909 Congo basin blackwater lakes are releasing ancient carbon into the atmosphere

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 02/24/2026 08:16 EDT

Deep in the Congo Basin, vast peatlands quietly store enormous amounts of Earth’s carbon — but new research suggests this ancient vault may be leaking. Scientists studying Africa’s largest blackwater lakes discovered that significant amounts of carbon dioxide bubbling into the atmosphere come not just from recent plant life, but from peat that has been locked away for thousands of years.

Meta Employees Vie for AI ‘Token Legend’ Status

Employees at Meta Platforms who want to show off their AI superuser chops are competing on an internal leaderboard for status as a “Session Immortal”—or, even better, “Token Legend.” The rankings, set up by a Meta employee on its intranet using company data, measure how many tokens—the units of data processed by AI models—employees are burning through. Dubbed “Claudeonomics” after the flagship product of AI startup Anthropic, the leaderboard aggregates... Read more

RPA и ИИ-агенты в Enterprise архитектуре (не вместо, а вместе)

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Сергей, я руковожу управлением операционных технологий в РГС. Недавно мы с командой обсуждали вопрос: «А что эффективнее сегодня: робот или AI-агент?». В последние годы RPA стал массовым инструментом автоматизации рутинных бизнес-процессов. При этом RPA, действующий по строго заданным сценариям, отлично справляется с многократной обработкой хорошо структурированных задач, а ИИ-агенты на основе LLM — с неструктурированными данными и рассуждениями. В enterprise-ландшафте это не конкур Read more

[Перевод] Claude Code слил 512 000 строк кода. Никто не разобрался в архитектуре. Утечка показала, что это не обёртка, а ОС

512 000 строк утекшего кода. 44 feature-флага. Система питомцев в духе тамагочи. Имена вроде “Tengu”, “Fennec” и “Penguin mode”. Всё это – то, о чём написали сотни новостей. Но не это главное.Пока интернет разбирал по косточкам внутренности Claude Code, увлечённо споря, игрушка это или серьёзная архитектура, настоящая ценность утечки осталась почти незамеченной.

Тендеры без ошибок: как ИИ обошёл экспертов в проверке документации

Кто победит в соревновании по обработке документов — опытный специалист или нейросеть? На рутинных повторяющихся задачах ИИ уверенно обходит человека: он работает быстрее и не устаёт, тогда как внимание человека дискретно — мы ошибаемся из‑за усталости или монотонности работы.Оптимальное решение — разделить роли: нейросеть быстро и точно сортирует данные, а человек ставит задачи, контролирует процесс и оценивает результат. Как же на практике превратить ИИ-помощника и живого эксперта в эффективную команду?Дл Read more

A blazing supermassive black hole can influence far more than its own galaxy. Scientists found that quasars emit radiation strong enough to shut down star formation in nearby galaxies millions of light-years away. This could explain why some galaxies near early quasars appear faint or missing. The finding suggests galaxies grow and evolve together, not in isolation. Read more

A major analysis of nearly 10,000 patients shows that simple, non-drug treatments like knee braces, hydrotherapy, and exercise can significantly ease knee osteoarthritis symptoms. These approaches not only reduce pain and improve mobility, but also avoid the risks tied to common medications. The findings suggest that low-cost, accessible therapies could play a bigger role in how doctors treat arthritis in the future. Read more

Certain smaller sauropods could stand on their hind legs with surprising ease, giving them access to higher food and a defensive edge. Computer simulations show their bones handled stress better than those of their larger relatives. However, as they grew, the sheer weight made this posture much harder to sustain. What started as a useful trick in youth became a more limited, strategic move in adulthood. Read more

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain liquids are stretched with enough force, they don’t just thin and flow—they suddenly fracture with a sharp break, much like metal under stress. This surprising behavior appears to be tied to viscosity, not elasticity, challenging long-held assumptions about how liquids behave. Read more

Deep sleep does far more than rest the body — it activates a powerful brain-driven system that controls growth hormone, fueling muscle and bone strength, metabolism, and even mental performance. Scientists have now mapped the neural circuits behind this process, uncovering a delicate feedback loop in which sleep boosts growth hormone, and that same hormone helps regulate wakefulness.

A breakthrough urine test could dramatically speed up how doctors treat urinary tract infections, identifying the right antibiotic in under six hours instead of waiting days. By testing directly from urine—skipping the usual lab culturing step—the method quickly shows which drugs stop bacterial growth and which don’t. In trials involving hundreds of patient samples, the test proved highly accurate, matching standard methods in over 96% of cases. Read more

Perovskite crystals can dramatically and reversibly change shape when hit with light, a behavior not seen in conventional semiconductors. This effect, called photostriction, can be finely tuned depending on the light’s intensity and color. Researchers say these materials act more like adjustable systems than simple switches. The finding could lead to a new generation of light-powered sensors and devices. Read more

By dramatically reducing noise in these systems, researchers can now measure motion and forces with unprecedented precision. This advance could unlock new ways to study gravity, probe quantum physics, and even revolutionize navigation with ultra-accurate, satellite-free systems. Read more
