Turbulent systems are chaotic by nature. But mathematicians just proved that they actually conform to a simple universal law. https://t.co/sZNPfRhB4a

Terahertz waves (THz) sit between microwaves and infrared in the light frequency spectrum, but due to their low-energy scientists have been unable to harness their potential.
The conundrum is known in scientific circles as the terahertz gap.
Being able to detect and amplify THz waves (T-rays) would open up a new era of medical, communications, satellite, cosmological and other technologies.
One of the biggest applications would be as a safe, non-destructive alternative to X-rays.

A research team including 245 undergraduates has published an encyclopedia of more than 1,000 genes, including 421 genes whose functions were previously unknown. The research, conducted in fruit flies, should be useful to scientists studying genes involved in sleep, vision, memory, and others. - science

Discarded cigarette butts continue to emit nicotine and other toxic substances into air for several days after a cigarette has been extinguished, new study shows. The findings indicate that non-smokers could be exposed to higher levels of nicotine than currently estimated. - science

Sociable people have a higher abundance of certain types of gut bacteria and also more diverse bacteria. Research found that both gut microbiome composition and diversity were related to differences in personality, including sociability and neuroticism. - science
