ELI5'ing the abstract, some mice were put in a noisy environment for 4 days. This caused their blood vessels to become more inflamed and allowed more cells that cause inflammation into their hearts. When the mice had a heart attack, the inflammation was worse if they had been exposed to the noise before. People who live in noisy areas and then have a heart attack also have worse outcomes. This study suggests that reducing noise pollution could help people who have heart attacks.

I’m guessing it works similarly to how a chameleon changes color or how peacock feathers shine blue

A chameleon’s skin doesn’t show colors through pigments. It rather changes structure to scatter light at different wavelengths, trapping some light, while letting some of it through, showing colors.

I’m just guessing that’s how this tech works though. I always wondered why we didn’t go in that direction to create color anyways. Might not be what’s going on here

Cash only here in Colorado too. They always have an ATM in the building but you have to hand over cash.

I've been to one where you can pay with a card by handing them the card, but it will still be run as an ATM transaction. They have you enter your PIN on a PIN pad, round it up to the nearest $20, and give you change in cash even though you paid with a card. And there's still ATM fees. It was a weird round-about way of letting customers pay with a card while getting around the banking ban.

Far more often it's just an ordinary ATM sitting there.

CMOS compatibility is quite the flex when considering optical technologies.
