Hair Ice - Little, Big Science
In the photo: “hair ice”—a spectacular and rather rare phenomenon. The picture was taken last week on a decaying tree trunk in a forest in New York State. Despite its furry appearance, it is actually ...

Research is showing Earth’s core-mantle boundary is not the smooth interface often seen in textbooks. https://scim.ag/3KNqUM5
Ancient tectonic plates are oozing along Earth’s core
Thousands of earthquakes yield best picture yet of core-mantle boundary, shedding light on deep flows of viscous rock

Scientists fuse human brain cells with electronic circuits—and make it ‘think’
Hybrid “biocomputer” performs simple calculations, recognizes speech, albeit imperfectly

What's causing these weird blue flashes in the sky?
A new study suggests an extreme explanation: The most recent flash probably came from a giant star, 10x the mass of the Sun, being completely consumed by a black hole in just a few days. Ulp. 🧪🔭
