Lighter, a decentralized exchange (DEX) for perpetual futures trading, made headlines this week with a massive token giveaway. They sent out $675 million worth of Lighter Infrastructure Tokens (LIT) to early users. This ranks as the 10th largest airdrop in crypto history, according to CoinGecko. Th
Lights racing across the night sky in Japan have people talking. A video of these lights has gone viral, with some saying it's proof of aliens. But others think it's something more ordinary, like drones or even just a trick of the light. Japan is no stranger to strange sightings. In fact, the count
Brown algae, those humble sea plants, are more than just seaweed. They are packed with special molecules that could change the game in medicine and health. These molecules, like fucoidans and sterols, are created because brown algae live in tough conditions. They could be the key to new drugs and he
Light sensitivity might seem like a minor issue, but for many older adults, it's a real struggle. A recent study looked into how this sensitivity affects sleep and overall health. The study involved over 400 adults, mostly women, with an average age of 68. Those with known eye conditions were left o
Light is all around us, and scientists are always finding new ways to study it. Recently, they've made a big step forward with tiny lenses that can do what big, bulky machines used to do. These tiny lenses, called metalens arrays, can now look at light in a way that tells us a lot about its properti
Lightning is a serious threat to wind farms. It can cause significant damage. Many studies have been done on the effects of lightning. However, there is a lack of research on how different wind farm layouts affect the severity of lightning-induced overvoltages. This is a crucial gap in knowledge
Light is always on the move. It zooms around at a speed of 186, 000 miles per second. This speed is the same whether it's coming from a star or a flashlight. One evening, a telescope was set up in a backyard in San Diego. It was pointed at a galaxy very far from Earth. The galaxy is called the Pinwh
Brown trout are a fascinating example of how animals change their habits as they grow. This process, called ontogenetic niche shifts, greatly influences how many fish there are and how big they get. But here is the kicker: the environment where they live can limit these changes. To dive into this, a
Lightning is a serious threat to the aviation world. It causes many delays and puts people in danger. It is responsible for keeping planes on the ground and making passengers wait. This is especially true in certain parts of the world. In Southeast Asia, for example, lightning is a big problem.
Brown carbon, a key component of biomass-burning organic aerosols (BBOA), plays a significant role in absorbing sunlight and potentially speeding up global warming. However, the chemical processes that happen within these particles after they absorb light are not yet fully understood. Scientists hav
