929 Antarctica just saw the fastest glacier collapse ever recorded

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 02/26/2026 11:47 EDT

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier stunned scientists by retreating eight kilometers in just two months, with nearly half of it collapsing in record time. The rapid breakup was driven by a flat, underwater bedrock surface that allowed the glacier to suddenly float and fracture from below. Satellite and seismic data captured the dramatic chain reaction in near real time. The findings raise concerns that much larger glaciers could one day collapse just as quickly.

От утилитарного Telegram-бота до полноценной PWA-панели управления VPS: эволюция проекта (v1.13.0 — v1.21.1)

Привет, Хабр!В своих предыдущих статьях (раз, два, три) я рассказывал о зарождении идеи и первых шагах разработки Telegram-бота для управления серверами. То, что начиналось как простенький Python-скрипт для проверки uptime и перезагрузки парочки личных VPS, за последние месяцы обросло «мясом» и превратилось во взрослую экосистему с паттерном Agent-Server, своим WebUI, WAF и PWA.Сегодня я хочу поделиться опытом, который я получил в процессе масштабного рефакторинга (от версии 1.13.0 до актуальной 1.21.x),...

High in a South American rainforest canopy, scientists have discovered a bizarre new termite species that looks strikingly like a miniature sperm whale. Named Cryptotermes mobydicki, this tiny insect has an elongated head and concealed mandibles that give it an uncanny resemblance to the iconic marine giant. Researchers were so surprised by its unusual appearance that they initially thought it belonged to an entirely new genus. Read more

Colorectal cancer may carry a unique microbial “fingerprint,” setting it apart from other cancers and opening a new frontier in diagnosis and treatment.

A deadly parasite responsible for sleeping sickness has been found using a surprisingly precise trick to stay hidden in the human bloodstream. Scientists discovered a protein called ESB2 that acts like a “molecular shredder,” cutting up specific genetic instructions as they are produced. This allows the parasite to flood its surface with protective proteins while suppressing other signals that might give it away. Read more

Fusion scientists have solved a long-standing mystery inside tokamaks, the donut-shaped machines designed to harness fusion energy. For years, experiments showed that escaping plasma particles hit one side of the exhaust system far more than the other, but simulations couldn’t explain why. Now, researchers have discovered that the rotation of the plasma itself plays a crucial role—working together with sideways particle drift to create the imbalance. Read more

Hara hachi bu, a traditional Japanese practice of eating until you’re about 80% full, is gaining attention as a simple yet powerful way to improve health and reshape our relationship with food. Rather than promoting strict dieting, it encourages slowing down, tuning into hunger cues, and eating with awareness and gratitude. Research suggests it may help reduce calorie intake, support healthier food choices, and prevent long-term weight gain. Read more

More than 12,000 years ago, Native American hunter-gatherers were already making and using dice—thousands of years before similar tools appeared elsewhere. These bone “binary lots” acted like primitive coins, producing random outcomes for games of chance. A new study shows these weren’t accidental objects but carefully designed tools used across many regions and cultures. Read more

Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field behaved in a way that has long baffled scientists, showing wild and seemingly chaotic shifts unlike anything seen before or since. A new study suggests this chaos may actually hide a deeper pattern: instead of random fluctuations, the magnetic field may have followed a global, organized structure. Read more

Scientists have taken a major step toward protecting the very cells that make sharp, colorful vision possible. By testing more than 2,700 compounds in thousands of lab-grown human retinal models, researchers uncovered several molecules that can shield cone photoreceptors—the cells responsible for reading, recognizing faces, and seeing color—from degeneration. They also identified a key protective mechanism involving casein kinase 1, offering a promising new target for treatment. Read more
