With striking high-speed video footage, scientists have for the first time detailed how predatory mosquito larvae attack and capture prey in aquatic habitats. Published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, this new research sheds light on behavior that has long proven too small and too fast to study, until now. In this video, a Psorophora ciliata larva strikes a prey larva via a sudden neck extension to launch its head away from its body and toward the prey. Read more.

After more than three years circling the Earth, the Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 mission has come to an end following a fiery reentry. The satellite was an important tech demo for the idea of solar sailing, which could eventually propel spacecraft to other stars. LightSail 2 was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in June 2019, settling into an initial orbit at an altitude of around 720 km (450 miles). At that height, the Earth’s atmosphere is still thick enough to create drag, which would threaten to eventually pull the spacecraft down. But that’s where the plucky little satellite’s special ability came in. Although it’s only the size of a shoebox, LightSail 2 unfurled a big reflective sheet, called a solar sail, about the size of a boxing ring. The idea is that photons from sunlight strike this sail and generate tiny amounts of thrust, allowing the craft to change its orbit. And LightSail 2 demonstrated this concept beautifully. In three and a half years, the

Cell Cell is the basic Unit of Life. Cell was first observed in the crok in 1665 by the scientists namly Rebort Hook. Cell is basic Structural, functional and Biological Unit of Life. All the basic functions of the life first inatated in the Protoplasm of the cell. Cell is the site where all the functions as well as reactions of life where are inatated. Cell is the also provides potential of the living action, trnasfer of genetic information form on generation to the next generation. Actions of potential of Muscle, Endocrine , etc also take lpace in the cytoplasm of the cell. Components of the cell: The Basic structure of the cell are as under: 1. Cell Membrane or Plasma membrane. 2. Cytoplasm. 3. Nucleus. The cell membrane is the Non living component of the cell. While cytoplasm and Nucleus are the living component of the cell. The cytoplasm and the nucleus of the cell are known as Protoplasm of the cell.  Cell May be very from size, shape and Number. The smaller cell is found in the
