They’re even using sturdier types of macro-algae, but it will take time to get the results ready for market. https://p.dw.com/p/4khZ3 Advertisement

Scientists say that communication based on the effect of quantum entanglement is not only possible, but also suitable for conversations with alien civilizations. And this explains the Fermi Paradox — the absence of signals from aliens. Quanum communications.

Researchers in Spain looking to develop a fresh approach to finding long-lost aqueducts have turned to U.S. Cold War-era satellite imagery. By mining the black-and-white images from the HEXAGON satellite program, the team developed machine learning models that have proven adept at picking out ancient aqueducts in varied terrain. The use of underground aqueducts is…

Stuck to rocks, shells, and piers in oceans around the world is a strange little creature called a sea squirt. It resembles a squishy potato and has two valves poking out, which it uses to suck in and expel seawater. Sea squirts are special for a few reasons. They tend to shoot water out of…
