Terra Oleo’s oil-producing microbes could replace destructive palm oil plantations

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-21 07:10:00

When most kids rebel against their families, they might become a ski bum, join a band, or go to art school. Shen Ming Lee decided to start a company. “I grew up in the conventional palm oil industry,” Lee told TechCrunch. “My family’s business is one of the top producers in the palm oil space. And so I grew up a little bit — I have to admit —ashamed of what my family does.” Palm oil has come to dominate the market for vegetable oils, with the raw ingredient and its derivatives appearing in eve

Lee Pace Reveals the Secrets of His ‘Foundation’ Bod

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-26 19:50:03

Foundation season three has ended (we’re still reeling) and we are more than thrilled that a fourth season is on the way. Though Apple TV+’s Asimov adaptation has a lot of things to recommend about it—complex characters, dynamic worldbuilding, a plot that celebrates the wonders of math—you also can’t count out the Lee Pace factor. The charismatic, cult-beloved actor has been a pivotal part of all three seasons. Though Foundation takes place across hundreds of years, the galaxy it’s set in is ru

Galileo’s telescopes: Seeing is believing (2010)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-16 23:33:43

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

Adorable Triassic Reptile Used its Freaky Back Fin to Communicate

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-28 00:00:01

Technological advancements have brought us many things. For paleontologists, it’s introduced the ability to probe softer material—skin, feathers, scales, and hair—found on fossilized creatures. And that’s resulting in some strange new findings about long-extinct animals, showing us that they’re even weirder than we imagined. A paper published today in Nature offers a re-analysis of a fossilized Mirasaura grauvogeli, a 247-million-year-old reptile whose defining feature is a feather-like structu

Cats as Horror Movie Villains

news.ycombinator.com Archer 2025-12-31 11:19:38

Do people like watching cats because of neoteny? I doubt it, because adult cats don’t look at all like babies. But then why do we have this odd fascination with every ordinary action of a cat and treating them as instances of a Platonic Cat? I speculate that there may be an evolutionary psychology reason: cats in Africa prey on primates to a degree I suspect few people appreciate, and this seems to have been true for millions of years, making them our apex predator. So perhaps we are still sligh

45-hour voyage in replica canoe tests Paleolithic migration theory

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-19 00:02:30

Earlier this week, we reported on a Swedish archaeologist who spent the last three years sailing the fjords in a replica boat similar to those the Vikings may have used. Not to be outdone, Japanese researchers have followed suit, building their own seaworthy dugout canoe with Paleolithic-era tools to cross between Taiwan and Yonaguni Island, where one of the world’s strongest ocean currents, the Kuroshio, remains active. They presented their findings in two new papers published in the journal S

Researchers Pit Stone Age Seafaring Skills Against One of Earth’s Fiercest Currents

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-02-21 15:00:27

Archaeologists estimate that humans first arrived on the Ryukyu Islands off the southwestern coast of Japan sometime between 35,000 and 27,500 years ago. How they did so, however, remains a mystery, especially since they would have had to cross one of the planet’s strongest ocean currents. To address this enduring question, scientists decided to attempt the Paleolithic voyage themselves. Using replicas of tools that existed in the Japanese Archipelago during the Upper Paleolithic (around 50,000

Pope Leo XIV warns of AI risks, urges action to protect human dignity

The big picture: Two days after his election, Pope Leo XIV addressed a gathering of cardinals in Rome and made it clear that artificial intelligence would be at the center of his papacy. The new pontiff, who hails from Chicago and holds a mathematics degree, invoked the legacy of his namesake, Leo XIII, who had defended workers' rights during the upheaval of the industrial revolution.

Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Rolling Out Soon—With One Big Unanswered Question

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2026-03-16 09:00:00

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously? But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi. The tech, though impressive, is still in development, and the autonomous systems still need humans to guide them through less-common and especiall
