Butterfly wing patterns create motion illusions like barber pole
x/university-of-exeter
— Sep 30, 2026
Research suggests that the bold, moving patterns on butterfly wings can distort predators’ perception of the insects’ speed and direction, making birds more likely to miss during aerial attacks.

Business
— Sep 9, 2026
A National Association of Realtors study finds no uniform impact of data centers on housing values; effects vary by local market, with some counties seeing higher values due to tech-hub status, while others show strain on energy and utilities. Realtors report mixed perceptions, and experts caution that data-center cluster presence alone doesn’t determine home prices, since most counties have none and concentration is limited to a few markets.
