Here's a baby Tasmanian Devil

And although Tasmanian Devils have been dying from a very strange contagious cancer called "devil facial tumor disease" there's hope for this little one. A vaccine could be on the way. It's a fascinating story and breakthrough, and a recommended read especially if you are interested in immunology. Read more here:

The leaf cycle

During the spring and summer leaves serve as factories where most of the foods necessary for the tree's growth are manufactured. The process, known as photosynthesis; takes place in the leaf in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green colour. Along with the green pigment are yellow to orange pigments; carotenes and xanthophyll, however most of the year these colours are masked by great amounts of chlorophyll.

In autumn, because of the changes in daylight hours and changes in temperature the leaves stop photosynthesising and hence the chlorophyll breaks down. The green colour disappears, and the yellow and orange colours become visible. At the same time other chemical changes may occur, which form additional colours through the development of red anthocyanin pigments. 

Eventually the tree sheds the leaves to save... more »

GDL: Streaming 4 Shows at Once. No Big Deal.
#io13   #gdl   #developers  

http://developers.google.com/live has been non stop all day. Just wrapped up GDL @ I/O segment number seven, and we've got two more events coming, with a deep dive and demo of Google Play services you won't want to miss, at 6:10, capped with an update on the Google Cloud Platform at 6:40.

And that's.... just... day one. Wait until you see what's coming tomorrow. Here's a hint: +Bradley Horowitz. Wait. That was more than a hint. I'll give you the full agenda tomorrow.

X-ray vision tracks lightning bursts

Researchers in the US have captured the world’s first X-ray images of lightning, by creating a special camera that can capture radiation at 10 million frames per second.

Joseph Dwyer’s team has created a customized camera that has 30 detectors made from a combination of sodium iodide and photomultiplier tubes, each measuring 3 × 3 inch. The device, which is approximately the size of a standard refrigerator, is also equipped with a 3 inch pinhole aperture, and can record X-rays at 10 million frames per second. “This is actually a very old technique for making images, like that seen in a camera obscura,” Dwyer says.

During July and August this year, Dwyer’s team studied four rocket-triggered lightning flashes at the Florida test site. Each flash lasted for approximately two seconds and the resultingsequences ... more »
