🕷️ Zombie Spiders?🍄
A newly discovered fungus, *Gibellula attenboroughii*, infects cave-dwelling spiders, controlling their behavior before they die. Named after Sir David Attenborough, it joins the ranks of mind-controlling fungi like *Ophiocordyceps*. Nature is wild!

Did you know that animals can use the earth’s magnetic field for orientation?🦅🐒
One of the most interesting science facts for students is that animals use the earth’s magnetic field for orientation.
The US Geological Survey states that evidence shows some animals like salmon or sea turtles can sense the earth’s magnetic field and might use it for navigation.
It might appear to be science fiction but it’s one of the most interesting facts about the earth you’ll read.

Cold Medicine or Placebo?😷
Recent studies show that popular decongestants like phenylephrine may be no more effective than a placebo. Yet, the placebo effect itself can provide reál symptom relief, proving how powerful the mind-body connection is in healing. 💊

🔬 Results: Hydrogen Production with Microalgae🌿⚡
One of my most exciting findings relates to the hydrogen production capability of the Scenedesmus obtusiusculus algae. Under anaerobic conditions, during direct photolysis, hydrogen production peaked within 96 hours, especially at high cell concentrations (10⁷ cells/ml).
This result confirms that microalgae can efficiently produce biohydrogen, a clean and sustainable energy source. The next step is optimizing these processes for industrial applications.
The future of green energy lies in microscopic powerhouses! 🌱💡

Earth’s most famous killer asteroid came from the outer reaches of the solar system, researchers report in the Aug. 16 Science.
About 66 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into the sea just off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, forming the Chicxulub crater. That powerful impact may have triggered a mass extinction event on Earth, killing off more than 60 percent of the planet’s species, including all nonbird dinosaurs (SN: 1/25/17). The impact left geochemical fingerprints, such as elevated levels of the element iridium, in a thin layer of rock found in multiple countries around the globe (SN: 9/8/84).

In the quest to build a quantum internet, scientists are putting their memories to the test. Quantum memories, that is.
Quantum memories are devices that store fragile information in the realm of the very small. They’re an essential component for scientists’ vision of quantum networks that could allow new types of communication, from ultra-secure messaging to linking up far-flung quantum computers (SN: 6/28/23). Such memories would help scientists establish quantum connections, or entanglement, throughout a network (SN: 2/12/20).

Did you know that rosemary water or tea one of the most healthy drink?
You can drink it for bacterial infections, and skip the antibiotic treatment (if you have light infection, that’s not a treatment for every disease!)!

Today I read an article about how scientists used radioactive beams to treat tumors with millimeter precision, in MICE. This could significantly improve cancer treatment, especially in sensitive areas near vital organs. That can save a lot of people!!
