Eat Like a Medieval Saint With Her...

September 20, 2021

Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th-century nun, mystic, prophet, and healer. She led an abbey, communed with God, advised royalty, and chastised emperors. She also made cookies. Committed to a hermitage from the age of eight, Hildegard rose to prominence as a result of her divine visions. In a series of books, she relayed messages from God that ranged from the metaphysical to the practical. Along with fiery depictions of the world as a “cosmic egg” enveloped in the……

How quickly do algorithms improve?

September 20, 2021

Algorithms are sort of like a parent to a computer. They tell the computer how to make sense of information so they can, in turn, make something useful out of it. The more efficient the algorithm, the less work the computer has to do. For all of the technological progress in computing hardware, and the much debated lifespan of Moore’s Law, computer performance is only one side of the picture. Behind the scenes a second trend is happening: Algorithms……

RNA-targeting enzyme expands the CRISPR toolkit

September 20, 2021

Researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research have discovered a bacterial enzyme that they say could expand scientists’ CRISPR toolkit, making it easy to cut and edit RNA with the kind of precision that, until now, has only been available for DNA editing. The enzyme, called Cas7-11, modifies RNA targets without harming cells, suggesting that in addition to being a valuable research tool, it provides a fertile platform for therapeutic applications. “This new enzyme is like the Cas9……

Crossing disciplines, adding fresh eyes to nuclear...

September 20, 2021

Sometimes patterns repeat in nature. Spirals appear in sunflowers and hurricanes. Branches occur in veins and lightning. Limiao Zhang, a doctoral student in MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, has found another similarity: between street traffic and boiling water, with implications for making the cooling of nuclear reactors more resilient. Growing up in China, Zhang enjoyed watching her father repair things around the house. He couldn’t fulfill his dream of becoming an engineer, instead joining the police force,……

September 20, 2021

Earlier today, TechCrunch examined the new IPO price range for Toast.

Faces Bridge in Loveland, Colorado

September 20, 2021

There’s parking for the trail that leads under the bridge on the right of Wilson Avenue just before the bridge, coming from the intersection of Wilson and First Street. From the surface, the bridge looks like any other in Loveland but on the hiking trail that passes beneath the bridge, there’s a collection of bronze faces hanging on the wall. The faces……

Toast raises IPO price range, providing a...

September 20, 2021

U.S. technology unicorn Toast filed a new S-1 document this morning detailing a higher IPO price range for its shares. The more expensive range indicates that Toast may be worth more in its debut than it initially expected, a bullish sign for technology companies more broadly. Toast’s rising valuation may provide a boon to two different subsectors of technology: software and fintech. The restaurant-focused Toast sells software on a recurring basis (SaaS) to restaurants while also providing financial technology……

Following SEC lawsuit threat, Coinbase cancels launch...

September 20, 2021

Coinbase efforts to play hardball with the Securities and Exchange Commission didn’t last too long. The cryptocurrency exchange had garnered the ire of the regulatory commission over its plans to launch a crypto lending product, with the SEC sending the company a Wells notice which indicated that the agency would sue Coinbase if they launched their crypto lending product called Lend. Less than a couple weeks after publishing a defiant blog post titled “The SEC has told us it……

The Gravity-Defying Mail Jumpers of Lake Geneva

September 20, 2021

The teenager straddles the window’s edge, calculating the distance to the dock. Dressed in a casual uniform of blue shorts and a red polo shirt, he is poised and athletic, his hand gripping a newspaper with mail nestled inside. The double-decker boat—large enough to seat 160 passengers—slows as it navigates toward the pier, but it never stops. The teenager rises and leaps from the window, right foot landing on the dock, then it’s a mad dash to the mailbox,……

September 20, 2021

Malcolm Little was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 to a family constantly in fear of the Ku Klux Klan, racial violence, and white supremacy. During his childhood, Little and his family would shuffle from city to city, consistently being victims of heinous acts of racial hatred. In 1938, while the family was living in Michigan, Little’s mother was committed to a mental asylum, leaving the young Malcolm and his six siblings to the foster care system. He stayed……

Moor Abbey in Riverview, Ireland

September 20, 2021

The Franciscan friary called Moor Abbey is east of Galbally village and overlooked by the Galtee Mountains. It was established in the early 13th century by Donnchadh Cairprech Ó Briain, King of Thomond.

Mongolia's Melting Ice Reveals Fragile Prehistoric Artifacts

September 20, 2021

This story was originally published on The Conversation and appears here under a Creative Commons license. In the world’s high mountain regions, life needs ice. From the Rockies to the Himalayas, glaciers and other accumulations of snow and ice persist throughout the year. Often found on shaded slopes protected from the sun, these ice patches transform barren peaks into biological hot spots. As an archaeologist, I value these snow and ice patches for the rare peek they can provide……
