Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium caseinate with starch and natural nanoclay to form a thin, durable material designed to mimic everyday plastic. In soil tests, the film fully broke down in about 13 weeks, pointing to a realistic alternative for single-use food packaging.

Six years after the debut of the original model, Apple has officially announced the AirPods Max 2. While the exterior design remains largely unchanged, the second-generation headphones introduce significant internal upgrades aimed at improving audio fidelity and processing power. The core of the update is the integration of the H2 chip, which enables several advanced features: Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Apple claims the new model is 1.5x more effective...

Клин может скользить без трения по горизонтальному столу (на рисунке — вдоль оси ). Известны скорости клина и шара непосредственно перед ударом; требуется найти их скорости сразу после него. Удар считается абсолютно упругим, угол наклона клина известен. Векторы... Read more ›

![[Перевод] Учёные представили новое понятие: «межпланетная зона обитаемости»](https://times42.com/media/2/8/9/12154289_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Учёные представили новое понятие: «межпланетная зона обитаемости»")
Любой человек, интересовавшийся темой поисков внеземной жизни, наверняка слышал о «зоне обитаемости» вокруг звезды. Она определяется как орбитальная полоса (диапазон расстояний от звезды), в которой температура как раз подходит для того, чтобы жидкая вода собиралась на поверхности каменистой планеты — это хорошее приближение условий, которые, как считается, существовали на ранней Земле. Но что произойдёт, если такая жизнь не останется на попавшей в эту зону планете, аналогичной Земле? Если она, подобно... Read more ›

I noticed something odd a couple of years ago while having coffee with a friend’s mother. She’s in her mid-seventies, still sharp, still energetic, still the kind of person who makes you forget you’re talking to someone decades older. I asked her what she’d been up to that week, and instead of giving me the ... Read more Read more ›

Scientists have uncovered evidence that our Sun may have traveled across the Milky Way as part of a massive migration of Sun-like stars billions of years ago. The journey may have carried the solar system away from the galaxy’s crowded center into a calmer region where life could eventually emerge. Read more ›

Scientists are exploring a surprisingly simple way to clean up diesel engines: adding tiny droplets of water to the fuel. During combustion, the water rapidly vaporizes, triggering micro-explosions that improve fuel mixing and lower combustion temperatures. Studies show this technique can slash nitrogen oxide and soot emissions by more than 60% while sometimes even improving engine efficiency. Because it works in existing engines without redesign, it could provide a quick... Read more ›

Tiny plastic particles may be quietly threatening brain health. New research suggests microplastics—now widely found in food, water, and even household dust—could trigger inflammation and damage in the brain through multiple biological pathways. Scientists estimate adults may consume about 250 grams of these particles each year, and some can accumulate in organs including the brain. Read more ›

A newly identified Australian tree has been dubbed the “zombie” tree because it’s alive but unable to reproduce. Myrtle rust repeatedly kills its young growth, stopping the species from flowering or making seeds. Scientists are scrambling to grow disease-free seedlings in protected locations. Their hope is that a future generation may evolve resistance and bring the species back from the brink. Read more ›

Researchers have identified two gut bacteria that can produce serotonin, a key chemical that regulates bowel movements. In experiments with mice lacking serotonin, the microbes boosted serotonin levels, increased nerve cells in the colon, and normalized intestinal movement. The study also found that people with IBS have lower levels of one of these bacteria. The discovery suggests gut microbes could become a powerful new target for treating digestive disorders.

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million regulatory DNA sequences that act like genetic switches, controlling when and how genes are activated. These sequences, known as conserved non-coding sequences (CNSs), were detected using a new computational tool called Conservatory. Read more ›

Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at the final stages of development. Unlike traditional methods that rely on toxic chemicals and harsh conditions, the new approach uses an LED lamp to create essential carbon–carbon bonds under mild conditions. This could make drug discovery faster and more environmentally friendly. The breakthrough was uncovered unexpectedly during a failed laboratory experiment. Read more ›

Scientists may have finally solved the mystery of strange plume-like structures hidden deep inside the Greenland ice sheet. New research suggests they form through thermal convection—slow, swirling motions driven by temperature differences inside the ice. This means the deep ice could be far softer than scientists once believed. Understanding this hidden movement could improve predictions about how Greenland’s ice sheet behaves in a warming world.

Hair may grow in a completely different way than scientists once believed. Instead of being pushed out from the root, new research shows that moving cells inside the follicle actually pull the hair upward like a microscopic motor. Advanced 3D imaging revealed a spiral movement of cells that generates this force. The finding could change how scientists study hair loss and design future treatments. Read more ›

Researchers have created “Smart Underwear,” a wearable device that measures flatulence by detecting hydrogen produced by gut microbes. Early tests suggest people may pass gas about 32 times a day—much higher than previous estimates. The device gives scientists a new way to track gut microbial activity in everyday life. It will power a new nationwide study called the Human Flatus Atlas to map normal patterns of gas production. Read more ›
