Schnelle Links
  1. Fast-paced lives demand faster visionTurns out, animals see the world—and time—at different speeds based on their lifestyles. Who knew being a couch potato could slow down your perception of reality? — Phys.org
  2. Global warming and heat stress risk close in on the Tour de FranceClimate change is making it harder for cyclists to pedal through the Tour de France without melting into puddles. Guess it's time to trade in those racing jerseys for some cooling vests! — Phys.org
  3. Engineered bacteria can consume tumors from the inside outForget chemotherapy; the new cancer treatment involves bacteria that munch on tumors like they’re at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Who knew the solution to cancer was so... microbial? — Phys.org
  4. New technology reveals hidden DNA scaffolding built before life 'switches on'Scientists just found out that DNA has a party-ready structure before the embryo even knows it’s alive. Talk about being prepared for life’s big debut! — Phys.org, Nature Genetics
  5. A new 'forever' marine pollutant? Fiberglass found in a major shellfish estuaryFiberglass has crashed the party in a shellfish estuary, raising alarms about its potential to become the newest 'forever' pollutant. We might need to rethink our ‘fishing for compliments’ routine! — Phys.org
  6. Scientists create ultra-low loss optical device that traps light on a chipResearchers have designed a chip that traps light like a pro magician, ensuring minimal energy loss. Who knew that light could be so good at playing hide and seek? — Science Daily
  7. When light 'thinks' like the brain: The connection between photons and artificial memoryA new study reveals that light might have more in common with our brains than we thought—both can store information in ways that are downright mind-boggling. Light bulbs are basically the new brainiacs! — Phys.org
