Eating walnuts for breakfast may enhance brain function throughout the day in young adults, according to a new study.

Researchers at the University of Reading found that consuming 50 grams (~1.8 ounces) of walnuts (about a handful) mixed into muesli and yogurt led to quicker reaction times and improved memory later in the day, compared to an equivalent calorie-matched breakfast without nuts.

Genetics of Alternating Sexes in Walnuts

Scientists have uncovered a genetic mechanism in walnuts and their ancestors that has remained stable for 40 million years. Male-first or female-first flowering, balanced by a single genetic locus, parallels sex determination in animals. This evolutionary trait ensures genetic diversity, with distinct pathways evolving independently in walnuts and pecans.

#Genuary16: Generative palette. This plot was made using walnut ink! Using an organic ink that shifted colours during plotting is definitely what I would call a generative palette. Made during my art residency at @bantamtools! It's special, it's big at 36" x 24", and it's also a 1-of-1 that was made on an unreleased, prototype machine. Grab it while you can!

A generative art piece plotted with an unreleased prototype machine, featuring intricate rectangular tiles that transition between warm walnut tones and soft, earthy whites. The texture and organic ink used create a unique effect, as the shades shift and blend across the 36"x24" frame, evoking a sense of natural transformation and harmony. The walnut ink, gifted by @brepettisart, adds an authentic organic touch, with an intriguing, unrepeatable color palette that even changes mid-plot, lending the work a mysterious and evolving character. This one-of-a-kind piece not only represents innovative generative techniques but also pays homage to the unpredictability and beauty of natural materials.

First I noticed a crow on a pile of wood, looked with the binoculars and could see it had a walnut. Then it lost it in the wood pile after unsuccessful nut cracking. Then I saw it was with another on the ground doing walnut things. Then I heard several walnuts crashing to the ground after bouncing off things. The rest of them were in the tree harvesting. I think these are the family that nested somewhere nearby this year.

Two crows on the ground eating english walnuts if they get them cracked open.

Three new extinct walnut species discovered in high Arctic mummified forest.

Today, the Canadian island of Axel Heiberg is a frozen desert devoid of nearly all life. But 45 million years ago, it supported a lush rainforest on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Since then, the forest has been buried first beneath layers of sediment, then accumulated ice, leaving it frozen in time.
