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.

A start-up called Reflect Orbital "proposes to use large, mirrored satellites to redirect sunlight to Earth at night," reports the Washington Post, "with plans to bathe solar farms, industrial sites and even entire cities in light that could, if desired, reach the intensity of daylight...." Slashdot noted their idea in 2022 — but Reflect Orbital now expects to launch its first satellite in April, according to the article. "But its... Read more ›

Are two 5,000mAh power banks the same size? Before you say “of course”, we need to clarify what we mean by size. In terms of physical size, putting the new Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W next to a 5,000mAh power bank from EcoFlow shows a stark difference. The Xiaomi power bank weighs only 98g and measures 98.5 x 71.5 x 6.0mm. The EcoFlow power bank is nearly twice... Read more ›

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in a coordinated way throughout the body. About a quarter of cell types change in number over time, and many of these shifts differ between males and females. The research also highlights shared genetic “hotspots” that could become targets... Read more ›

Трудно с уверенностью сказать, какие игры или жанры были самыми популярными в первые годы существования компьютерных игр. Многие игры продавались напрямую по почте или через небольшие магазины, у которых был один владелец, и ни одна организация, занимавшаяся торговлей программным обеспечением, не собирала полную статистику продаж. В 1980 году журнал Softalk начал публиковать список тридцати самых продаваемых программ для Apple II, составленный на основе опросов розничных продавцов. Он не предоставлял (и... Read more ›

Продолжаю серию статей про вайб кодинг для чайников (это я). Сегодня про главную боль: почему всё, что генерирует ИИ в плане веб-дизайна, выглядит одинаково пластиково, и что с этим делать на практике.Хотелось бы свалить на конкретную модель и сказать - "надо просто выбрать вот эту и всё будет тип топ". Но на самом деле - это проблема подхода: по умолчанию ИИ пишет и оптимизирует код подходом "работает и не ломается",... Read more ›

Xiaomi launched a tracking tag called simply the Xiaomi Tag. We have one in our hands and we can see a few reasons why you may want to pick one up over trackers from other brands. First, it’s how you can get one – an individual tag costs €18, while a pack of four goes for €60. For comparison, a second-gen Apple AirTag is €35 (or €120 for four), a... 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 ›

A sweeping new scientific review suggests that pecans — America’s native nut — may pack more heart power than many people realize. After analyzing over 20 years of research, scientists found consistent evidence that eating pecans can improve key markers of cardiovascular health, including total cholesterol and “bad” LDL cholesterol, while also supporting antioxidant defenses.

Deep inside a Romanian ice cave, locked away in a 5,000-year-old layer of ice, scientists have uncovered a bacterium with a startling secret: it’s resistant to many modern antibiotics. 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.

Chronic wounds often spiral out of control because oxygen can’t reach the deepest layers of injured tissue. A new gel developed at UC Riverside delivers a continuous flow of oxygen right where it’s needed most, using a tiny battery-powered system. In high-risk mice, wounds healed in weeks instead of worsening. The innovation could dramatically reduce amputations—and may even open doors for lab-grown organs. Read more ›

Cleaner wrasse have revealed a remarkable new side of fish intelligence. Marked with fake parasites, they used mirrors to inspect and remove the spots—far faster than seen in earlier tests. Even more striking, some fish dropped shrimp in front of the mirror to watch how its reflection moved, a form of exploratory “contingency testing.” The findings suggest self-awareness may extend well beyond mammals.

Deep in the Arctic north, drained peatlands—once massive carbon vaults built over thousands of years—are quietly leaking greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But new field research from northern Norway suggests there’s a powerful way to slow that loss: raise the water level. In a two-year study, scientists found that restoring higher groundwater levels in cultivated Arctic peatlands dramatically cut carbon dioxide emissions, and in some cases even tipped the balance...

Far beneath the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off Portugal’s coast, lies a colossal underwater canyon system that dwarfs even the Grand Canyon. Known as the King’s Trough Complex, this 500-kilometer stretch of trenches and deep basins formed not from rushing water, but from dramatic tectonic forces that once tore the seafloor apart.

A Martian volcano once thought to be the result of a single eruption turns out to have a much more complex past. Orbital imaging and mineral data show it developed through multiple eruptive phases, all powered by the same evolving magma system underground. Shifts in mineral composition reveal the magma changed over time, hinting at different depths and storage histories. Mars’ interior was far more active than previously believed. Read more ›

Flea and tick medications trusted by pet owners worldwide may have an unexpected environmental cost. Scientists found that active ingredients from isoxazoline treatments pass into pet feces, exposing dung-feeding insects to toxic chemicals. These insects are essential for nutrient cycling and soil health. The findings suggest everyday pet treatments could ripple through ecosystems in surprising ways. Read more ›
