This also means you can send an edited Office file in a reply without having to download and reattach the new version....

Flavor, defined by scientists as the interaction between aroma and taste, is chemically complex. The sugars, acids, and bitter compounds in food interact with the taste receptors on our tongues to invoke taste, while volatile compounds that interact with olfactory receptors in our noses are responsible for aroma. Breeding for flavor is a difficult task for many different reasons. For one, fruit and vegetable plant breeding programs need to improve several different traits that appeal to both producers and consumers....

The subsequent cooling of the planet from this molten state, and the crystallization of these magma oceans into solid rock, was a defining stage in the assembly of our planet’s structure, the chemistry of its surface, and the formation of its early atmosphere. These primeval rocks, containing clues that might explain Earth’s habitability, were assumed to have been lost to the ravages of plate tectonics. But now, my team has discovered the chemical remnants of Earth’s magma oceans in 3....

Let users control more of their data Anjana Susarla, Professor of Information Systems, Michigan State University Social media sites like Facebook are designed for constant interaction to engage users’ attention.

To halt the spread of the virus, face masks have become compulsory in many countries.

Sure, a founder must believe in the product. However, it’s not about unique technology but more about convincing customers that their old pattern is less convenient. That is easy enough to do at the later stages with the positive unit economy in hand. But what about early-stage startups that cannot yet demonstrate digitized metrics? Traction at early stages Typically, traction includes the following metrics: ARPPU (average revenue per paying user) DAU or MAU (total number of daily or monthly active users) MRR (monthly revenue and monthly recurring revenue) dynamics Dynamics of contract sales (bookings)...

The satellite internet constellation aims to provide low-cost internet to remote locations, but it’s producing some alarming side effects. Here are the biggest problems posed by the SpaceX network, from spoiling views to damaging the ozone layer. Causing collision threats SpaceX recently fired the 2,000th Starlink satellite into orbit. The vast number of these devices has raised concerns of collisions with other objects in space. The issue caused uproar in China after the Tiangong space station reportedly had two near misses involving the satellites....

Bitcoin relies on a network of millions of specialist machines, known as miners, around 70% of which are currently based in China. Like a never-ending game of Hungry Hippos, each player hammers their mining machines 24/7 to try and scoop up as many bitcoins as possible. With only a few hippos, it’s easy for everyone to be a winner. But with around 2.5 million miners chasing an ever-shrinking number of prizes, the game is becoming increasingly difficult....
