What happens when bees can’t buzz right? Nature starts falling apart
High heat and heavy metals dampen a bumblebee’s trademark buzz, threatening pollen release and colony chatter. Tiny sensors captured up-to-400-hertz tremors that falter under environmental stress, raising alarms for ecosystems and sparking ideas for pollination robots.

Gray matter abnormalities in sight deprivation and sight restoration - Brain Structure and Function
Blindness provides a unique model for investigating brain plasticity in response to sensory deprivation. While structural changes in both gray and white matter have been widely documented, particularly in cases of early or congenital visual deprivation, gray matter studies have traditionally focused on cortical thickness, often finding cortical thickening in posterior regions. However, other aspects of gray matter integrity, such as cortical myelin content, remain underexplored. In this study, …

Right now, forever, and probably even in my next life, I use Debian, because once you go rock solid, there’s no going back. 😋 :debian:

Yet another sensor failure. They send 6 at a time for a 3 month supply. I am on the last from this batch. They are lasting from 4 to 6 days then failing with "Replace sensor" and error code 365. Only good thing about it is I added almost 3 sensors to my stash and maybe more if this one also dies.
But the annoyance and it failing while out sucks. As well as pulling off a really stuck on sensor since the adhesive has not started to break down yet. So yet another arm hickie…

Studies on the effect of low-fluence proton and neutron irradiation on n-type LGADs
The presented study investigates the effects of low fluences from $5\times10^{12}$ up to $1\times10^{14}$ particles/cm$^{2}$ of 60MeV proton and neutron irradiation on n-type Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (nLGADs). An nLGAD is a silicon sensor with a highly doped gain layer that enables controlled charge multiplication via impact ionization. In contrast to the well-established p-type LGADs for high-energy physics (HEP) applications, nLGADs are optimized for the detection of low-penetrating parti…
