I am hoping I'm not the only one who codes to music a good four hours a day. I am six months into a brutal coding effort and I want more music. Please post a playlist or two. Punk, Metal, Classical, or Musicals. It doesn't matter what it is. If you code to it. Submit it! Please don't mock what other...

Where Does the Shape of the Romanesco Cauliflower Come From? The mystery of the formation of one of the most peculiar plant forms — the Romanesco cauliflower — has been solved by a team of scientists from the CNRS1 and Inria in an article published on July 9, 2021, in the journal Science. Thanks to ...

Researchers have used airborne geophysical data to map Yellowstone’s subsurface hydrothermal system. The study revealed how hot fluids rise to the surface, shaping the park’s famous geysers and springs, while uncovering previously unknown connections between distant hydrothermal features. The geyser...

A geobiologist from Göttingen University has found a diversity of patterns in 240 million-year-old seashells. UV light allows you to view intricate structures in fossils that would be impossible to observe in normal daylight. This method has often been used on fossilized seashells from the Earth&#82...

A team of researchers has created 3D models in order to gain a better understanding of the evolution of flowers. A team of researchers from Montreal, including those from McGill University, the University of Montréal, and the Montreal Botanical Garden, are using photogrammetry – a technique commonly...

Largest Fossilized Flower Encased in Amber New images of the largest fossilized flower to be discovered in amber have recently been published in the journal Scientific Reports. The flower, measuring 28 millimeters across, is nearly three times larger than other preserved flowers. The fossilized flow...

The rhythmic beating of geysers at Doublet Pool provides insight into the changes in energy within the Yellowstone hydrothermal system. As throngs of people gather around Old Faithful, eagerly anticipating its next eruption, a small pool located just north of Yellowstone National Park’s most f...

Research suggests that flower orientation, not symmetry, stabilizes pollinator entry, challenging traditional views on floral evolution. In the natural world, it’s not uncommon to see flowers from unrelated species exhibit similar physical characteristics. One such attribute is bilateral symme...

Steamboat Geyser’s spray slowly fossilizes the trees it lands on – preserving the geyser’s past and providing a glimpse into Steamboat’s uncertain future. A recent study reveals that Yellowstone’s renowned Steamboat Geyser has had decades-long dry spells brought on by a history of droughts, a ...

New research explores how “flower power” persisted through the mass extinction event 66 million years ago to emerge as the dominant plant type. A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Bath (UK) and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico) illustrates that ...

Scientists at the University of Bath have used nature as inspiration in developing a new tool that will help researchers develop new pharmaceutical treatments in a cleaner, greener, and less expensive way. Drug treatments often work by binding to proteins that play a role in diseases, thereby inhibi...

Individuals rely on the natural systems composed of trees, grasslands, and bushes to absorb carbon from the air and sequester it beneath the surface, a critical process in mitigating the march toward a climate catastrophe. Ironically, these same protected spaces also tend to be highly photogenic hot...

The sunflower family tree revealed that flower symmetry evolved multiple times independently, a process called convergent evolution, among the members of this large plant family, according to a new analysis. The research team, led by a Penn State biologist, resolved more of the finer branches of the...
