    How do pollinators get attracted to flowers?

    Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies For our ecology to survive and for food production to occur, pollination is essential. Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies. Brightly coloured petals in hues like yellow, red, and blue are designed to catch the attention of specific pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, each of which may be drawn to different colours. For the male reproductive cells (pollen) to reach the female reproductive parts (ovaries), all seed plants must be pollinated. This preserves genetic variation and enables the plants to generate seeds for species propagation. In order for pollinators to locate them, flowers have evolved to exhibit clues. In addition, pollinators are frequently compensated with nectar for the “service” they render. Many flowers also emit enticing fragrances that signal the presence of nectar, creating an appealing invitation for pollinators to…

      Gaming On Mobile: The Power Conundrum

      Before I dive into this article, I wish to disclose by stating that I just received my Pixel 7 Pro earlier last week and I have been extremely impressed by its performance so far. The software, the gesture-based interfaces, the photography, and the battery life have been top-notch and as I re-adjust to being on a phone envisioned by Google (my last one was a Nexus 5), I am aware that “new device honeymoon” is often a fleeting experience. However, my time with the Pixel has made me wonder what power and benchmarks mean for mobile phones and gaming. Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) on his YouTube channel last week spoke of how he is wary of benchmarking mobile phones and how there is…

      NASA set to break sound barrier again for future air travel

      Washington:NASA aeronautical innovators are poised to break the sound barrier again, this time in a very different way that could make it possible for all of us to one day travel by air just as fast as any of the X-1 pilots who flew supersonic. NASA’s X-59, the centerpiece of the agency’s Quesst mission, will enable commercial supersonic travel over land. Lockheed Martin has designed, built and conducted initial flight tests with the aircraft and the first flight is targeted for 2023. “That first supersonic flight was such a tremendous achievement, and now you look at how far we’ve come since then. What we’re doing now is the culmination of so much of their work,” said Catherine Bahm, an aeronautical engineer…

      Lucy spacecraft set to swing by Earth to reach Jupiter asteroids

      A NASA spacecraft named Lucy, the first mission to the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, will skim the earth’s atmosphere, passing a mere 350 kms above the surface on October 16, to gain some of the orbital energy it needs to travel to this never-before-visited population of asteroids. The Trojan asteroids are trapped in orbits around the Sun at the same distance as Jupiter, either far ahead of or behind the giant planet. Lucy is currently one year into a 12-year voyage and this gravity assist will place it on a new trajectory for a two-year orbit, at which time it will return to Earth for a second gravity assist, NASA said in a statement. This second assist will give Lucy the energy it needs to cross…
