📵 New laws proposed by the Australian Government would force social media platforms to offer an opt-out for algorithmic feeds, as part of draft legislation released for "targeted consultation" today. The laws aim to "put the onus on digital service providers to provide a safe online environment, setting minimum standards for the features and tools they use." Digital services will also be required to protect under-18s from harmful content, including content related to eating disorders, misogyny, pornography, crime, dangerous stunts, abuse and bullying.

I still remember the first time someone told me Saturn could float. I laughed… until I learned the science behind it. That moment changed more than my understanding of planets—it changed the way I think about first impressions. Have you ever heard a fact that stayed with you for years? #ScienceFacts #Curiosity

The Galileo spacecraft studied Jupiter’s atmosphere and revealed numerous large thunderstorms many times larger than those on Earth, with lightning strikes up to 1,000 times more powerful than Earth lightning. Galileo studied the planet’s clouds and winds and furthered scientists’ understanding of how Jupiter evolved. The same spacecraft also observed comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact Jupiter. (continued)

Paleohistology is a highly specialized field within paleontology that studies ancient fossilized tissues such as bone, cartilage, and teeth, using techniques such as thin sectioning, histological staining, and microscopy (for cellular structures). By analyzing the microstructure of fossilized tissues, paleohistologists can provide a very wide variety of insights from extinct organisms (continued)

Why do we perceive objects in different colors? The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and scatters light. Most objects scatter light to some degree and do not reflect or transmit light specularly like glasses or mirrors. An opaque object does not allow light to transmit through and instead absorbs or reflects the light it receives. (continued)

Neuroplasticity describes the brain’s ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from its prior state. The brain reorganizes and grows new neural connections in response to learning new skills, experiencing environmental changes, recovering from injuries, or adapting to sensory or cognitive deficits.

The most ductile and malleable metal is gold. It can be drawn into a wire of single-atom width, and then stretched considerably before it breaks. A single gram of gold can be beaten into an 11 sq ft sheet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become semi-transparent. Gold semi-transparent sheets reflect infrared light, making them useful as heat shields in spacesuit visors. (continued)

What is a keystone species? A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large effect on its natural environment relative to its abundance. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. The role that a keystone species plays in its ecosystem is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. (continued)

What is significant about the speed of light? The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second, denoted as c – a universal physical constant. The speed of light in vacuum is the upper limit for the speed at which information, matter, or energy can travel through space. c is not just the speed of light, it is finite, and is considered a universal speed limit for all matter or information.

What is trace evidence in forensic science? Trace evidence occurs when objects make contact, and material is transferred. This type of evidence may not even be visible to the naked eye and requires specific tools and techniques to be located and obtained. Microscopic hair and dead skin cells can be collected, as well as droplets of blood, saliva, or semen for DNA evidence. Fingerprints can (continued)

In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living organisms. The body’s ability to maintain homeostasis is a critical function. The body has many aspects that it maintains using homeostatic control mechanisms including: optimal temperature, fluid balance, cerebrospinal fluid, pH of extracellular fluid, concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium (continued)

The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) was a time interval during the Earth’s Paleoproterozoic era (2,500 to 1,600 million years ago) when the Earth experienced a rise in the concentration of free oxygen from practically none. The GOE is inferred to have been caused by cyanobacteria, which evolved chlorophyll-based photosynthesis that releases dioxygen as a waste byproduct of water photolysis. (continued)

Is the placebo effect real? A placebo is a medicine or treatment intended to appear genuine, but actually have no pharmaceutical effect, such as inert sugar pills. The placebo effect is a genuine psychobiological phenomenon in which the mere expectation of improvement from a placebo can lead to some actual physiological changes. (continued)
