ScienceDaily · 02/26/2026 04:24 EDT

“Forever chemicals” known as PFAS have quietly infiltrated everything from nonstick pans to food packaging—and now new research suggests some of them may be speeding up the aging process itself. In a nationally representative U.S. study, two lesser-known PFAS compounds, PFNA and PFOSA, were found in 95% of participants and strongly linked to faster biological aging in men aged 50 to 64.

Neuroscience is beginning to explain why people who spend their workday on video calls feel a specific kind of loneliness that is different from actual isolation

Neuroscience reveals that video calls sit in a social uncanny valley, activating your brain's bonding systems without ever letting them complete their circuit, producing a specific kind of loneliness that is more draining than actual solitude. Read more

В 2013 году на Randomwire была опубликована интересная статья. В ней автор указал на интересные особенности японского дизайна. Японцы известны своим минимализмом, но в случае сайтов у них, почему-то, всё наоборот. Страницы пестрят всевозможными цветами, что уже нарушает 3 принципа дизайна, плюс на них используются мелкие иконки и мно-о-о-о-го текста.  Да вы и сами видите пример этого буйства фантазии на скриншоте выше, сделанном в ноябре 2022 года.В упомянутой статье приводилось...

Psychology says people who overthink at night often have a brain that refuses to shut down because it never felt safe enough to rest

Nighttime overthinking often looks like a discipline problem, but psychology suggests it runs deeper: a nervous system that was calibrated early in life to treat rest as risky, and stillness as something that needs to be monitored. Read more

Электростатический ветрогенератор

Sparkwriter4Так исторически сложилось, что я питаю слабость к генераторам разных типов, и сегодня мы рассмотрим ещё один любопытный образец, в котором реализован достаточно красивый способ генерации электроэнергии — безлопастной ветрогенератор. Вообще говоря, когда видишь словосочетание «безлопастной», да ещё и «ветрогенератор», то это вызывает своеобразный когнитивный диссонанс, так как мы привыкли к абсолютно другому, и в нашем понимании, ветрогенератор частенько представляет собой огромную конструкцию, с Read more

Приветствую всех!Несмотря на то, что релейные лифты в наших краях массово выпускались и устанавливались вплоть до начала девяностых, а тысячи таких работают до сих пор, ещё в незапамятные времена разрабатывались электронные системы управления.Так получилось, что мне повезло достать начинку от первой массовой такой станции.

Темный протеом, или Как микробелки прятались в геноме на виду у всех

Расшифровав человеческий геном (им, кстати, был геном самого Джеймса Уотсона, одного из авторов модели двойной спирали ДНК), ученые недолго довольствовались результатом. Наука концентрировалась на больших генах, кодирующих крупные белки длиной в ~300 аминокислот, но обнаружилось, что такие гены занимают всего ~1–2% ДНК. Все остальное, по логике экономии объяснений, решено было считать «мусором» — junk DNA, накопившимся побочным продуктом эволюции.Еще до открытия структуры ДНК Уотсон и Крик наблюдали случаи, Read more

Living at high altitude appears to protect against diabetes, and scientists have finally discovered the reason. When oxygen levels drop, red blood cells switch into a new metabolic mode and absorb large amounts of glucose from the blood. This helps the body cope with thin air while also reducing blood sugar levels. A drug that recreates this effect reversed diabetes in mice, hinting at a powerful new treatment strategy. Read more

Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster than previous methods. Using fast FPGA-based control hardware, they can instantly identify when a qubit shifts from “good” to “bad.” The discovery opens a new path toward stabilizing and... Read more

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of “universal” vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or bacterium, the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months. In mice, it slashed viral levels, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic... Read more

A century after Erwin Schrödinger sketched out a bold vision for how we perceive color, scientists have finally filled in the missing pieces. A Los Alamos team used advanced geometry to show that hue, saturation, and lightness aren’t shaped by culture or experience — they’re built directly into the mathematical structure of how we see color. By defining a crucial missing element known as the “neutral axis,” the researchers repaired... Read more

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize quantum computers while slashing their energy use. Early experiments suggest the alloy NbRe behaves unlike any conventional superconductor. If verified, it could become a cornerstone of next-generation quantum and spintronic technology. Read more

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is driven by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing cells—leading to tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement—researchers are implanting lab-grown cells directly into the brain’s movement center to replace what’s been lost.

Despite predating the antibiotic era, this cold-loving microbe carries more than 100 resistance-related genes and can survive drugs used today to treat serious infections like tuberculosis and UTIs.

Located 300 million light-years away in the Perseus galaxy cluster, it was discovered in an unusual way: not by its stars, but by four tightly packed globular clusters acting like cosmic breadcrumbs.
