Scientists Identify Rare Blue Pigment in Iconic Jackson Pollock Painting—But It’s Now Off-Limits

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-22 23:10:48

Jackson Pollock was a famous American painter best known for his abstract expressionism, including the “drip and splash” and the “all-over” style of painting (which look exactly like they sound). Now we finally know the chemical origin of the blue color he splattered onto his iconic Number 1A, 1948. Researchers investigated the vibrant pigment via laser spectroscopy, a technique scientists use to investigate matter at the atomic level. With this approach, they revealed it to be manganese blue,

The FDA approves human trials for pig kidney transplants

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-06 23:54:16

Despite how it sounds, a xenotransplant isn't something from the latest Alien movie. It's an increasingly credible science: the transplantation of animal organs into humans. The field took one of its biggest leaps forward on Monday. The FDA approved the biotech company eGenesis to begin human trials of pig-to-human kidney transplants. eGenesis provides pigs with CRISPR-modified genes. These genetic changes reduce the chances of organ rejection in human recipients. The FDA approved the company f

Wild Pigs in California Are Turning Neon Blue on the Inside, Officials Warn

Unexpected exposure to rodenticide is turning California’s wild pigs blue, state authorities say. “I’m not talking about a little blue,” Dan Burton, owner of a wildlife control company in Salinas, California, told The Los Angeles Times. “I’m talking about neon blue, blueberry blue.” Burton was one of the first trappers to discover that local wild pigs had turned blue on the inside.

Why a Y Combinator startup tackling AI agents for Windows gave up and pivoted

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-01-08 10:33:47

A startup called Pig.dev that participated in Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 batch was working on a potential revolutionary idea: AI agentic tech to control a Microsoft Windows desktop. But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Philip Prince 2026-01-06 14:31:27

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The

Pedro Alfonso was entirely correct when he told Captain Espinosa what his sentence would be if he was captured by his countrymen. The last the rest of the crew of the Trinidad saw of him was when he was being bundled away in chains by Admiral Brito’s men, quaking with fear. That night, a priest came to see him in the dark hole into which he had been cast on the island of Ternate. Early the next morning, he was dragged to a clearing next to the Portuguese fort that was being built there. Under th

As I read more about the Columbidae, though, I came to appreciate pigeons for more than just their beauty. Their big appetites are crucial to the health of forests around the globe. Researchers observing fig trees in Malaysia once found that green pigeons consumed far more fruit than any other animal in the jungle, visiting some trees more often than all other animals combined. Most animals defecate seeds near the parent tree, but pigeons are long-distance fliers who retain seeds in their guts l

I just finished porting pigz from Unix to Windows (you can download pre-compiled binaries ). This article describes how I did it. Pigz was clearly written with Unix in mind, with no thought given to cross-platform portability. Thankfully, it’s a relatively simple, command-line program that sticks to using standard C library.
