What’s the best thing on my phone? The Merlin Bird ID app. It listens and tells you (with reasonable accuracy) what birds are around you. Recently I heard someone singing who I didn’t immediately recognize, but I thought sounded fluty and musical, like a thrush. Merlin agreed: Swainson’s thrush, a new bird for me. In the olden days, my family had LPs of bird songs. If you listened to it, you’d hear the man’s voice saying the name of the bird, the bird singing, then the name of the next bird, its song, and so forth. I am sure there…

Learning to play music by ear is challenging for most musicians, but research from a team at the University of Waterloo may help musicians-in-training find the right notes. The Waterloo team analyzed a range of YouTube videos that focused on learning music by ear and identified four simple ways music learning technology can better aid prospective musicians — helping people improve recall while listening, limiting playback to small chunks, identifying musical subsequences to memorize, and replaying notes indefinitely. “There are a lot of apps and electronic tools out there to help learn by ear from recorded music,” said Christopher Liscio,…

This Wednesday is a tale of two vibes. The day starts bright and buzzy: the Gemini Moon kisses Jupiter one last time before Jupiter heads into Cancer next month, helping you talk your way into deals, ideas, and maybe even some extra cash. Conversations are sharp, curiosity pays off, and your mind is moving fast. But by afternoon (Moon enters Cancer at 10:35 AM PDT), the energy shifts. Emotions stir. Boundaries blur. You might feel pulled between wanting connection and needing a minute. Don’t ignore your gut, especially when it tells you to log off and recharge. Daily Horoscope for…

A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. Tiny particles found in exhaust fumes, wildfire smoke and other forms of airborne pollution are linked with serious health conditions such as stroke, heart disease and cancer, but predicting how they move is notoriously difficult, researchers say. Now, scientists have developed a new computer modelling approach that dramatically improves the accuracy and efficiency of simulating how so-called nanoparticles behave in the air. In practice, this could mean simulations that currently can take weeks to run could be completed…

The Toothpick Company turns fungi into bioherbicide to fight Striga, a devastating “master weed” that has devastated an estimated 40 million farms in Africa. KAKAMEGA, Kenya— When Lillian Makokha’s farm revealed its curse, it came in the form of fuschia-purple flowers—a plant known as oluyongo or kayongo in western Kenya. These flowers have been around since Makokha was born, but recently they’ve far surpassed other pests and diseases in their destructiveness. In 2019, her 3.5-acre plot, which should have produced up to 25 90-kilogram bags of maize per acre, produced only six. It wasn’t enough to feed her eight-person household,…
