Researchers used the popular gene-editing technique CRISPR to modify the DNA sequences of house spiders, causing them to produce red fluorescent silk. Scientists are hoping that the US Navy and Air Force-funded research could lead to the development of new "supermaterials" produced by arachnids, Fast Company reports. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team of researchers at the University of Bayreuth in Germany injected the eggs of unfertilized female spiders

Researchers have, for the first time ever, used CRISPR gene editing on spiders. While the genetically-modified critters lack the ability to give you spidey senses, they do spin glowing silk. In a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, researchers at the University of Bayreuth created the world’s first CRISPR-modified spiders, some of which produced red fluorescent silk, and some of which had no eyes. CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful gene editing system that has revolutionized our ability t

Getting a good night's sleep is vital, especially if you have a big day ahead. The same can be said for people who work night shifts -- trying to sleep during the day can be an exercise in frustration. That's why a great sleep mask can be worth its weight in gold, and it's money well spent. A recent CNET survey found that 6 in 10 US adults would be willing to spend money to sleep better -- on average, they said they'd spend almost $1,000 a year to do it. Picking up a sleep mask won't set you bac

Bleaching my hair four years ago has left me struggling with frizzy and dry locks. I have tried everything from hydrating shampoos to those expensive repair treatments, but nothing has given me long-lasting results. While looking into what more I could do to combat the issue, many people recommended sleeping on a silk pillowcase. Before this, I was sleeping on a cotton pillowcase that left me with intense bedhead requiring just as intense brushing, which meant breakage and more frizz. Since I ha

It was Tuesday June 25, 2019. San Francisco became the first US city to (temporarily) ban the sale of vapes, SpaceX successfully launched and deployed 24 satellites and I sat in Nintendo’s UK office on the outskirts of London, playing a demo of a game that still isn’t out. However, according to yesterday's Switch 2 presentation, Hollow Knight: Silksong will arrive at some point this year. Nintendo even showed off a couple of seconds of new footage. There are slopes! Oh Silksong, oh Hollow Knig

Thank goodness Nintendo didn't do its livestream on April Fool's Day. Silksong, the long-awaited sequel to lauded 2D action game Hollow Knight, appeared during a scant few seconds of the Nintendo Switch 2's livestream reveal -- and it's coming this year.

Silksong, the long-awaited to sequel to 2017's Hollow Knight, will arrive later this year, according to a brief sizzle reel Nintendo shared during today's Switch 2 Direct. In fact, the snippet was so short you might have missed it if you blinked, and featured the same section of gameplay we first saw during the game's announcement trailer back in 2019.
