Researchers have developed a hydrogel adhesive that adheres effectively underwater, drawing inspiration from barnacles. This new compound can bond objects in salty environments, overcoming challenges faced by existing adhesives. Demonstrating its properties, the adhesive was tested by attaching a rubber duck to a rock, resisting the impact of ocean waves. Additionally, a study revealed high microbial diversity within a forest's trees, detailing distinct microbial populations tied to tree physiology. The podcast also touched upon the controversial de-extinction claim of dire wolves, prompting discussion in the scientific community.
Researchers have developed a super-sticky underwater adhesive inspired by barnacles, capable of bonding even in salty water, demonstrated with a rubber duck affixed to a rock.
A new study reveals over 150 trees in a U.S. forest host diverse and distinct populations of microorganisms, expanding knowledge of tree microbiomes and their ecological roles.
Colossal Biosciences announced the de-extinction of dire wolves, sparking discussions and debates among scientists about the science and implications of de-extinction technologies.
