Origami Space Planes Could Solve a Major Problem in Orbit

news.ycombinator.com Passant Rabie 2026-02-11 17:42:53

Building a spacecraft could one day be as simple as folding a piece of paper into a plane and letting aerodynamics do the rest. A team of researchers from the University of Tokyo simulated the release of a paper airplane from the International Space Station (ISS) to see if would survive atmospheric reentry. In a paper published in Acta Astronautica, the researchers demonstrated how origami may be the solution to low Earth orbit’s growing trash problem. Rather than relying solely on metals to co

James Gunn has a new Superman movie out—perhaps you’ve heard of it? The DC hero’s latest cinematic adventure, the first under DC Studios’ Gunn-led era, is a box-office hit and already has fans dreaming of sequels and spin-offs. But one notable quirk of those ticket sales is that Superman is doing better domestically than it is internationally, despite its seemingly broad appeal as a Hollywood superhero movie.

Gluten Could Be Wrongly Blamed for Americans’ Stomach Troubles

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-02-15 21:10:02

For many of us, gluten is a dietary villain, capable of causing all sorts of gastrointestinal troubles. Research out this week looks to complicate that narrative, however, finding that people are sometimes wrongly blaming gluten for triggering their symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Scientists at McMaster University in Canada conducted the study, a small, randomized trial of IBS patients.

It's Wise to Wash All Produce, but These 12 Fruits and Veggies Are the Dirtiest

Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out. According to the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, over 99% of tested foods were well within the EPA's safety limits -- and more than a quarter didn't have a speck of pesticide residue.
