4+ min ago (890+ words) No distractions: He doesn't follow sports on TV, never opens social media and, when he's really flowing, sends even the important calls to voicemail. Morgan Gendel's best work requires silence. "All I do," he said, "is walk around thinking of stuff." He's a professional " a career "idea man" " who's made his money by making things up. Gendel, paid to provide plots and new twists to blocked and bogged down TV writers in his 30s, became a Hollywood showrunner in his 40s. In his 60s, he thought up and patented a way to build low-cost, low-weight structures that could be used on NASA missions to the moon or Mars. And that latest idea is garnering attention. Now a 72-year-old adjunct professor of screenwriting at Old Dominion University, Gendel is building prototypes of his patented design for aerospace shelters on campus, with help from the…...

14+ min ago (515+ words) Most people see the lemon as one of countless simple products of nature: a bright yellow fruit that has always existed on its own terms. However, the lemon is not a gift from the wild in the same sense that most fruits are. In reality, it's actually a biological invention that we humans shaped, as a result of ancient hybridization events and centuries of careful cultivation. Long before genetics or plant breeding were well-established fields of research " in the 1st millennium BC " early growers in Southeast Asia were already making decisions that would transform wild citrus species into the sharp, aromatic fruit we know today. Here's how, according to research. For decades, the precise botanical origins of the lemon have been debated. Fortuitously, a 2016 study published in Annals of Botany used a massive genetic analysis " combining chloroplast DNA, mitochondrial markers and…...

(CREDIT: Shutterstock) Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water that attack the ice from below. These secretive currents, spinning in the dark beneath vast ice shelves, are melting glacier fronts far more aggressively than anyone realized. The new research, led by the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, focuses on West Antarctica's Amundsen Sea Embayment. This remote region holds Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers, two giants that already lose ice at alarming rates. Instead of looking at slow, seasonal changes, the team zoomed in on "weather scale" events that…...

25+ min ago (524+ words) In such an environment, communication becomes ever more critical. It forms the foundation of personal, social, national and international relationships. Rebuilding these connections in the post-truth era requires a rethinking of communication itself, as well as careful consideration of who (or what) can be trusted to facilitate it. Artificial intelligence sits at the heart of this evolution. Communication has always adapted to technological advances, and AI is both at the forefront and at the core of this transformation. It is reshaping not only how we communicate but also how we verify information. Today, it isn't easy to imagine social or intergovernmental interactions that do not, in some way, involve AI. Yet AI's dual nature, as both a solution and a risk, cannot be ignored. To overlook this is not just naive; it undermines our ability to establish effective communication and…...

27+ min ago (238+ words) Britain's DragonFire laser weapon upped the ante on November 20 at the Ministry of Defence's Hebrides Range in Scotland when the high-powered, solid-state laser for the Royal Navy shot down drones flying at 351 knots (404 mph, 650 km/h). According to the Ministry, the latest tests of DragonFire not only demonstrate its lethality against high-speed targets but also the rapid maturity of the program. Originally slated to see active service in 2032, it will now be installed in the Navy's Type 45 frigates by 2027 as part of the ship's regular armament. In addition to detecting, tracking, and shooting down drones flying at high-subsonic speeds, DragonFire also demonstrated new, advanced capabilities. These include not only the ability to hit a target the size of a "1 coin or US quarter at the distance of a kilometer (0.62 miles), but also a new above-the-horizon targeting capability. Until now DragonFire has…...
