Certainly nobody would be tempted to misuse it, for murder, for political power, or worse." “Technology allows them to participate in society through ‘threeps’ – android bodies. Think about ‘Don’t You Forget about Me’ and immediately you’re transported. I want that sort of thing for my books, too.” Scalzi says he’s been a fan of musicianBeckett’s work for a while now....

The researchers also found adware andransomwaremasquerading as the film. In addition, the researchers found a number of phishing websites offering streams of theBond movie. But after registration is complete, Kaspersky says the viewer can’t continue watching. The shift of many movie premieres to legitimate streaming sites has only boosted that. And cybercriminals are eager to capitalize on long-awaited premieres of movies like No Time to Die, she says.

Imagine a microscopic robot propelled by undulating hairs moving through your stomach to deliver medication to diseased cells. That’s the kind of future researchers at ETH Zurich hope to manifest with their latest creation. The rapid beating of the cilia creates a minuscule vortex in front of and behind the robot. The research was led by Daniel Ahmed, a professor of acoustic robotics for life sciences and healthcare. “Our vision is to use ultrasound for propulsion, imaging and drug delivery,” Ahmed said....

The research team dated the glacier ice to 15,000 years ago and discovered genetic codes for 33 viruses. Four of those were known to science and at least 28 were novel, or previously unknown. There’s precedent for the discovery of long-frozen viruses.Scientists famously revived a giant 30,000-year-old virusfound in Siberian permafrost. That virus targeted only amoebas. The researchers were able to analyze the ice cores with an “ultra-clean” method that avoided contamination....

Between solar systems and black holes are vast regions of darkness. Researchers detail these isolated orbsin a study Wednesday in the journal Nature Astronomy. Despite the planets' proximity to such stellar forces, they don’t orbit a star of their own. They don’t watch the seasons pass and can’t feel any sort of warmth. Some speculate the planets could’ve been knocked out of their parent system. Others suspect they formed from the collapse of a gas cloud too small to offer a star companion....

What were those weird, tentacle-y things? AnMBARI statementon Tuesday cleared it up. Those animals were spaghetti worms. Spaghetti worms are known by their scientific name of Biremis. The specimens spotted by an MBARI remote-operated vehicle turned out to be a new species. The bottom-dwelling worms have mostly been spotted at depths greater than 6,600 feet (2,000 meters). Previously, they had only been found in the Bahamas. They use their tentacles to trap food particles....

The first ever description of the snake clitoris has been made by researchers in Australia and the US. Previous research had misidentified the hemiclitoris in snakes as either hemipenes or scent glands. Two female death adders were key specimens, helping to fully elucidate the structure. But why did it take so long to find the snake clitoris? For one, snake genitalia is mostly hidden within the tail. Folwell and the teamrecently discussed these challenges in a June review paper....

How many spiders can you name? Spider #50,000 is Guriurius minuano, a jumping spider from South America. Jumping spiders are charismatic creatures that are about as cuddly looking as spiders can get. A team of researchers described Guriurius minuano in astudy published in Zootaxathis week. The museum traces the first scientifically described spider to 1757. The museum thinks it will only take about 100 years to sort out the as-yet-unknown spiders of the world....
