Suddenly, forceps emerge, moving towards the creature. As soon as they touch the chunky insect, it hisses and whips its body side-to-side. The peeved individual is a mature larva of the buff-leaf hawkmoth (Phyllosphingia dissimilis), and its irritation is warranted, since the forceps are meant to imitate a predator. In fact, it’s desired. This scene is from a lab where researchers were investigating how the species’ larvae and pupae make their shockingly noisy defense…
Photograph: Nicole KinningThe Home monitor can run wirelessly and charges via a USB-C cable. It relies on your Wi-Fi network to connect to the camera, so while you can carry the monitor around your home, you can’t take it fully “off-grid” or use it outside your home network (not a dealbreaker for many families, but thought it was worth noting).The flexibility does come with some limitations: The battery doesn’t last a full day, so if you’re using it off its charger, you’ll need to power it down when not in use to keep it alive. I found that most days,…
If you’ve never spent time using a curved monitor, it’s easy to assume the design is just a marketing trick. I used to think the same until I started gaming on one myself. Once you’re positioned at the ideal distance and angle, the curve subtly pulls you into whatever you’re playing or watching in a way that a flat screen doesn’t quite match. The viewing experience feels more natural as the display envelopes your view. Curved monitors have come down in price over the last several years, so they’re far more accessible additions to gaming setups today. A great example…
Roman concrete is pretty amazing stuff. It’s among the main reasons we know so much about Roman architecture today. So many structures built by the Romans still survive, in some form, thanks to their ingenious concrete and construction techniques.However, there’s a lot we still don’t understand about exactly how the Romans made such strong concrete or built all those impressive buildings, houses, public baths, bridges and roads.Scholars have long yearned for more physical evidence from Roman worksites to provide clues.

Most VersatilePhotograph: Kristin CanningLifesmartTM2202 3-in-1 TreadmillIf you’re not keen on buying a standing desk, check out the Lifesmart 3-in-1 Treadmill. You can wheel the lightweight machine into any room, place the desk attachment across the handrail, and get to working and walking.

Cephalopod evolution has long had a missing chapter in its story: how did squid-like ancestors give rise to today’s octopuses? The answer, it turns out, was floating in the deep sea all along.With its glowing ghostly eyes, eight arms like its octopus cousins and a dark ruby coloring to match, the elusive vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) has finally revealed its genetic secrets.In a study published Nov. 27 in the journal iScience, researchers sequenced the genome of Vampyrotheuthis and discovered its chromosomes still resemble those of squids and cuttlefish — despite belonging to the octopus order. This discovery hints at what…
