Mycelium grows fast and is incredibly durable, waterproof, non-toxic, fire-resistant, and biodegradable.
Ross uses it to build bricks by growing mycelium in bags of delicious (to mushrooms) sawdust, before drying them out and cutting them with extremely heavy-duty steel blades.
This works because mushrooms digest cellulose in the sawdust, converting it into chitin, the same fiber that insect exoskeletons are made from.
He spent 20 years breeding a super-bee that could survive attacks from mites that kill millions of bees worldwide.
A cancer cell slashed open by an Ion beam (one-time crossword answer).
"Imagine cutting an apple in half and looking at its core – that is a little like what has happened to this metastatic melanoma cell. Nick Moser and Chris Bakal used an ion beam to blast away part of the cell, a technique known as ion-beam milling."
The triangular shape was caused by the angle of the beam as it cut into the cell and the silica substrate it is growing on, creating the illusion of depth. The method allows researchers to see inside cancerous cells in unprecedented detail and understand what is going on internally.
As melanoma cells attach to surfaces using structures called focal adhesions, removing part of the cell lets them see what happens when these structures form. The spread of cancers around the body is the primary cause of death from the diseases, so understanding how such cells attach to tissues is vital to cutting death rates."

I just read that air fryers are Easy Bake Ovens for adults and now I need to have one.
PLACES I WILL NEVER VISIT

Pillars of light were spotted in the sky over Russia, a rare phenomenon caused by frost and columnar ice crystals suspended in the air.

FEATS I CAN NOT OR WILL NOT DUPLICATE
love of children, awe at science, and because I am more than half deaf
Notice that the woman next to the man realizes what is happening and could have reacted faster but instead, she just points out the danger and does nothing.
"Attention! Attention! This here kitchen is closed."
RIP: The man who bent light.
Narinder Singh Kapany, inventor of fiber optics. In 1953, he designed, manufactured a glass wire capable of transporting light, which he later coined fiber optics, an invention that has transformed all our lives.

Dear Ralph. I don't agree with any of your politics, though I do enjoy your blog. One observation I must make. The Democrats will change nothing as regards a [free] National Health Service. To support them on the basis of their attitude to health policy seems insane to me. They are every bit as corrupt and wrong headed as the Republicans. Mike
the fourth is the odd one, since it is not a fruit.
Pineapple, banana, kiwifruit, potato
The unscrambled words to the puzzle are:
PINEAPPLE
BANANA
KIWIFRUIT
POTATO
Potato would seem to be least like the others as it is a vegetable.
Robin.
Puzzle:..
Pineapple, banana, kiwifruit, potato
First three are fruits, but a potato is a vegetable.
A12: that would be called a parabola
