The Superpower of Spider Silk
Spider silk possesses remarkable characteristics: it’s incredibly strong, sticky, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable.
But did you know that spider silk can withstand a load of up to 300 kilograms per square centimeter? Moreover, it can stretch up to 40% of its original length without losing strength.

Interesting article from Xinhua News Agency reports on the operational start of the world's deepest and largest underground physics laboratory in Sichuan Province, China. This laboratory, situated 2,400 meters beneath Jinping Mountain, provides a unique environment for researching dark matter. Its ultra-low radiation background and minimal cosmic ray interference are key advantages for scientific experiments. The facility, developed by Tsinghua University and Yalong River Hydropower Development Company, Ltd., will also contribute to interdisciplinary research in fields like particle physics and nuclear astrophysics.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a new view of Uranus, showing its rings, moons, and atmospheric features, including a polar cap. The images, more detailed than earlier ones, highlight Uranus's dim inner and outer rings, the elusive Zeta ring, and several of its 27 moons. Infrared wavelengths reveal dynamic atmospheric features, including seasonal north polar cloud caps and storms, offering insights into the planet's complex atmosphere. These observations aid in understanding similar-sized exoplanets and our solar system. For the full article, visit NASA's website.

No, it’s not Starbucks. It’s Artly, a 3-year-old startup that has developed an AI-powered machine that it claims makes a “perfect cup of coffee every time,” using computer vision algorithms to guide a robotic arm and monitor drink quality. Amazing?
Artly's barista bots learn quickly: Human baristas can use the imitation learning platform to teach Artly new tricks by showing examples. Deep Learning-based visual inspection is used to monitor drink quality at each step to ensure a perfect cup with every order.
It has 10 retail locations across the US and will use the new funding to expand its model.

In our Solar System, there are numerous asteroids rich in valuable elements that are highly coveted by humanity. Therefore, it's imperative that we develop technologies for their industrial exploitation!💎
Let's explore the top three most valuable asteroids:
Psyche is located in the main asteroid belt. This 240-kilometer wide asteroid is rich in metals, including nickel and iron, and also contains gold and platinum. However, recent reports suggest that Psyche might predominantly consist of rocky material. We will obtain accurate information in 2026 following NASA's mission dedicated to its study.
The asteroid Asporina is covered with olivine, a bright green mineral. Its presence in this iron-stone meteorite classifies Asporina as a rare type of pallasite. Meteorites of this class are highly valued among collectors due to their uniqueness and high cost.
Gaspra is composed of various metals and their oxides, giving the asteroid's surface a fascinating mix of hues.

A Chinese startup, Betavolt, has introduced an innovative 'atomic energy battery' that can generate electricity for 50 years without needing recharging or maintenance. This groundbreaking battery, smaller than a coin, marks a significant advancement in the miniaturization of atomic energy. It's designed for various applications, including mobile phones and drones, potentially allowing these devices to operate indefinitely without charging. This development aligns with China's strategic goals under its 14th Five-Year Plan and represents a major leap in energy innovation.

Winds in Antarctica
Temperature is far from the only challenge awaiting the brave souls at the South Pole. Here blow the strongest and most persistent winds on the planet, reaching speeds of 322 km/h (with an average of about 240 km/h)! Moreover, these winds blow almost year-round, hardly ever subsiding. Nowhere else in the world will you encounter such harsh weather conditions.
However, it’s almost always sunny here: due to the cold, the air is very dry (it has the lowest relative humidity on the planet), making this place have the most intense solar radiation on Earth.

Owls have the widest neck rotation range among animals. This remarkable feature stems from the unique articulation of their spine with the skull. Unlike mammals, which typically have two occipital condyles (spherical ends of a bone that fit into a cavity in another bone to form a joint), owls possess only one.
Additionally, birds have a long, flexible neck containing anywhere from 11 to 23 movable vertebrae. An owl's head can swivel approximately 270 degrees in each direction, allowing for a total rotational range of one and a half full turns. This extraordinary neck flexibility is not just a peculiar trait; it's a critical adaptation that allows owls to have a nearly unobstructed view of their surroundings, an essential asset for a predator that hunts primarily at night.
