One group of Texas Tech University researchers has found a way to double fiber yield for cotton in semi-arid areas like that of West Texas, where drought, heat and salinity are working against farmers.

It’s with excitement and gratitude we announce we’ve accepted over $100 million in Aptera pre-orders and welcomed more than 3, 000 future owners across the U.S. and abroad into our family. 🌏 Read about the movement that’s happening:
When we launched Aptera a week ago, we were hopeful the world would see the potential of an ultra-efficient vehicle that can travel farther than any other and charge itself with the power of the sun. However, we never could have imagined the outpouring of interest and support that has followed our announcement. We quickly sold out of our Aptera Paradigm and Paradigm+ editions on the first day, and things haven’t slowed down since. It’s with excitement and gratitude we announce we’ve accepted over $100 million in pre-orders with over 3, 000 vehicles reserved by future Aptera owners in the U.S. and internationally. We’ll be ramping our production with a new facility in San Diego and two more development vehicles in the coming weeks, working towards our goal to begin deliveries in 2021 and early 2022. If you want to learn more about our mission, click below watch our video on YouTube (it’s going viral with over 500, 000 views and counting!) Our deepest thanks to all of the fans who have believed in us and made it possible to start this movement towards a more efficient future.
An expert panel is meeting Thursday to consider whether the Food and Drug Administration should issue a second emergency use authorization for a Covid-19 vaccine, this one made by Moderna. It is almost a foregone conclusion that it will. But the hearing still promises to tell us more about the vaccine and its use. The FDA gave Moderna’s vaccine a favorable review in the leadup to the meeting, all but guaranteeing the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will recommend an EUA be granted. It’s also widely expected the FDA will issue the EUA on Friday.
The authorization will mark the second Covid-19 vaccine cleared by the agency — and amount to one more step toward curbing the pandemic.
Mice, fruit flies and dogs are common creatures of laboratories across the country, valuable to researchers for their genetic proximity to humans. But what about lampreys?
A new Yale School of Public Health study has enlisted this unlikely and slimy ally in the fight against cancer.
By carefully tracing the evolution of a select number of cancer-causing genes in a variety of species, the researchers evaluated which animals are—and are not—effective in gauging how an analog of those genes in humans can lead to cancer. What they found is surprising: jawless fish such as lampreys share significant similarities in these certain genes compared to humans, while fruit flies do not. Their findings, published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution, will help molecular biologists and other scientists as they work to find potential cures to certain cancers, such as lymphoma.

How does intelligence ofs compare with other species? That was a topic of heated debate between 1905 and 1915 within the then-nascent field of comparative psychology.
In 1907, psychologist Lawrence W. Cole, who had established a colony ofs at the University of Oklahoma, and Herbert Burnham Davis, a doctoral student at Clark University, each published the results of nearly identical experiments on the processes of learning, association and memory ins. They relied on E.L. Thorndike’s puzzle-box methodology, which involved placing animals in wooden crates from which the animal had to escape by opening the latch or sequence of latches. They observed the number of trials required for successful completion and the extent to which the animal retained the ability to solve the same problem more quickly when confronted again with it. Using this method, they sought what Davis called “a tolerable basis” for ranking the intelligence ofs on the phylogenetic scale of evolutionary development. They independently concluded thats bested the abilities of cats and dogs, most closely approximating the mental attributes of monkeys.

Scientists broke open bits of oceanic crust and found them full of microbes—suggesting similar life could survive on other planets.
The dna sequence of these microbes could be used to prolong life almost indefinitely.
Bacteria 75 meters below the sea floor began to divide after a light snack.
In the Animal Olympics event of Surviving Horrible Things, tardigrades would take home the gold, silver, and the bronze. These eight-legged, microscopic creatures — also known as “water bears” —…
