There is a flare of the highest order on the Sun
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: futurism
Solar activity entered the growth phase a week earlier than forecast.
На Солнце около половины шестого утра по московскому времени зарегистрирована вспышка высшего балла X. Событий такой мощности не было с 22 февраля, когда произошла пока наиболее сильная вспышка текущего солнечного цикла уровня X6.3. По предварительным данным вспышка спровоцировала выбросы солнечной плазмы в космос, но точное их направление пока не понятно. В поле зрения коронографов вещество появится только примерно через час. Возможность движения облаков плазмы в сторону Земли, предварительно, исключительно высокая — активный центр, где произошел взрыв, расположен прямо напротив Земли. Оценка по наличию выброса и геомагнитный прогноз будут выданы в течение 2 часов.

The gene “degrees of kevin bacon” (dokb) regulates a social network behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: futurism
A paper in Nature Communications describes a gene that regulates the structure of social networks in fruit flies, which is named after the actor Kevin Bacon. Read the paper:
The structure of a social network is thought to be heritable in many animals, including humans. Here, Rooke and colleagues identify a gene, which they name “degrees of kevin bacon (dokb)”, that is expressed in the central nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster and regulates the structure of social networks.
