ScienceDaily · 02/25/2026 01:28 EDT

Researchers have detected microplastics in nearly all prostate cancer tumors examined in a new study. Tumor tissue contained about 2.5 times more plastic than nearby healthy prostate tissue. Scientists say this is the first Western study to directly measure plastic particles in prostate tumors. More research is needed, but the findings suggest microplastic exposure could play a role in cancer development.

Подготовка контекста C++ проекта для эффективного взаимодействия с языковой моделью в режиме чат-кодинга

Если почитать комментарии на хабре по тематике языковых моделей, то наблюдалась совсем недавно тенденция от резкого перехода “языковая модель только для справки” до “используем агентов”. В первом случае помощь от языковых моделей минимальна. Во втором случае есть вопросы с доступностью подписок из России и/или большим расходом токенов. Надо конечно понимать что агент - это нечто большее чем просто языковая модель + обвязка, так как языковые модели специально дообучают агентным возможностям.... Read more

Как вести трафик в MAX и Telegram через Яндекс Директ: короткий разбор рабочей схемы

В 2026 году в России. Продвижение мессенджер-каналов уже невозможно воспринимать как задачу «про один Telegram». На конец апреля Telegram жестко блокируется, но реклама пока не запрещена. Бизнесу нужен запасной вариант. И не просто трафик в канал, а управляемая схема, в которой можно считать стоимость перехода, сравнивать сценарии входа и не зависеть от одной платформы. Один из рабочих подходов — вести пользователя не напрямую в мессенджер, а через промежуточную страницу: объявление... Read more

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle. They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny defects—but in nature, those flaws get washed away over time. By mimicking this process with precise simulations and electron beam pulses, the team achieved record-breaking crystal growth. The finding could reshape how high-tech materials are made. Read more

Many of the world’s largest river deltas—home to hundreds of millions of people—are sinking faster than rising seas, according to a sweeping global study.

Scientists have discovered that moringa seeds can help pull microplastics out of water, rivaling standard chemical treatments. The plant-based extract causes plastic particles to clump together, making them easier to filter away. In some conditions, it even outperformed conventional chemicals. This low-cost, natural solution could be a game-changer for cleaner drinking water, especially in smaller communities. Read more

Cancer cells are known for their “glutamine addiction,” but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels. Researchers found that vitamin B7 acts like a metabolic “license,” enabling this escape route through a key enzyme. Without biotin, cancer cells lose that flexibility and stop growing. Mutations in a cancer-linked gene can make this vulnerability even stronger, offering a promising new target for therapy. Read more

A unique hybrid honeybee thriving in Southern California may hold a powerful clue to saving struggling bee populations. While U.S. beekeepers are losing massive numbers of colonies—largely due to destructive Varroa mites—a locally adapted mix of feral and diverse bee lineages is showing remarkable resilience.

Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation. Read more

By targeting a bacterial protein that humans don’t have, the compound disrupts the microbes’ ability to survive, making it a promising new type of antibiotic. Read more
