Although Ripple has been around since 2012, it and the XRP Ledger are doubling down on its global payments journey. At the same time, it’s also aiming to become the go-to enterprise infrastructure provider, the company’s president, Monica Long, said on TechCrunch’s Chain Reaction podcast. Distinct from the Ripple network and protocol, the XRP Ledger is a decentralized public ledger with an open source code base that anyone can contribute to or use, Long said. And there are thousands of developers globally who do, she…

Insects numbers have declined so much that plants are now taking reproduction matters into their own hands (or petals). They're evolving to self-pollinate more often, rather than rely on ever-rarer insects to carry their pollen far and wide.That's the conclusion of researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Montpellier in France, after they ran a genetic analysis of modern field pansies (Viola arvensis) against older ones grown from seeds collected in previous…

A stylized depiction of long-term evolutionary patterns of transformative anthroecological change, highlighting major regime shifts in sociocultural niche construction, cultural, ecological and material inheritances, societal scales, energy use per capita and niche construction intensity (anthrome area per capita). The linear appearance of this chart is for illustrative purposes only; patterns of change in sociocultural evolution are nonlinear,…

It’s very rare to witness someone who started on YouTube end up directing an A24 horror movie. What makes Talk To Me even more interesting is that it’s based on a short comedy premise written by Bluey‘s executive producer, Daley Pearson. Given the Philippou brothers’ history as comedic VFX content creators and the success of Bluey as a children’s show, is it enough to make a successful horror story?

Single-celled life forms need just the simplest of evolutionary footholds to get a leg up in their environment.Even an extremely minimal cell that contains just 493 genes can mutate and adapt to improve its fitness, researchers say – a critical step in the persistence and stability of life that has now been demonstrated in the laboratory.The insights come from a new study by a team of researchers from the US and Brazil, which stripped a cell of all but its essential genes to see if it could still evolve.The cell is an…
