Green insect turns a puzzling shade of hot pink
But this leaf-masquerading katydid hasn't been changed for good. An international team of scientists spotted the color-changing insect on Barro Colorado Island in Panama. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In the pitch black hours nearing midnight last March on Barro Colorado Island in Panama, a team of scientists came across a startling discovery: a hot pink leaf-masquerading katydid (), striking a pose in the glow of a research station light. Leaf-masquerading katydids are camouflage insects that usually resemble green leaves to ward off predators.

What 'Jurassic Park' got wrong about venomous dinosaurs
Science Ask Us Anything What'Jurassic Park' got wrong about venomous dinosaurs And what did'Spinosaurus' really do with that sail? Dilophosaurus didn't have a frill or spit venom. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. We all know dinosaurs were scary. While not strictly a dinosaur, the ancient shark was four times longer than the biggest great white. Now, imagine one of those big bad dinos had venom. That'd be the last thing we need, but it very well could've been a reality. In a new episode of's Ask Us Anything podcast, we dig into the fossil record to see just how likely a venomous dinosaur would've been.

OpenAI is throwing everything into building a fully automated researcher
OpenAI is refocusing its research efforts and throwing its resources into a new grand challenge. The San Francisco firm has set its sights on building what it calls an AI researcher, a fully automated agent-based system that will be able to go off and tackle large, complex problems by itself. OpenAI says that this new research goal will be its "North Star" for the next few years, pulling together multiple research strands, including work on reasoning models, agents, and interpretability .

A Quantum Leap for the Turing Award
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they've been awarded the highest honor in computer science. Today it's widely acknowledged that the future of computing will involve the quantum realm . Companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, and a few well-funded startups are frantically building quantum computers and routinely claiming advances that seem to bring this exotic, world-changing technology within reach. In 1979 all of this was unthinkable.

Higgs Boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces 'catastrophic' cuts
Higgs Boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces'catastrophic' cuts When the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced in Stockholm in October 2013, the world was watching. Among the names read out was Prof Peter Higgs, the British theorist who, nearly half a century earlier, had predicted the existence of a particle believed to hold the cosmos together - the Higgs boson. The announcement, broadcast live from Sweden, was what many scientists had hoped for since a year earlier, when experiments at CERN had finally confirmed Higgs's theory by discovering the Higgs boson - hailed as one of the biggest discoveries in a generation. At the time Higgs, who has since passed away, said in a statement: I hope this recognition of fundamental science will help raise awareness of the value of blue-sky research. Blue-sky research asks questions to understand the universe, rather than design new products.

NASA wants your hail photos
After grapefruit-sized hail hit Missouri, more images may help improve severe storm forecasting. A CoCoRaHS volunteer submitted this photo that displays a hand holding three large and uniquely shaped hailstones from June 14, 2023. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Tuesday March 10th was a particularly punishing day of bad weather for the residents of Kansas City, Missouri. That evening, hailstones as large as grapefruits bombarded homes, businesses, and vehicles in the area, causing widespread damage to the community.

'Arousal training' app can help men last TWICE as long in bed, scientists say An'arousal training' app could help men last twice as long in bed, a study has found. The Melonga App guides users through a number of therapeutic techniques, tips and exercises designed by urologists and psychologists. It is designed to help men manage arousal better and includes elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and physical exercises to improve ejaculation control without taking medicine. The at-home self-help tool could benefit men who are hesitant to seek help because they are ashamed, researchers said. And it could help the 20 to 30 per cent of men in the UK who are estimated to suffer from the issue, which is defined by ejaculating sooner than wanted during sex.
