Sponges are among earth’s most ancient animals, but exactly when they evolved has long puzzled scientists. Genetic information from living sponges, as well as chemical signals from ancient rocks, suggest sponges evolved at least 650 million years ago. This evidence has proved highly controversial as it predates the fossil record of sponges by a minimum of 100 million years. Now an international team of scientists led by Dr Eleonora Rossi, from the University of Bristol’s School of Biological Sciences, have solved this conflict by examining the evolution of sponge skeletons. The research is published in Science Advances.

In this study led by Jie V. Zhao, Yitang Sun, Junmeng Zhang, and Kaixiong Ye from the University of Hong Kong and the University of Georgia, researchers investigated whether two amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, affect how long people live (lifespan). The results suggest that higher levels of tyrosine are linked to shorter life expectancy in men, pointing to potential sex-specific approaches to promoting longevity.

Controlling the rate at which polymers break down is essential for developing sustainable materials. Conventional approaches—which rely on introducing labile and cleavable bonds—often face an inherent trade-off between stability and ease of deconstruction. Inspired by self-deconstruction mechanisms in biomacromolecules, we leverage conformational preorganization of neighbouring groups to modulate and expedite polymer self-deconstruction. Here we show that precise spatial alignment of nucleophilic groups relative to labile bonds regulates the cleavage kinetics by shifting the conformational ensemble towards reactive geometries. This strategy enables programmable deconstruction of both linear polymers and bulk thermosetting networks under ambient conditions, with rates tunable across several orders of magnitude—without altering the chemical identity of the cleavable bond or compromising the polymers’ physical properties. Furthermore, even distal intramolecular functionalities can be harnessed to dynamically control bond cleavability through metal-induced polymer folding, enabling reversible activation and deactivation of self-deconstruction. This work establishes conformational control as a powerful strategy for fine-tuning polymer deconstruction.

Researchers from Saarland University (UdS) have achieved an important breakthrough in Quantum Communication by demonstrating Quantum Entanglement and Teleportation over a 14 km long fiber link, the “Saarbrücken Quantum Communication Fiber Testbed”.

There's ~35,000 US troops actively deployed on US soil because of this narcissist. At what point do the people collectively revolt? I live in a relatively large city in the western US, and regularly disheartened by the small turnouts to protest these blatant violations of our rights...

While Nebula is a creator‑owned ad‑free video service, it's truly just a conventional centrally‑hosted platform collecting user data like most sites. So while ad‑free, it has no focus on privacy as its privacy policy shows standard analytics and tracking typical of most subscription services. This being the case, it's not a privacy respecting alternative to YouTube like Peer Tube much at all unfortunately.

Dark Reader is the best extention for this, pretty sure it's open sourced too!

The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android.

Once again, Linux with a win!

Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That's when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he's put in a similar situation, it's no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It's legitimately horrendous!

So Meta, Twitter, Snapchat and all the others who've redefined what data collection looks like and keep folks self centered is fine? The only reason the US is throwing this fit is because they can't access the collected data like they can with US based data brokers, I mean social media. The key aspect of this ban revolves around freedom of speach more than anything else.

Seeking the good of the whole makes one confront the depraved world we live in head on.

It's a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it'll be an older version.

You could just use the version on F-Droid until Fossify releases their fork of it. But ya, wild how basically out of no where Simple Mobile sold out tough.

Even without being a programmer, associating Free Software with a MASSIVE purchase is bonkers.

Using gentry as a slam indicates he views himself as royalty. Gentry is defined as "people of good social position, specifically the class of people next below the nobility in position". FUCK SPEZ!!!
