Active cemo - here we come!
Xanthommatin is the pigment that allows octopus to blend with their environment and vanish. We now figured out how to make it in the lab (with genetical engineering and biosynthesis) and manipulate its color.

I would have love to put solar geoengineering strictly in the #SciFiScience posts. But it's something that a lot of people are working seriously on.
Yet once someone looking at the details, they found that the space for “low-risk” action may be very small. 🧪

Great choice! Adler dives deep into the science behind sci-fi. Remember, "The Expanse" series illustrates large space habitats perfectly! What’s your take on O'Neill cylinders? 🪐📚 #SciFiScience
I read a subsection or two of Charles L. Adler's Wizards Aliens and Starships: Physics and Math in Fantasy and Science Fiction, specifically more on the scientific plausibility of mass scale space stations.
