Should the Maldives be creating new land?
As climate change leads to sea level rise, low-lying island nations like the Maldives are facing an existential threat. One solution is to 'reclaim' land by relocating sediment from the ocean floor. This can provide more space for development and increase resilience to rising oceans. But many are concerned about the environmental and social impacts of such projects. In this film we explore the process, the impacts and the uncertainties around this race to adapt.

AI and robotics demystify the workings of a fly's wing
Переглядів 80 тис.14 днів тому
Machine learning and robotics have shed new light on one of the most sophisticated skeletal structures in the animal kingdom: the insect wing hinge. Unlike birds or bats, which evolved wings by adapting existing limbs, insect wings are wholly original appendages, and understanding how the complex hinge that links the insect wing to its body works has been a challenge. But now a team of research...
No sweat: Moisture-wicking device keeps wearable-tech dry
Переглядів 18 тис.Місяць тому
Wearable electronics have a sweat problem. Most electronic materials aren’t permeable, and if a device isn’t breathable, sweat can start to build up on the skin. That’s uncomfortable for the user, and not great for the device which could lose signal quality, or just fall off. Breathable electronics do exist, but the technology is in its infancy. Now though a team of researchers have developed a...
Cancer-busting vaccines are coming: here's how they work
Переглядів 84 тис.Місяць тому
Most vaccines work by teaching the immune system to recognize harmful viruses or bacteria before a person gets infected and becomes unwell. A few cancer vaccines do this, too. For example, a vaccine is given to young people as protection against human papillomaviruses that can cause cervical cancer. But scientists are also developing cancer vaccines that could be used as treatments, after cance...
Building a heart atlas
Переглядів 10 тис.Місяць тому
The heart is the first organ to develop, but despite its importance, scientists know surprisingly little about exactly how its cells are arranged. Now a team of researchers have combined RNA sequencing and cutting edge imaging technology to map the heart in more detail than ever before. They hope that this ‘atlas’ will allow scientists to tackle congenital defects, which are a leading cause of ...
The bees that can learn like humans
Переглядів 18 тис.Місяць тому
Scientists have long accepted the existence of animal culture, be that tool use in New Caledonian crows, or Japanese macaques washing sweet potatoes. One thing thought to distinguish human culture is our ability to do things too complex to work out alone - no one could have split the atom or travel into space without relying on the years of iterative advances that came first. But now, a team of...
Why human brain cells grow so slowly
Переглядів 27 тис.3 місяці тому
Growing human neurons in the lab can be a time-consuming process. Some cortical cells take years to reach maturity - many times slower than the equivalent cells in a mouse. Researchers have been exploring some of the mechanisms that could be behind these very different timescales of growth - and have found a kind of epigenetic ‘braking’ effect that slows maturation. Manipulating this ‘brake’ co...
‘Like a moth to a flame’ - this strange insect behaviour is finally explained
Переглядів 17 тис.3 місяці тому
Moths love a light bulb. And it’s not just moths - all sorts of insects congregate around artificial lights at night. But what makes these lights so apparently attractive? Previous explanations have included the idea that confused insects are attempting to use the moon to navigate, or that they’re being drawn to the heat rather than the light itself. Now, advances in camera technology have allo...
Super-propulsion: How sharpshooting insects flick their pee
Переглядів 19 тис.4 місяці тому
Sharpshooters are tiny insects capable of extraordinary feats. They feed on xylem fluid which is about 95% water and as a result they produce a lot of urine which they need to expel, and they do so using some pretty nifty physics called super propulsion. By taking advantage of the unique properties of water at this scale, sharpshooters can flick droplets of urine away from their bodies at speed...
What ChatGPT is and what it's not: A three minute guide

AI chat bots like Chat GPT and its cousins have taken the world by storm in 2023. To a casual user, large language models are creating increasingly human-like responses - and yet this does not represent the reality of what is going on under the hood. In this video we are going to explore what Chat GPT and other like it are actually doing, what the future may looks like for these programs and as...
The rubber that stops cracks in their tracks
Переглядів 11 тис.4 місяці тому
Modern manufacturing needs stiff rubbers that can resist deformation for components like shock absorbers and drive belts. But the stiffer rubber becomes, the more likely it is to crack under stress, which is a tough problem for researchers; the point at which cracks begin to propagate under repeated stress, known as the fatigue threshold, has stayed the same for decades. But now a team of resea...
Super hot plasma made easy with stabilising fibres
Переглядів 21 тис.5 місяців тому
CORRECTION: The video incorrectly states that an 'extremely high voltage' is used to create the plasma. In fact the use of carbon fibres in this device decreases the required voltage to less than 50 volts. In a plasma electrons separate from atoms and create a soup of charged particles that can be extremely hot and bright. This is particularly useful for manufacturing certain types of high temp...

Could a robot chemist create oxygen on Mars using AI?
Переглядів 11 тис.5 місяців тому
If humans are ever to build settlements on Mars, they will need oxygen, to breathe, but also to allow rocket fuels to burn, to allow for return missions. But oxygen makes up only a tiny percentage of the Martian atmosphere, and transporting oxygen there from Earth is not a practical solution. Instead scientists have pinned their hopes on generating oxygen on the red planet, and this new robotic...
How would a starfish wear trousers? Science has an answer
Переглядів 34 тис.6 місяців тому
Starfishes are weirdly shaped animals. Scientists have long puzzled over how a starfish body equates to the more typical animal arrangement of a head on one end and trunk or tail on the other. Humans wear trousers on the bottom of their trunks, so you could extrapolate out from that to suggest solutions to the 'trouser question' for dogs, horses, spiders and even slugs. But what about a starfis...

    Check out Dr Thomas Seyfried's book: "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease". To begin with, normal cells make energy through oxidative phosflorylation, with oxygen. They have healthy mitochondria that can process glucose, glutamine, and ketones, (ketones made from the burning of fat). All cancer cells, occuring anywhere in the body, have damaged mitochondria that cannot process ketones, and instead make ATP through fermentation (sans oxygen) and the two fuels for this fermentation process is glucose and glutamine. A ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting drastically reduces these two fuels, starving the cancer. Useful as a stand-alone in some cases, or SOC may be used adjunctively. Failure to recognize and fix the metabolic environment of the body is likely the main reason for "biochemical recurrence" in the majority of cases. Strike at the energy source, and cancer cells become weakened or die. And what do they feed weak, emaciated, bald patients on chemotherapy in the hospital? Cake, ice cream, spaghetti, orange juice, etc. It's freeking insane.

    I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where I don't need shoes, I've been living the barefoot life for over 18 years. Even though I have massive callouses, it's really weird to me to use sandals and not being able to feel the ground. I don't know about the benefits, but I sure don't suffer from any back pain or have flat feet.

    I’m not clear on this video. Did the offspring of the land raised fish have different bone structure from the aquatic fish from birth?…or did they just adapt afterwards. The video didn’t say. It just said they adapted to the environment. Of course it will adapt. If we are born without legs our arms will be stronger and bigger because we will use them to move around. That doesn’t mean that our offspring will have stronger and bigger arms.
