Bottlenose Dolphins Become One Of Few Known Mammals With A “Seventh Sense”
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
The first study of bottlenose dolphins’ sensitivity to electric fields has found some can detect electric direct current (DC) fields as weak as 2.4 microvolts per centimeter, even better than the measured capacities of platypus. Although still less capable in this regard than sharks and rays, the finding suggests electroreceptivity may play a more important role in dolphins’ survival than previously suspected.
Dolphins have small pits rich in nerve endings on their face, known as vibrissal crypts. A 2022 study confirmed these allow them to detect weak electric fields, but provided no indication on how weak that can be. It makes sense for species that live in murky rivers or estuaries to develop alternatives to seeing underwater, but for those dolphins that inhabit clearer waters such capacities might prove superfluous.

Single-molecule RNA sizing enables quantitative analysis of alternative transcription termination
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
The development of RNA technologies demands accurate assessment of transcript size and heterogeneity. Here, authors report a nanopore-based approach to study full-length RNA transcripts at the single-molecule level, identify premature transcription termination and study rolling-circle transcription.

Nvidia Stock Gained $1.5 Trillion To Surpass The FAANGs
Posted by Gemechu Taye in category: futurism
In August of 2021, my firm made a very bold prediction that Nvidia will surpass Apple in valuation.
We look at why Nvidia has been able to surpass every FAANG except Apple, and why it’s inevitable that it becomes the world’s most valuable company in the next 2.5 years.
