The modern-day theoretical physicist faces a taxing uphill climb. "As we learn more, reality becomes ever more subtle; the absolute becomes relative, the fixed becomes dynamical, the definite is laden with uncertainty," writes physicist Yasha Neiman.
They can't stop it, but they can anticipate and mitigate it. Will that be enough?
Every child who has ever watched Finding Nemo has heard of ocean currents. Seriously educational stuff there, folks! While Finding Nemo is definitely not the most educational movie of all time, it can really spark curiosity in kids to find out more about ocean currents, like the East Australian Current, and how they are formed. This ocean current experiment is a fun way to see currents form right before your eyes!
A team of researchers from the U.K., the Netherlands and the U.S. has found that echolocation in blind people is more sensitive than previously thought. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes experiments they conducted with blind echolocation experts and what they learned from them.

Engineers from the University of Michigan have developed a rigid and durable new material inspired by tooth enamel. Unavoidable vibrations, like those on an airplane, cause rigid structures to age and crack, but most materials that effectively absorb vibrations are soft, so they don't make good structural components. The researchers chose to model their new material after enamel because it is strong and rigid, but also effectively absorbs vibrations. The researchers recreated the enamel structure by growing zinc oxide nanowires on a chip. They then layered two polymers over the nanowires, spinning the chip to spread out the liquid and baking it to cure the plastic between coats.

The new supercapacitors can be edited into different shapes and structures and stretched in different directions. (Credit: NTU) Scientists have created a customizable, fabric-like power source that can be cut, folded, or stretched without losing its function. The team has created the wearable a supercapacitor, which works like a fast-charging battery and can be recharged many times.

The thermal metamaterial was developed in research aimed at efficiently harvesting waste heat from power plants and factories. (Purdue University/Sean Molesky) An international research team has used a thermal metamaterial to control the emission of radiation at high temperatures, an advance that could bring devices able to efficiently harvest waste heat from power plants and factories. Thermophotovoltaic devices that generate electricity from thermal radiation might be adapted to industrial pipes in factories and power plants, as well as on car engines and automotive exhaust systems, to recapture much of the wasted energy.

Artificial mimosa leaves made of plain paper respond to touch using a paper actuation technology. (Credit: Carnegie Mellon University) A thin layer of conducting thermoplastic, applied to common paper with an inexpensive 3D printer or even painted by hand, serves as a low-cost, reversible actuator. When an electrical current is applied, the thermoplastic heats and expands, causing the paper to bend or fold; when the current is removed, the paper returns to a pre-determined shape.

4 out of 5 biologists agree: Knitting in Biology 101 is the cutest biology project, ever! If you agree, then this, my friend, is the pattern for you. The knitting is pretty easy, but you do need to be able to: knit in the round on double pointed needles, work short rows, work standard increases and decreases, work a picot bind off, and needle-felt My patterns are written in a pretty standard format with common abbreviations. I try very hard to make my patterns clear and easy to follow, with detailed instructions on things like the picot bind off, and I am always available through email or Etsy convo to answer pattern questions.

A small team of researchers with the Crop Research Institute and Palacký University, both in the Czech Republic, has rediscovered a plant first (and last) recorded over a century and a half ago. In their paper published in the journal Phytotaxa describing their find, Michal Sochor, Zuzana Egertova, Michal Hrones and Martin Dancak describe the plant, a mycoheterotroph called Thismia neptunis.
