Edonia grabs €2M to turn microalgae into less bitter-tasting ground meat alternative | TechCrunch
The company produces plant-based ingredients from spirulina or chlorella biomass that it claims is more nutritious than meat.

Extinction values towards embedded planets in protoplanetary disks estimated from hydrodynamic simulations
The upcoming new coronographs with deeper contrast limits, together with planned and current high-contrast imaging campaigns will push the detectability limit of protoplanets. These planet-hunting campaigns present a new opportunity to characterize protoplanets and their surrounding environments. However, there are clear uncertainties as to what are the extinction levels at different regions of protoplanetary disks, which will impede our ability to characterize young planets. A correct understa…

Introducing two improved methods for approximating radiative cooling in hydrodynamical simulations of accretion discs
The evolution of many astrophysical systems depends strongly on the balance between heating and cooling, in particular star formation in giant molecular clouds and the evolution of young protostellar systems. Protostellar discs are susceptible to the gravitational instability, which can play a key role in their evolution and in planet formation. The strength of the instability depends on the rate at which the system loses thermal energy. To study the evolution of these systems, we require radia…

How nice: a plan to collect 1 Mt in macroplastic from the ocean by 2050.
Too bad the USA increased the *yearly* production and export of its primary ingredient by *30 times* that amount in a couple years.

Atmospheric Waves Driving Variability and Cloud Modulation on a Planetary-Mass Object
Planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs at the transition from relatively red L dwarfs to bluer mid-T dwarfs $\left(\rm{T}_{eff}\sim1300 \ \text{K} \right)$ show enhanced spectrophotometric variability. An open question is whether this variability is caused by atmospheric planetary-scale (Kelvin or Rossby) waves or by large spots associated with the precipitation of silicate and metal clouds. We applied both waves and spotted models to fit near-infrared (NIR), multi-band ($Y$/$J$/$H$/$K$) photo…
