Published in the July issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the results of the study describe two experiments. In one test, researchers injected mice with ovarian cancer cells that had been dyed and soaked in a protein that would bind them only to cancer and not to regular cells. After gently massaging a mouse to disperse the cells, researchers placed a magnet on the mouse’s belly for 30 seconds....

Toyota is looking to change that. The Japanese automaker has been working to improve its hydrogen technology, pushing the limits to find how this versatile fuel can be used to power the cars of tomorrow. Toyota’s newest tests explore using hydrogen in a combustion engine instead of a traditional fuel such as gasoline or diesel. Toyota, after years of tests with this rather unorthodox power source, has placed its hydrogen tech in its rowdy hot hatch, the GR Yaris....

Pederson, now a senior ecologist with Harvard University’s Harvard Forest, a 4,000-acre research site, along with Laia Andreu-Hayles, an associate research professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, and Mathieu Levesque, research leader of the forest management group at ETH Zurich, analyzed tree rings to determine if the information they gleaned matched the accuracy of high-tech equipment. They wanted to know whether the rings could serve as a proxy for learning more about carbon storage and climate change in forests over the long-term, and found that they could....

The storm is is expected to weaken until it’s about 250 miles away from San Diego and as it move along the US West Coast. This is the closest a tropical system has come to the region since Hurricane Nora in 1997. Forecasters say areas of flash flooding are probable in the region today through Sunday, with the up to five inches of rainfall possible for the interior mountains of southern California....

Order silver-plated nylon thread (silver conducts electricity). This can be difficult to find in stores, but major online retailers carry it. Pick a pair of gloves to modify. Although leather works, it’s harder to push a needle through. Stitch the figure of a star or other solid shape onto the glove’s index finger with the thread, making sure it will contact both the touchscreen and your skin. Bundle up and tap away....

So fast, in fact, that sometimes you don’t even have to finish typing your query for Google to show you what you’re searching for. The best way to see this magic in action is to open up Google Chrome on your computer and start typing into the address bar (or “omnibox”) at the top of the screen. These 25 examples should get you started—and you won’t even need to hit “enter....

For more than 200 years, American bourbon has spread from its birthplace in the mountains of Kentucky throughout the country and beyond. Though the details of this liquor’s origin story are often conflicting, original bourbon distillers were likely Scottish and Irish settlers who craved their familiar, Old World whiskey and adapted their ancient recipes to New World ingredients such as corn. No ordinary moonshine, bourbon is aged in new charred oak casks until it has an amber color and a fiery but smooth finish....

Tumblr Even before news broke of the Twitter-Musk deal, users started tweeting about dusting off their old Tumblr accounts. If you never experienced the good ol’ days of peak Tumblr, the best way to understand the platform is to think of it as Twitter’s and Instagram’s forbidden love child. Well, we checked, and some of the countless available social media platforms do have the potential to feel a bit like Twitter....

Google created this mode so developers could test their apps on Android, but its usefulness goes beyond that. This menu opens up options to check how your device is performing, troubleshoot problems, get a closer look at how Android works, and more cool tweaks. A word of warning though—Developer Mode is hidden by default for a reason, and if you enable it, you do it at your own risk. Some of these settings can cause certain apps to misbehave or make your device more vulnerable to hackers....

“There’s lots of interest right now in nature and cities,” says Diane Pataki, director of the school of sustainability at Arizona State University. “We have an emotional and spiritual connection to nature. So there’s this sense that when humans are separated from nature, it’s not good for us.” And while there are loads of potential benefits to having more green spaces in densely populated areas, not all urban parks and forests are created equal....

Inside we’ll provide thermal imaging, a new ball and a sock for the sand. Let us begin! Grimace for the Camera Forget about feeling the burn. In preparation for the Beijing Olympics, beach volleyball players could see it. Scientists at the USOC used thermal imaging capability to provide a real time assessment of inflammation in the body. Athletes would often complain of pain in different joints that couldn’t be diagnosed by doctors....

Just how effective is washing your hands in preventing illness? There’s a reason the World Health Organization holds hand washing in high esteem: It works. While many people have been buying and hoarding face masks to protect themselves from COVID-19, the WHO and other health organizations actually advise against their use by healthy individuals. If you’re already sick, a mask might keep you from sneezing into the open air, thus protecting those around you from the aerosolized droplets full of virus you’d otherwise be spewing....

These are called olfactory ensheathing cells, and they surround olfactory neurons that allow us to smell. These are the only part of the body where nerve cells continually regenerate in adults, and as such they’ve long been a promising target for scientists studying nerve injuries–especially spinal cord injuries, as the BBC points out. This is the first study to use them in animals with real-life injuries, rather than animal models of paralysis....

Committed environmentalists can affordably swap out existing showerheads for this model, which offers an exceptional reduction in water usage to just 1.25GPM. It’s designed to maintain a consistent stream of water through nine spray jets, even if your water pressure fluctuates. You will notice a difference between this low-flow model and a regular showerhead, but you can adjust the spray from a finer mist to a more powerful stream as needed to rinse stubborn soap out of your locks....

As NBC News reported yesterday, a host of websites that once offered consumers the option to tie their logins to their Facebook account have quietly distanced themselves from the site. “We really just looked at how many people were choosing to use their social media identity to sign in, and that just has shifted over time,” Jan Felch, Dell’s chief digital and chief information officer, told reporters. “One thing that we see across the industry is more and more security risks or account takeovers, whether that’s Instagram or Facebook or whatever it might be, and I just think we’re observing people making a decision to isolate that social media account versus having other connections to it....

The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, concerns a 2018 law passed by Mississippi barring abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Supreme Court’s decision, released this morning, was similar to a draft opinion leaked to Politico in early May. In their dissenting opinion, Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan wrote, “Yesterday, the Constitution guaranteed that a woman confronted with an unplanned pregnancy could (within reasonable limits) make her own decision about whether to bear a child, with all the life-transforming consequences that act involves … But no longer....

Better home audio is a nebulous world of micro-advances in technology that are tedious enough to make your head spin like a record. It’s a frustrating, seemingly endless struggle to improve what we hear. And as more and more of what we listen to comes from our hard drives and cloud services, we’re less dependent on the medium itself and more dependent on the technology that turns data to drum beats....

At first, the answer seems intuitive. Faced with a woody plant, the average person could swiftly categorize each as either tree or shrub, likely based on a set of inarticulable parameters specific and unknown even to them. But think about the prompt for too long and the easy answer sours. Instead, the individual in question might turn to something they’ve read or heard from a more reliable source, say ornithologist David Allen Sibley‘s pithy bifurcation: “If you can walk under it, it’s a tree; if you have to walk around it, it’s a shrub....

The 200-lb ejection seat, with its 3,500 or so parts, is a remarkable piece of technology that not only gets pilots out of a crashing plane but also ensures they survive the experience more or less unscathed. If the pilot ejects above 16,400 feet where oxygen is scarce, sensors on the chair will let it free-fall to get its occupant down to breathable air as fast as possible, and only then will the parachute open....
