Ocean temperatures may be quietly protecting the world from a global drought catastrophe. By analyzing more than a century of climate data, researchers discovered that droughts rarely spread across the planet at the same time, affecting only about 1.8%–6.5% of global land simultaneously—far less than earlier estimates. The reason lies largely in shifting ocean patterns such as El Niño and La Niña, which create a patchwork of drought conditions across continents instead of one massive worldwide dry spell.

The founders of Degen spent years inside the biggest platforms watching how the systems actually work. What they saw convinced them to build something that rejects the entire model. Their new one-tap AI creative app has no algorithmic feed, no follower metrics, and a creator economy that pays artists for usage rather than reach. Find out why GV led a $10M round to back an app that bets people are... Read more ›

В начале мая Минпромторг решил убрать из параллельного импорта целую "пачку" брендов компьютерной электроники: Intel, Samsung, Kingston, Acer, Asus, HP и другие знакомые названия. То есть всё то, из чего сегодня в реальности собираются домашние ПК, офисные машины, серверы, ноутбуки и часть корпоративной инфраструктуры. Формально это не полный запрет на ввоз, но для рынка разница значительная: отсутствие легальных массовых поставок, серый импорт и скачок стоимости.Самое интересное началось дальше.

A troubling new study from MIT reveals that a common environmental contaminant, NDMA—found in polluted water, certain medications, and even processed foods—may pose a far greater cancer risk to children than adults. In experiments with mice, young animals exposed to the chemical developed significantly more DNA damage and cancer, despite experiencing the same initial exposure as adults. The key difference lies in how rapidly children’s cells divide, which turns early... Read more ›

A decades-old drug once used to treat sleeping sickness is now showing surprising promise against an ultra-rare and life-threatening genetic disorder called Bachmann-Bupp syndrome (BABS). Early patient treatments suggest the drug, DFMO, may ease severe symptoms by targeting the underlying genetic malfunction. Researchers have already treated a handful of patients with encouraging results, but progress has been slowed by regulatory and logistical hurdles. Read more ›

Scientists have uncovered the true boundary of the Milky Way’s star-forming region using stellar “age mapping.” They found a telltale U-shaped pattern showing that star formation drops sharply around 35,000–40,000 light-years from the center. Beyond that, stars are mostly migrants, slowly drifting outward rather than forming in place. The discovery gives a long-sought answer to where our galaxy’s stellar nursery really ends. Read more ›

A spectacular cosmic event nicknamed “SN Winny” could help solve one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries: how fast the universe is expanding. This rare superluminous supernova, located 10 billion light-years away, appears five times in the sky thanks to gravitational lensing, creating a dazzling “cosmic fireworks” effect. By measuring the slight delays between each appearance—caused by light taking different paths around two foreground galaxies—scientists can directly calculate the universe’s expansion rate.

A massive prehistoric snake discovered in India may rank among the largest ever to slither across Earth. Named Vasuki indicus, this ancient giant lived around 47 million years ago and is estimated to have stretched an astonishing 11 to 15 meters long—rivaling the legendary Titanoboa. Fossilized vertebrae unearthed from a lignite mine in Gujarat reveal a thick-bodied, powerful snake likely built for slow, stealthy ambush attacks, similar to modern anacondas. Read more ›

New experiments suggest that freezing and thawing on early Earth may have helped primitive cell-like structures grow and evolve. Tiny lipid bubbles behaved very differently depending on their membrane makeup—some fused into larger compartments and captured DNA more efficiently. These fusion events could have mixed key molecules, setting the stage for more complex chemistry. Read more ›

Archaeologists have uncovered six previously unknown Bronze Age mines in southwestern Spain, offering a striking new clue about where the metal in ancient Scandinavian artifacts may have come from. Found near Cabeza del Buey, the sites include everything from small extraction zones to larger mining operations—one even packed with around 80 stone axes used to crush ore. These mines contain copper, lead, and silver, key materials that powered trade networks... Read more ›

For the first time, scientists have watched a subduction zone literally fall apart beneath the ocean floor. Using advanced seismic imaging, they found the Juan de Fuca plate splitting into fragments as it sinks beneath North America. Rather than collapsing all at once, the plate is tearing piece by piece, like a train slowly derailing. The finding helps explain ancient plate fragments and could refine how scientists understand earthquake behavior. Read more ›

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized contact zone that lets them destroy dangerous cells without harming their neighbors.

Scientists have finally cracked one of the biggest mysteries in the senses: how smell is organized. By mapping millions of neurons in mice, researchers discovered that smell receptors in the nose aren’t random at all—they’re arranged in neat, overlapping stripes based on receptor type, forming a hidden structure scientists never knew existed. Even more striking, this layout mirrors how smell information is mapped in the brain, revealing a coordinated system... Read more ›
