Researchers have discovered that hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, a surprising ability that could help protect them from cars. Since road traffic kills large numbers of hedgehogs, scientists believe ultrasonic repellents might be used to steer them away from danger. The animals’ ears appear specially adapted for detecting high-frequency sounds. If the idea works, cars could one day emit signals that warn hedgehogs before it’s too late.

Всем привет! Сегодня разберём, можно ли использовать Claude Code с китайскими моделями вместо Opus и сколько на этом реально сэкономить. Взял две китайские модели Kimi K2.6 от Moonshot AI и GLM-5.1 от Z AI и прогнал их на привычных задачах и сравнил с Opus. Не в написании кода, а на повседневных задачах: создать лендинг, сделать карусель для соцсетей, анализ данных, что-то в интернете поискать сравнить, написать какой-нибудь не сложный Telegram-бот...

Google announced two new tensor processing units (TPUs) for the "agentic era," with separate processors dedicated to training and inference. "With the rise of AI agents, we determined the community would benefit from chips individually specialized to the needs of training and serving," Amin Vahdat, a Google senior vice president and chief technologist for AI and infrastructure, said in a blog post. Both chips will become available later this year.... Read more ›

It took me sixty years to discover that the most profound friendships aren't built on conversation or shared activities, but on the revolutionary act of being boring together—and that sitting in comfortable silence with someone who expects nothing from you might be the most honest relationship you'll ever have.

Humans have been building ping-pong playing robots for decades, such as Omron's FOREPHUS that challenged amateur competitors at CES 2017. What sets Ace apart from the rest is that the robot, which was developed by Sony's AI division, is the first that can hold its own against top-ranked human players and occasionally even beat them […] Read more ›

A long-running dinosaur mystery may finally be solved: Nanotyrannus, once dismissed as just a teenage T. rex, appears to have been its own distinct species after all. Scientists analyzed a tiny throat bone from the original fossil and discovered growth patterns showing the animal was already mature, not a juvenile giant-in-the-making. This smaller predator—about half the size of a full-grown T. rex—likely roamed alongside its famous cousin, adding a new... Read more ›

A surprising new clinical trial has revealed that metformin—a cheap, century-old drug widely used for type 2 diabetes—may help people with type 1 diabetes in an unexpected way. While researchers initially hoped it would reduce insulin resistance, they instead found it allows patients to use about 12% less insulin while maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Read more ›

New research suggests that aiming for a lower blood pressure target may deliver bigger heart health benefits than previously thought. Using large datasets and simulation models, scientists found that keeping systolic blood pressure below 120 mm Hg could reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure more than higher targets.

Scientists have discovered that methane in the open ocean is produced by microbes under nutrient-poor conditions, solving a long-standing mystery. As warming oceans reduce nutrient mixing, these methane-producing microbes may thrive. This could lead to increased methane emissions from the sea. The result is a potential feedback loop that could intensify climate change. Read more ›

A massive, nearly 20-year study tracking over 650,000 Americans with irritable bowel syndrome is raising new questions about the long-term safety of common treatments. Researchers found that some widely used medications—including antidepressants and certain antidiarrheal drugs—were linked to a small but noticeable increase in the risk of death over time.

The ozone layer has been on track to recover thanks to the Montreal Protocol—but a loophole may be holding it back. Chemicals still permitted for industrial use are leaking into the atmosphere at higher rates than expected. Scientists now estimate this could delay ozone recovery by up to seven years. Closing this gap could speed up healing and reduce harmful UV exposure worldwide. Read more ›

A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation. Researchers found these cells accumulate with age and high cholesterol—and can make up most of the liver’s immune cells in older mice. When scientists removed them, liver damage was dramatically reversed, even without diet changes. Read more ›

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to cell death is secretly driving the aging of blood stem cells in a completely different way. Instead of killing the cells, it damages their mitochondria, sapping their energy and weakening the immune system over time. When this protein was turned off, stem cells remained stronger and more balanced, even under stress. The findings point to a new strategy for slowing aging at... Read more ›

Researchers have found a way to make cancer-killing immune cells more powerful and precise. By adding specific signaling components, they boosted the cells’ readiness to attack tumors. Surprisingly, briefly suppressing the cells with a drug before use made them even more effective later. The approach could help create safer, stronger next-gen cancer treatments. Read more ›
