The pangolin is an absurd animal, a mammal dressed up as a reptile with scales, sharp claws and sticky saliva. Wildlife experts often say they are the world’s most trafficked mammal, as poachers target pangolins for meat and their scales, which are used in traditional medicine. There are eight species, all with different levels … Read more
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. It’s been nearly eight years since the last state-sanctioned bear hunt, and Franklin County Sheriff AJ Smith said Florida needs to find solutions as animal-human encounters increase. We have to look at some different ways of doing things, Smith told The News Service of Florida on Monday. In recent weeks, a woman … Read more
South Africa probably has the greatest human genetic diversity on Earth, and new research shows that diversity is in better shape than previously thought. When some of the languages of the Namibian desert died out, anthropologists feared that the populations that spoke them would disappear too, but new research shows that people have retained … Read more

A novel technique for broadband achromatic and polarization insensitive metalens (BAPIML) has been introduced to combat the chromatic aberration found in standard metals. The method uses the Rayleigh criterion for spot resolution and phase change material nanofins. This development holds the potential for advanced optical and imaging applications. Using novel differential design principles, researchers propose … Read more
