When blood hits clothes, physics takes over
Scientists got a little messy in the name of crime-solving—they shot pig’s blood at different fabrics to study how bloodstains form on clothing. Turns out, the physics behind splatters isn’t as straightforward as you’d think, and this research could help forensic teams better interpret blood evidence at crime scenes.
Editor’s Note: Bloodstain patterns can tell investigators a lot about what happened during a violent crime, but fabrics complicate things—they absorb, spread, or distort blood in unpredictable ways. This study dives into the nitty-gritty of how blood behaves when it hits clothing, which could make forensic analysis more accurate. It’s not glamorous work (hello, pig blood experiments), but it might help ensure justice gets served.

China launches new spacesuits, other supplies to Tiangong space station (video)
PositiveScience
China just shot another resupply mission to its growing Tiangong space station, complete with fresh spacesuits and supplies. A Long March 7 rocket did the heavy lifting, launching the Tianzhou 9 cargo spacecraft into orbit—and yes, there's slick footage of the whole thing.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just routine logistics—it's another step in China's steady climb to become a major player in space. New spacesuits mean more ambitious spacewalks, and regular resupply missions show Tiangong is settling into its role as a long-term orbital outpost. For space watchers, it's a sign China's program is maturing fast, even as global space rivalries heat up.

This article digs into the current water situation—checking river flows, reservoir levels, and underground water supplies—after an unusually dry stretch. It’s basically a reality check for folks wondering if their area might be headed for a drought.
Ravenous 'vampire' stars may use cosmic accomplices to help devour stellar victims
NeutralScience
Astronomers have found that so-called "vampire" white dwarfs—stars that suck material from their stellar neighbors—aren’t always lone predators. Some get a helping hand from a hidden third star, which destabilizes the victim star’s orbit, making it easier for the vampire to feast.
Editor’s Note: This discovery adds a twist to our understanding of how stars interact in binary and triple systems. It’s not just a cosmic horror show—it’s a reminder that even in space, teamwork (or treachery) can change the game. For scientists, this means rethinking how common these vampiric feedings might be and how they influence stellar evolution. For the rest of us? It’s a cool reminder that the universe is full of weird, dramatic relationships.
