Science!

Not a new development, but I'd never seen this particular application before.

Really? Because there's a whole bunch of Satisfying Restoration Videos that include laser cleaning.

Nice OnlyFans. :V

The main thing was I'd never seen it used for wood before, which is a rather more sensitive application than on metal. But it's okay, cos I don't mind getting Satisfying Restoration Videos!

He didn't repack the grease in the oscillator housing though. Bruh, wtf. >:[

Neat science project.

Sorry. SCIENCE project.

Are they trying to get DIO? Because this is how you get DIO.

I vaguely suspect a prankster is involved in this find

(deep growl) NANI?!

SIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

(Also I am expecting joke versions where it plays the Dr. Who theme in an hour. Ago.)

What I'm hearing is that Stanley Kubrick was onto something.

That silence at the end where they end the track is way more unsettling than the drone and hum and rumble of plasma and space borborygmi

More good news out of the White House:

Breakthroughs for All: Delivering Equitable Access to America’s Research

Looking forward, there are two important ways in which we will build on the 2013 Memorandum and usher in the next chapter of federal public access:

1. Eliminating the optional 12-month publication embargo for federally funded peer-reviewed research articles. This provision has limited immediate equitable access of federally funded research results to only those able to pay for it or have privileged access through libraries or other institutions. Financial means and privileged access must never be the pre-requisite to realizing the benefits of federally funded research that all Americans deserve.

2. Strengthening the data sharing plans of the 2013 Memorandum by making data published in peer-reviewed research articles immediately available upon publication and other research data available within a reasonable timeframe. As President Biden has said when he was Vice President, data from federally funded research belong to the American public. Providing the data that support findings in scientific papers improves transparency and the ability of others to replicate, and build on, the primary research findings. Public access to federally funded research data also helps to level the playing field across a highly uneven funding landscape between academic disciplines – providing possibilities to scholars, students, and the public for secondary use of data that would otherwise be unavailable. The new guidance makes clear that responsible sharing of data requires agencies to ensure that privacy and security protections are maintained.

Man, that's the kind of stuff that can get overlooked so easily, low key but actually really important. Great change.

If we're sticking with Greek mythology names, which I guess we're not given the names of the rest but stay with me here, I nominate Ladon.

'Dinosaur mummy': Researchers believe they've found one of the best preserved dinosaurs ever

"It's so well preserved you can see the individual scales, we can see some tendons and it looks like there's going to be skin over the entire animal," Brian Pickles, a paleontologist and ecology professor at the University of Reading, told USA TODAY. "Which means, if we're really lucky, then some of the other internal organs might have preserved as well."

If the remains are in as good of shape as Pickles hopes, it would be one of the best preserved dinosaur fossils ever discovered and would provide scientists with a clearer picture of what the dinosaur looked like when it roamed the Earth.

In the best case scenario, the creature's stomach contents might be preserved, allowing scientists to determine the animal's last meal, Pickles said.

First ever attempt to change the course of an asteroid to see if we can use this method to protect Earth.
