Researchers hope they may have solved the “tunnel boom” problem as they prepare to roll out China’s latest prototype magnetic levitation train. The newest version of the maglev train is capable of travelling at 600km/h (about 370mph). However, the train’s engineers have wrestled with the problem of the shock waves which occur as the train exits the mouth of a tunnel. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/07/maglev-train-researchers-may-have-solved-tunnel-boom-shock-waves

Autophagy, meaning "self-eating," is a natural cellular process in which the body recycles damaged components and proteins, particularly during fasting or periods of low nutrient intake. This biological cleanup mechanism plays a key role in maintaining cellular health by breaking down and removing dysfunctional parts before they accumulate and cause harm. Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2016 for his groundbreaking work in discovering the genes behind this essential process. Beyond its cellular housekeeping role, autophagy has been linked to longevity and disease prevention. Studies suggest that activating autophagy through intermittent fasting or caloric restriction may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s. As scientists continue to explore this powerful process, autophagy is emerging as a cornerstone of preventive health strategies and age-related disease research. #Autophagy #CellularHealth #FastingBenefits @Credits Engineering Facts - FB

Level Up Your Blender Skills for Second Life: Two Add-ons You Need to Know About At Wiply, we're not just a platform; we're a community. We believe in helping our creators grow and succeed, and that means sharing the tools and knowledge that can elevate your designs. If you're a Second Life designer using Blender, you know that great UV mapping is the secret to perfect textures. So, we've found two fantastic add-ons that can make your life a whole lot easier. 1. UV Squares: For a Clean, Distortion-Free Grid Have you ever spent ages manually adjusting your UVs to get a perfectly straight grid, only to have your texture look stretched or warped? UV Squares is here to solve that problem. This simple but powerful add-on takes any selection of faces and instantly turns them into a uniform square grid. Why this is a game-changer for SL designers: Fixes Bad UVs in a Click: It automatically corrects distorted UVs, ensuring your textures are applied evenly and without unsightly stretching. Saves Hours of Tedious Work: Stop wrestling with vertices. This tool automates a time-consuming part of the UV process, so you can focus on the fun part—creating! Perfect for Clothes and Flat Surfaces: If you’re making clothing, rugs, or any object where a perfectly straight texture is a must, this tool is your best friend. https://github.com/Radivarig/UvSquares?tab=readme-ov-file 2. Mio3 UV: The Ultimate UV Toolkit If UV Squares is the scalpel, Mio3 UV is the entire surgical kit. This comprehensive add-on is a treasure trove of tools designed to streamline and improve every step of your UV unwrapping workflow. Why Mio3 UV is a must-have: Advanced Unwrapping & Alignment: It includes functions to straighten edge loops, normalize UV sizes, and perfectly align your islands. No more manually nudging every single vertex. Symmetry Made Simple: Easily symmetrize your UVs for character models or anything that requires perfect left/right symmetry. Better Texture Preview: The add-on includes a built-in checkered map and padding guidelines, helping you visualize your textures and avoid issues like texture bleed before you even leave Blender. https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/mio3-uv/ Our Commitment to You These two add-ons are just a couple of the many amazing resources available to help you on your creative journey. At Wiply, we're always on the lookout for tools and tips that can help you work smarter, not harder. We're proud to support a community of creators who are constantly learning and growing. We can't wait to see what you create with these tools! Want to share your own favorite Blender tips? Let us know in the comments!

🔊 Ever wondered how sound actually travels? It’s not just a "wave"—it’s a pulsating bubble of energy! 🌐 This mind-blowing graphic breaks it down: sound expands spherically as compressions and rarefactions, moving at 761 mph at sea level (but slows to 684 mph at Everest’s peak!). The math? A simple sine wave equation captures its rhythm: x(t) = A sin(2πt/T + φ). 🤯 From sonic events to wavelengths, sound is pure physics magic! What’s the loudest sound you’ve ever heard? Drop it in the comments, and let’s see how many sound enthusiasts are out there! 🔉 Share this with your science-loving friends—let’s make some noise together! #SoundScience #PhysicsFacts #MindBlown #engineering #science
