Eating eggs linked to dangerous heart condition that triggers stroke, new study suggests Daily Mail | July 24, 2026 | Ciaran Foreman
… experts at the Cleveland Clinic in the US have found that those with the life-threatening problem have high levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) – which is produced in the gut in response to certain foods.
TMAO is released during digestion of nutrients like carnitine and choline, which are in foods like beef steak and livers, pork and egg yolks.
Can IMAO sue Science for copyright infringement? The innocent public might think IMAO is released during digestion.
IMAO is just TMAO without the bar at the top — a barless top.
Russian company claims it has put computer chips in cows’ brains to make them produce more milk Not The Bee | June 19, 2026 | Harambe Harambe
Although much of the technology remains speculative, the Russian company Neiry claims to have directly implanted neural devices in the brains of dairy cows…
The company said in its announcement that the cows that received the initial neurostimulation devices ‘remained conscious, felt well, experienced no discomfort, and have already returned to their normal production cycles on the farm.’ It did not detail how the devices were implanted, what research went into designing them or what animal welfare precautions were taken.
More interesting still is just how such a device would affect cows in the first place.
Outrage as scientists push to create ticks that spread red-meat allergies: ‘Isn’t this biological terrorism?’ daily mail
A recently unearthed study has set off a tidal wave of outrage after scientists claimed it was ‘morally’ justifiable to infect people with a virus making them allergic to meat.
Researchers Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth from Western Michigan University published an inflammatory paper in 2025, making the case that society had a moral ‘duty’ to spread ticks that were infected with or engineered to carry alpha-gal syndrome (AGS).
AGS is a real medical condition transmitted to humans through tick bites, causing victims to suffer allergic reactions when eating red meat, including beef, pork and lamb, dairy and other products derived from mammals.
The symptoms can range from a mild case of hives or stomach pain to severe and even life-threatening cases of anaphylaxis – where blood pressure suddenly drops and the person becomes unable to breathe as their airways swell up.
Crutchfield and Hereth claimed that it was morally wrong to eat meat because of the suffering animals endure and the environmental damage that the meat industry allegedly causes.
They argued that the only reason society should not be spreading ticks to infect people with AGS today is that scientists do not currently have an easy and effective way to do it on a large scale.
However, they added: ‘But it is feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If we are right, then today we have the obligation to research and develop the capacity to proliferate tickborne AGS and, tomorrow, carry out that proliferation.’
Their main findings were that promoting genetically modified ticks to spread AGS would make the world better and help people become more ‘virtuous’ by avoiding meat.
They also claimed that this process would not violate anyone’s rights, despite proposing to intentionally infect the population with a life-threatening infection.

Google Reportedly Planning to Release TENS OF MILLIONS of Mosquitoes into Two States to ‘Stop’ Spread of Several Dangerous Diseases The Gateway Pundit | May 30, 2026 | Cullen Linebarger
America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.
As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.

Mars Curiosity Rover Makes a Big Find on the Red Planet Nautilus Magazine | April 23, 2026 | Jake Currie
With all the excitement over sending scientists back to the moon, it’s easy to forget we’ve already got a pair of talented chemists on Mars: the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. …
Now, new research published in Nature Communications details Curiosity’s latest find—never-before-seen organic compounds, including one with a structure similar to DNA precursors. ….
Curiosity extracted samples from clay deposits from Gale crater, broke them down with on-board chemicals, and analyzed them with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. …the rover found more than 20 organic molecules, including some surprising large compounds.
One was a nitrogen-bearing molecule with a structure similar to DNA precursors and another was a benzothiophene, a double-ringed organic molecule containing sulfur, likely brought to the planet via meteorite.
Oklahoma Advances Bill To Turn Dead Humans Into Actual Fertilizer The Daily Caller | March 25, 2026 | Anthony Lafrate
The Oklahoma State House on Tuesday passed a bipartisan bill that would make it legal to use the decomposed and ground-up remains of human corpses as soil fertilizer in the state.
