    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…

      Indian-origin researcher discovers new hardware bug in Apple M1 chip

       Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), including Indian-origin Joseph Ravichandran, have identified a new hardware vulnerability in Apple’s in-house silicon M1 chip that powers Macs. The threat, dubbed ‘PACMAN’ by PhD student Ravichandran, enables attackers to stop the M1 chip from detecting software bug attacks. The M1 chip uses a feature called ‘Pointer Authentication’, which acts as a last line of defence against typical software vulnerabilities. With ‘Pointer Authentication’ enabled, bugs that normally could compromise a system or leak private information are stopped dead in their tracks. Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory found a crack as their novel hardware attack, called ‘PACMAN’ showed that ‘Pointer Authentication’ can be defeated without even leaving a trace.…
