SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED AN ANTIBODY THAT CAN TAKE OUT ALL COVID‑19 VARIANTS

Like the SEAL Team 6 of infectious disease antibodies, all COVID‑19 variants better watch out.

How The Merge Will Slash Ethereum's Climate Pollution | The Verge

HOW THE MERGE WILL SLASH ETHEREUM'S CLIMATE POLLUTION

Not every crypto bro is brave enough to admit this, but we think it's okay to admit, embrace, and then move on to finding a solution: The Ethereum blockchain is an energy hog. Again, perfectly fine to admit, no one is judging you for hodling a handful of ETH (full disclosure: The author of this newsletter has 10 ETH, bought low years ago. Humblebrag.) Luckily, the upcoming Merge could help slash the blockchain's impact on the climate. The Verge

Fun Fact: Your Eyes Move Along With Your Dreams — At Least In Mice | Inverse

FUN FACT: YOUR EYES MOVE ALONG WITH YOUR DREAMS — AT LEAST IN MICE

In a recent study, researchers found that the eye movements you make while you sleep may reflect where you're looking in your dreams. So, if you're ever staring at a loved one while they sleep (either creepily, lovingly, or both), see how their eyes move then, when they wake up, ask them what they dreamt about, tell them you watched them sleeping for hours, and while you're sleeping on the couch that night, try and figure out if their eyes could have actually moved with how they might have moved in their dream. Because science! Inverse

FUNCTIONAL AND FASHIONABLE BIKE HELMETS FOR THE MODERN CYCLIST

Ride with confidence with these modern bike helmets that make safety feel stylish. Meet Thousand, Named after the 1,000 lives they hope to save by encouraging people to wear helmets. Not only are they safe and stylish, but they're also science-backed. Research shows that the majority of bike accidents occur by falling at an angle. Thousand's helmets use MIPs, aka multi-impact protection systems, to reduce rotational motion and protect from any angle. They also donate a percentage of profits to value-based causes, improved internal hiring to focus on diversity, and reduce carbon emissions by participating in reforestation, all while accomplishing their main mission of improving safety for cyclists.

DISCOVERY OF AN ALIEN WORLD WITH STRANGE, TILTED ORBIT PUZZLES ASTRONOMERS

From the article, because they can explain it better than we ever could: "The orbit of an exoplanet [GJ 896Ab] around a star in a binary star system has been portrayed in three dimensions for the first time. The planet orbits its star at a different angle to the plane of the orbit of the two stars, and the misalignment could offer clues as to how planets form in binary systems." Crazy, right? Space.com
