psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

Without looking it up, guess where this quote is from!
"It is said that to explain is to explain away. This maxim is nowhere so well fulfilled as in the area of computer programming, especially in what is called heuristic programming and artificial intelligence.
For in those realms machines are made to behave in wondrous ways, often sufficient to dazzle even the most experienced observer.
But once a particular program is unmasked, once its inner workings are explained in language sufficiently plain to induce understanding, its magic crumbles away."

A protective shield at the Chornobyl nuclear plant in war-torn Ukraine,
built to contain radioactive material from the 1986 disaster,
can no longer perform its main safety function
due to drone damage,
the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Friday,
a strike Ukraine has attributed to Russia.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said an inspection last week of the steel confinement structure completed in 2019
found the drone impact in February, three year…

Lineages of carnivorous mammals that established on new continents diversified faster— even before they moved into new territory. That suggests those lineages have diversified specifically because they're better competitors https://doi.org/10.1086/738413
