Bdelloid rotifers revisited An official website of the United States government

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

A living bdelloid rotifer from 24,000-year-old Arctic permafrost In natural, permanently frozen habitats, some organisms may be preserved for hundreds to tens of thousands of years. For example, stems of Antarctic m…

Volker Abetz et al put RAFT polymerisation of MMA under the microscope and into micro-scale continuous flow reactors.

By combining two glass chip reactors and a coil reactor, from Asynt, they explored countless combinations at speed.

Within arm’s reach: A path forward for robot dexterity Visuotactile pretraining with human data leads to robust manipulation policies trained in simulation.

A new #ScienceRobotics Focus article highlights the merits of a new policy that enables dexterous robotic manipulation and speculates on how future research may enable robots to learn from humans the way a child learns from watching its parents. https://scim.ag/4qaVJZC

anyone wanna trepanate my skull? my entire personhood will be a great fleshlight, I promiseeee

I hate Elon Musk for many reasons, but tonight, I hate him because he somehow managed to make "shoving things in people's skulls" (one of the hottest things ever) gross and bland.

Her tanks shudder gently, quietly, softly enough to be unnoticed against the deafening roar of the machinery.

But she feels you too.

The fresh faced, and young on the scene. The old hands grimace, looking at the new blood with something between sorrow and a smirk.

The young worker tracing their finger up the pipes, over her body for the first time.

Do you realize how many chemical engineers and researchers die to poison, cancer, and other diseases caused by their work?

The old hands warn you.

"It's an occupational hazard."

But there, on life support and in your bed, she's still there. The iron deity, her gift eating your body and stealing the years you thought were yours.

You'd given so many to her.

And she'll take them all.

It doesn't matter.

The angel is patient.

And none leave her garden unscathed.

Her handwriting is etched into your very cells, her poison loving you for decades after you claim your pension and try to leave her.

Her fumes, embracing you, holding you, enveloping you

Eagerly searching every inch of you for a crack, a tear, a small seam through which to ply, and seize, and enter you.

But you remembered to tighten your mask today. You remembered your gloves.

Perhaps another time, another kiss, another day.

You, the worker, who lives and breathes her toxic air. You who inhabit her body each day, whose folds and whose curves constantly beckon you to fall, to trip, to become a part of her-

You, who wears the heaviest gear, and thickest mask

to protect from her deadly touch

An angel whose hands were first held in India.

Whose bolts and fittings were tightened in Singapore.

Whose heart and lungs sailed frigid seas

All for you.

Angels who sing without a face or tongue. Gods who have been touched by a thousand hands, every centimeter of her body hailing from parts sourced from all over the inhabited world~

Great goddesses, and you, engineers and mortals, crawling inside her and tending a garden of pipes and pressures.

The condensation on the pipes. The pipes, surrounded by the flowing gas and liquids and life of a creature that breathes, and burns, and flows, and eats without a mind.

Big girls. Massive, lovely things~

Beautiful angels, and just as one may run their fingers over the pulsing veins on a throat warm and sweaty -

writing practice for the objectum and object erotica girlies. Okay, so you want to fuck an industrial machine. So you're attracted to computers, to wires, to the cold machine whatever. Cool. But have you considered~ CHEMICAL PLANTS?

Throwback to when I used to be hot.

Flippantly adjusting her belt and checking her phone.

She wonders if your sisters will be home later this evening.

She wonders if they will fare any better~🫀
