Galileo's Handwritten Notes Discovered in a Medieval Astronomy Text

In a library in Florence, Italy, historian Ivan Malara noticed handwritten notes on a book printed in the 1500s — and recognized the handwriting as Galileo's. The finding "promises new insights into one of the most famous ideological transitions in the history of science," writes Science magazine — since the book Galileo annotated was a reprint of Ptolemy's second-century work arguing that the earth was the center of the universe.

Одноклеточный белок: что это, зачем нужно и как его делают

Когда говорят о еде будущего, чаще вспоминают искусственное мясо от Билла Гейтса, порошки из насекомых или растительные котлеты. Но одна из самых практичных и при этом наименее медийных технологий развивается в другом направлении — это белок, полученный из бактерий, дрожжей и подобных микроорганизмов. Не в переносном смысле, а буквально: микроорганизмы выращивают в ферментерах, получают богатую белком биомассу, очищают, сушат и превращают в ингредиент для пищи или кормов. В научной литературе...

The couples who last aren’t the ones who never hurt each other. They’re the ones who developed a shared language for repair that both people trust, and the language matters more than the injury because injury is inevitable and repair is chosen.

Conflict is inevitable in any meaningful relationship, but lasting couples aren't the ones who avoid injury — they're the ones who built a shared, trusted language for repair. The quality of that return matters more than the wound itself. Read more

On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they... Read more

TechSpot's false story was just an April Fool's prank — although Gadget Review thinks it's still funny how "something about this particular piece of satire felt uncomfortably plausible." Maybe it's because AMD stock sits around $196 while Intel hovers near $41, or perhaps it's the poetic justice of the underdog finally eating the giant. The semiconductor world... Read more

[Kevin] Chalker told me that, as he understood it, the Pentagon had suggested running commando operations to kill key Iranian scientists, as Israel subsequently did.

TechRepublic adds that the update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services."
