🔬💡 Nature has compiled examples of basic #research that seemed impractical but led to major breakthroughs, including Thomas Brock's 1960s #Yellowstone hot springs bacteria work that enabled PCR technology for #DNA analysis.
The compilation traces discoveries from Isidor Rabi's 1930s atomic nucleus research to MRI development, Friedrich Reinitzer's 1888 carrot root studies to LCD screens, Francisco Mojica's microbial research to #CRISPR gene editing, and Gila monster venom studies to #diabetes medications like #Ozempic.

🪲💧 Ripple #bugs live their entire lives on the surface of streams, pivoting in less than the blink of an eye while stirring the #water beneath them into swirling vortices.
#Biomechanics researcher Víctor Ortega-Jiménez spent five years figuring out their secret: feather-like oars on their middle legs that deploy and collapse in just 10 milliseconds. Engineers are now building small #robots that mimic these water-skating abilities.

Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.
The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.
It has been a quiet few weeks on TrueFans. But we are also going to push live today our new BlueSky integration.
Now you can auto publish your listening activity, comments etc. to your BlueSky account. You choose what verbs we should publish and then authorise your BlueSky account and we will do the rest.
It means anyone following your BlueSky account will see your podcast listening or comments. #discovery.
We already do this with X and Mastodon.

… here is a group of us, probably marking the 10th - 25th people in line, in the morning just before the #Higgs discovery seminar was ready to allow people in for seats. I met some people that night I’d never met before, but whose paths I then crossed for many years after. I also reconnected with some old colleagues in line that night and morning. It was an electric experience.
One of my favourite things was the specially labelled bottle of champagne my colleague, Aidan, put together in anticipation of this day. It was drunk with great delight, I am told.

We need to separate identity from servers in the ActivityPub world. It's time. I should be able to have a single identity and use it with lots of servers from Mastodon to Lemmy and beyond.
Then, various instances could reflect different communities with different people in them, different features and policies.
This also would elegantly solve the "instance selection paralysis" in @tchambers 's Deadly Fediverse UX sin #1.
Fortunately @benpate is starting to assemble people to solve this.
Hi @j12t @tchambers @benpate,
isn't #discovery without #webfinger (hostnames and dns in effect) a #fallacy and thus #centralisation in disguise?
