I took this short video is Kaohsiung, Taiwan 🇹🇼
It’s extremely dangerous to get this close to them. I got lucky and they were passing me by in a tree quickly when I got this video. I just stood still and observed them.

Damian Stefaniuk is a postdoc at the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub). He works with MIT professors Franz-Josef Ulm and Admir Masic of the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) to investigate multifunctional concrete. Here, he provides an overview of carbonation in cemen...
TLDR: The article discusses a new method to boost the ability of concrete to naturally absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). The research, led by scientists at RMIT University in Australia, focuses on enhancing the carbonation process of concrete, which could ultimately lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Concrete is known for its ability to absorb CO2 over time in a process called carbonation. While this is a natural process, the researchers at RMIT University have developed a technique to increase the speed and amount of CO2 that can be absorbed by the concrete. This is achieved by incorporating industrial waste products, such as silica fume and fly ash, into the concrete mix.

Honey bees and social wasps independently evolved hexagonal cells in their nests, but in some species, cell size dimorphism creates an inherent tiling problem. This study shows that despite independent evolutionary origins, building materials, and comb configurations, all species solve this architec...

Anybody have any tips for me on catching largemouth bass? I know for a fact they are in my pond. The water has maybe a foot of visibility, at least on the shore. I've seen them hit them top and I've heard they'll strike a senko, but I've had no luck. I've tried texas rigs, wacky worms, a top water walker, a frog, and buzz bait and I've not even had a strike in the 7 days I've been out fishing there. What am I doing wrong??
