Set Break: Kirigami antenna: flexible electronics for reflecting microwaves

Modern electronics tend to rely on two-dimensional coatings

Kirigami-inspired parallel cuts in a plastic circuitboard allowed the circuit to take different shapes based on strain

The circuit reflected microwaves differently based on its strain!

Ancient 3D paper art, kirigami, could shape modern wireless technology

Set Break: How do pathogens replace each other? It depends how long we are immune

In some cases, pathogens REPLACE one another entirely; in others, they co-circulate

If people don't keep their immunity for long, diseases tend to co-circulate with multiple variants at once

Set Break: Bigger droplets of water mist can help a tomato plant grow strong against predators

Even when the water didn't drip down to the roots, bigger droplets increased hormones involved in plant defenses, helping tomatoes resist moth larvae and mold

Reduced emission of volatile organic compounds --> less attractive as an egg-laying bed!

But, no effect on fruit

Good morning DJ AskTheQuestion! Loved the Port Said piece.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:20:27 AM
Good morning Amy! Let the fuzz shake you into alertness
Dale Hazelton 7:36:29 AM
late good morning.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:39:57 AM
Hi there Dale! Welcome
TAndy 7:44:48 AM
Heya. Really beautiful song to wake up to.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:45:24 AM
I heard Love, Claire on Deirdre's show a few weeks ago and got hooked
Amy Lee 7:48:29 AM
Laika!!
Dale Hazelton 8:16:59 AM
i came down with a cold or flu or covid a couple of days ago. damn apple pickers and leaf peepers have invaded this region with their snotty kids.
TAndy 8:18:15 AM
Whatever cold-like bug is going around now is exactly what I had a couple of months ago. Bad enough that I legit felt sick and had e fever, but not bad enough to keep me bedridden. Just barely able to function, not fun LOL
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:23:29 AM
Noooo your immunity wavered :( :( :(
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:24:15 AM
Was talking at a conference last week about measles wiping out your immune system. Someone said that it was like "sudo rm -f *" on your system memory and that made me real sad
Dale Hazelton 8:24:18 AM
TAndy, thanks for the reminder to check.100.5 here. i'm usually 97.9 or so.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:24:39 AM
Hope you feel better soon Dale! sounds rough over there.
Dale Hazelton 8:25:28 AM
askthequestion - and it's my wife's vacation and we had day trips planned. she's not happy.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:26:04 AM
That is awful :( cancelling plans due to sickness is the worst.
Amy Lee 8:42:31 AM
@Dale - while certainly not the same, I had considered trying out a VR headset when had a similar situation this summer. I didn't, but I'd like to know if anyone else has..
Dale Hazelton 8:44:46 AM
amy lee. i just imagine getting a splitting headache from one of those.
Dale Hazelton 8:50:03 AM
halle bopp was really the only comet i ever saw that wowed me. I guess because it was visible at a good time of night to view nd it hung around for a while.
Dale Hazelton 8:50:46 AM
hale....not halle.
Emily Borowski 9:41:02 AM
am i feeling allergic to the autumn leaves right now?
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:42:14 AM
It doesn't look like it! Could be the tail of ragweed season? Or indoor allergies? https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/newark/07102/allergies-weather/349530
Emily Borowski 9:43:40 AM
probably, i have a pet rabbit
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:44:27 AM
accuweather puts the risk of indoor allergies as high... I wonder why! I doubt they know about your rabbit
Emily Borowski 9:46:16 AM
that is interesting...
Emily Borowski 9:57:07 AM
ty for a great show! ill try misting my tomato plants next year
Amy Lee 9:57:13 AM
Thanks for the great show!
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:57:31 AM
