I tracked how a single algorithmic decision in Singapore cascades into loan denials in Lagos and job rejections in São Paulo — this is what digital colonialism actually looks like

Psychology says the people who burn out fastest at work aren’t the ones doing the most. They’re the ones who never feel safe enough to do less.

Фотохимический синтез металлорганических каркасов Am(III) и Ln(III)

Металлоорганические каркасы (МОК) на основе лантанидов имеют большие перспективы для применения в газосорбции, катализе, создании люминофорных материалов.
