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.

TrueNAS. Организация файлового сервера у клиента c возможностью удаленного доступа

Недавно позвонил мне знакомый — у них в организации возникла потребность в файловом сервере. Первым делом я, конечно, предложил что-то проверенное, вроде готового решения от Synology. У меня уже был опыт настройки таких NAS — всё понятно, удобно и стабильно работает.Правда, был ещё опыт с файловыми помойками на Windows Server — и, честно говоря, удовольствия от них немного. Всё как-то через одно место, да и смысла в этом особо не... Read more

Lenovo Legion Go 2 suddenly costs $650 more as RAMageddon lays waste to gaming hardware

Remember when we thought the Legion Go 2 was expensive at $1,099 and up? Those were the days - Best Buy is now listing Lenovo's handheld for $1,499 with a Ryzen Z2 or $1,999 with a Z2 Extreme. The latter originally cost $1,349, so that's a $650 jump in just six months. And yes, that […] Read more

You know you grew up lower-middle-class if the most stressful sound of your childhood was the phone ringing at dinner — and you understood, before anyone explained it, that some calls meant someone needed something the family didn’t quite have, and that understanding became the background noise of every evening for years

That dinner-time ring wasn't just a phone call — it was the soundtrack to a childhood spent watching your parents' faces change, learning to read financial stress like other kids learned to read books, and understanding that your family was always one call away from a crisis they couldn't quite afford.

Data Gravity и отравление выборки

Любой, кто хоть немного знаком с ИИ знает, что для эффективной работы искусственного интеллекта необходимы качественные данные. В результате 80% времени любого ML-проекта уходит не на подбор гиперпараметров и не на архитектуру нейросети, а на рутинный, выматывающий процесс — вылизывание данных. Мы собираем данные из множества устаревших систем, разбираемся с пустыми полями, убираем дубликаты, корректируем разметку. А после всего этого модель приходит ровно туда, куда мы её привели — шуму,... Read more

A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar in March 2025, but what makes this event extraordinary is what happened next. For the first time, a nearby CCTV camera captured the fault rupture in real time, giving scientists a rare, direct look at how the Earth moves during a major quake. Researchers discovered that the ground shifted 2.5 meters in just 1.3 seconds, confirming a rapid, pulse-like rupture and revealing that... Read more

A fossil ape discovered in northern Egypt is reshaping the story of human evolution. The species, Masripithecus, lived about 17 to 18 million years ago and may sit very close to the ancestor of all modern apes. This finding challenges the long-standing focus on East Africa. Instead, it points to northern Africa and nearby regions as a possible birthplace of apes. Read more

Scientists have identified a key biological system that helps brown fat burn energy by building the networks it needs to function. A protein called SLIT3 splits into two parts, with each piece guiding the growth of blood vessels and nerves inside brown fat. These structures allow the tissue to pull in nutrients and rapidly convert them into heat instead of storing them as fat. Read more

Scientists have uncovered how your body actually tells your brain to stop eating when you’re sick. In a new study, researchers found that specialized cells in the gut detect parasites and send signals that ultimately trigger the brain to suppress appetite. This process builds over time, explaining why you may feel fine at first but then suddenly lose interest in food as an infection takes hold. Read more

A widely used sugar substitute found in everything from keto snacks to diet drinks may not be as harmless as it seems. New research shows that erythritol can disrupt brain blood vessel cells, reducing their ability to relax, increasing harmful oxidative stress, and impairing the body’s ability to break down clots. These changes create conditions that could raise stroke risk, even at typical consumption levels. Read more

For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by strange “zebra stripe” patterns in radio waves from the Crab Pulsar — bright bands separated by complete darkness. Now, new research suggests the answer lies in a cosmic tug-of-war between gravity and plasma. The pulsar’s plasma spreads light apart, while gravity bends it back together, creating interference patterns that form the striking stripes. Read more

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain structures capture CO2 better and release it using far less heat. One version works at temperatures below 60 °C, meaning it could run on waste heat instead of costly energy. The discovery offers a powerful new blueprint for next-generation climate... Read more

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result reached about 130% efficiency, meaning more energy carriers were produced than photons absorbed. This could lead to much more powerful solar panels in the future. Read more

Scientists have developed a new gene therapy that quiets pain at its source in the brain—without the addictive risks of opioids. Using AI to map how pain is processed, they created a targeted “off switch” that mimics morphine’s benefits but skips its dangerous side effects. In early tests, it delivered lasting relief without affecting normal sensations. The discovery could mark a major step toward safer, non-addictive pain treatments. Read more

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and polarization, rather than just on a surface. An AI model then reconstructs the data from light patterns, simplifying the process. This could pave the way for faster, denser, and more efficient data storage systems. Read more
