and terrain, sticking a dedicated satellite messenger in your pack might just save your life.

The Tragic End of Natalia Nagovitsyna's Ordeal on Pobeda Peak

Although the fate of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsyna, stranded at 7,150m on Kyrgyzstan’s Pobeda Peak since August 12, has been obvious for several days, the last wisps of hope ended today. A few hours ago, a military drone captured thermal imaging footage of Nagovitsyna’s tent on Pobeda Peak. The images, published on the official website of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (GKNB), revealed no signs of life in her tent.
