Octopuses have found an incredible way to protect the more delicate features of their nervous system against radically changing temperatures.When conditions fluctuate, they can rapidly recode key proteins in their nerve cells, ensuring critical neurological activities remain functional when temperatures drop dramatically.How do they do it? By deploying a rare superpower – editing their RNA on the fly, an ability found in some species of octopuses, squids and cuttlefish.It's an unusual strategy, but it appears to be an…

As a person who takes many last-minute trips, I’m used to flying on budget airlines. I’ve traveled thousands of miles on JetBlue (my ride-or-die), TAP Air Portugal (amazing), Vueling (decent), Ryanair (can you tell I studied abroad in Europe?), French Bee (they lost my bag at Paris Orly for nearly a week) and Spirit (who among us wouldn’t buy a $45 round-trip ticket to see Pitbull play in Nashville?). Yet Frontier Airlines didn’t come across my radar until more recently.The Denver-based low-cost carrier caught my…

The pilots in this so-called Chinese Top Gun are mostly top in the sense that they are in selfless support of China’s frontline troops thanks to the emerging technological superiority of the People’s Republic (which would have made for a less snappy title). Another in China’s seemingly never-ending line of propagandistic, government-backed action films, this is only distinguished in dunderheaded patriotism from its American 80s and 90s equivalents by its absence of any functioning sense of humour.It’s about the country’s…

A research team has turned the bodies of dead mice into vivid 3D maps of anatomy, with tissues, nerves, and vessels highlighted in color. The technique, which renders the corpses transparent and then exposes them to fluorescent antibodies that label distinct cell types, could help everything from drug development to understanding the spread of cancer, its creators and other scientists say. The developers, at the Helmholtz Munich research institute, call their…

Despite a premature explosive ending to the first attempted orbital flight by SpaceX's Starship cruise vessel, there looks to be a lot of potential for the rocket's capacity to bring passengers and equipment to orbit  — beyond Elon Musk's public statements about taking human colonists to Mars.SpaceX already has a contract with the U.S. government and a number of private companies have proposed projects that could take advantage of the enormous potential of the world's biggest reusable rocket, if the project succeeds. It…