“Grandma Got Run Under By a John Deere . . . “
The legislation, HB 3660, seeks to include so-called “natural organic reduction” (NOR), a common euphemism for human composting, “as a form of cremation” under state law. Oklahoma’s lower chamber passed the bill 59-37, with both Republicans and Democrats voting in favor, prompting a harsh rebuke from one of the GOP lawmakers who opposes the legislation.
“… If this bill is put into law, Oklahoma joins 14 BLUE states that have legalized this process,” Republican Oklahoma State Rep. Jim Shaw wrote in a Tuesday X post. “So, instead of outlawing this type of practice outright, we’re on track to take the use of humanure as fertilizer another disgusting step forward.”
The 14 states that have legalized NOR include Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state.
Meta, YouTube found liable for woman’s debilitating social media addiction in $3M landmark trial NY Post | 3/25/26 | Daniel Farr, Jules Corderoy
Jules Corderoy? You should see my corduroy jewels.
A Los Angeles jury found Wednesday that Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube harmed a young user … a 20-year-old woman who claimed she became dangerously obsessed with the apps at a young age because they were deliberately built to be addictive …
Snap and TikTok were also defendants in the first-of-its-kind trial; however, both settled with the plaintiff before it began.
… she started using social media apps at just 6 years old, and her addiction fueled depression, anxiety and severe mental health struggles, including body dysmorphia and thoughts of self-harm.
Well, yeah, especially after stumbling across IMAO.
Per SciTech Daily, “Scientists Discover Surprising Quantum Properties in Seemingly Ordinary Element,” 2/16/26:
For decades, cobalt has served as a benchmark ferromagnet. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been extensively documented. However, the new findings show that cobalt hosts a rich topological electronic structure that remains stable under everyday conditions, pointing to an unexpected layer of quantum behavior.
…
A defining characteristic of cobalt’s nodal lines is that they are inherently spin-polarized. Because ferromagnetism breaks time-reversal symmetry, . . .
What?
the electronic states forming these lines carry a net spin orientation. By reversing the material’s magnetization direction, researchers can fully flip this spin polarization.
“In certain directions inside the crystal, the nodal lines intersect and cross the Fermi energy where electrons can move freely,” explains Sánchez-Barriga. “Near these crossings, electrons in the material behave like massless, relativistic-like particles, similar to how light behaves, and can travel extremely fast. This is an exceptional behaviour that has never been observed in any elemental ferromagnet before. Moreover, by changing the direction of the magnetic field, it is possible either to open a gap at the crossing or to fully control the spin texture of the nodal lines while retaining the unique properties of the gapless state. This is exactly the kind of switch-on-off functionality sought for practical applications.”
Well, electrons’ spin is linked to their magnetism, electrons can behave like photons, ferromagnetism breaks time-reversal symmetry, and I-Don’t-Know is on third.
Scientists Find Clue to High-Temperature Superconductivity in Quantum Materials Gadgets360 | January 20, 2026
Scientists have recently discovered the underlying hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap phase of a quantum material. The peculiar phase exists immediately above the superconducting transition. The research team employed an ultracold-atom simulator. They were able to detect a hidden antiferromagnetic order even when the material lacked electrons.
This is referred to as doping.
Oh. Which I thought was quite different.
These discoveries are reminiscent of strange occurrences found in ‘spin ice’ magnets. The basic structural units of spin ice crystals are frustrated tetrahedrons of magnetic atoms that do not form a traditional order.
My plan for a government grant: spin some ice made of ultracold atoms into a pseudogap. That should frustrate the hell out of tetrahedrons who were expecting a real gap.
Physicists Accidentally Create Gold from Lead in Large Hadron Collider Experiment britfrief | 01 20 2026
… The extraordinary transformation occurred during experiments where beams of lead nuclei were fired at each other at velocities approaching the speed of light. While the primary goal was to study the primordial state of the universe, the scientists discovered they had created approximately 29 trillionths of a gram of gold as a byproduct of their collisions.
