Feather-legged lace weaver spider kills prey by covering it with toxic silk

A research team has found that a common spider kills its prey with poison but does not inject it into them—instead, it covers them with a web of silk and then covers the silk with regurgitated toxins. In their study published in the journal BMC Biology, the group collected several spider samples to study under a microscope in their lab and observed as the spiders killed prey.

A Better Way to Turn Solar Sails

A Better Way to Turn Solar Sails

Solar sails are space's ultimate free ride, they get their propulsion from the Sun, so they don't need to carry propellant, but they come with their own challenges. A sail has a large surface area but a low mass, which creates a huge moment of inertia and makes it difficult to control, especially with reaction wheels. A team of engineers have cracked it though with "smart mirrors" that can instantly switch their reflectivity on command, transforming sunlight from an unruly force into a precision steering tool.

Webb Sees the Galaxies that Cleared Out the Cosmic Fog

The early universe was shrouded in darkness. Just hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, a thick fog of hydrogen gas choked the cosmos, blocking light from traveling far. At some point, this gas became ionized, stripped of its electrons. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have identified the culprit: low-mass starburst galaxies emitting huge amounts of ultraviolet light. In just one patch of sky. They discovered 83 of these galactic powerhouses in one part of the sky at a time when the Universe was only 800 million years old.

In the face of the Russia-Ukraine war, and Russian President Vladimir Putin's statements regarding the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in that conflict, the question of how to best defend Europe has taken on an urgency not seen since the height of the Cold War.

Cone Caution Archaeologists in Iran have discovered an ancient cone-shaped skull that is believed to have belonged to a teen girl — and there are signs of tragedy in her bones. As Live Science reports, the skull, which was found in a prehistoric burial ground known as Chega Sofla without its corresponding skeleton, shows signs not only of intentional modification, but also possibly fatal blunt force trauma. Dated at roughly 6,200 years old by archaeologists Mahdi Alirezazadeh and Hamed Vahdati Nasab of the Tarbiat Modares University in Teheran, the strange cone shape of the skull appears to be the product of [...]
