Many people believe closing their eyes sharpens hearing, but that is not always true. In noisy settings, participants struggled more to hear faint sounds with their eyes closed, while matching visuals made it easier. Researchers found that shutting the eyes leads the brain to over-filter incoming sounds. Keeping your eyes open may actually improve how well you hear in noise.

Как сделать карточки для маркетплейса за 5 минут: нейросеть, которая делает фото товара продающим

Знакомая история - товар хороший. Цена нормальная. Но карточка на Wildberries или Ozon выглядит так, будто её фотографировали на кухне при выключенном свете. Конверсия — ноль. Продаж — нет.Раньше выход был один: нанять фотографа, арендовать студию, заплатить дизайнеру за обработку. Это время и деньги — от 5 000 до 30 000 рублей за одну позицию. Для малого бизнеса или начинающего селлера — часто неподъёмно.Теперь есть другой путь. Читать далее Read more

OpenAI To Limit New Model Release On Cybersecurity Fears

OpenAI is reportedly preparing a new cybersecurity product for a small group of partners, out of concern that a broader rollout could wreak havoc if it were released more widely.

Scientists have discovered a way to make French fries less greasy without ruining their taste. By combining regular frying with microwave heating, they reduce the amount of oil absorbed during cooking. The key lies in pressure inside the food—microwaves help push oil out instead of letting it seep in. The result: faster cooking, lower fat, and fries that can still stay crispy. Read more

Fast fashion might come with a hidden danger: lead. Researchers testing children’s shirts from multiple retailers found every sample exceeded U.S. safety limits, raising concerns about toxic exposure—especially since young kids often chew on clothing. Brightly colored fabrics like red and yellow showed particularly high levels, likely due to chemicals used to fix dyes. Simulations suggest that even brief mouthing could expose children to unsafe amounts of lead, a substance... Read more

A new study reveals that aging lungs may play a major role in why flu and COVID can become so dangerous for older adults. Researchers found that certain lung cells can trigger an exaggerated immune response, creating clusters of inflammatory cells that end up damaging lung tissue instead of protecting it. In experiments, activating this aging-related signal in young mice caused their lungs to behave like older ones, leading to... Read more

A puzzling wrinkled rock formation in Morocco has led scientists to rethink where ancient microbes could live. Instead of shallow, sunlit waters, these microbes may have thrived deep in the ocean, fueled by chemicals delivered by underwater landslides. The discovery suggests that dark, nutrient-rich environments hosted thriving ecosystems much earlier than expected. It also raises the possibility that many similar fossils have been overlooked or misinterpreted. Read more

A newly identified gene mutation may help explain why schizophrenia patients struggle to update their understanding of reality. The mutation disrupts a brain circuit involved in flexible decision-making, causing mice to stick with outdated choices even when conditions change. Researchers pinpointed the issue to a key thalamus–prefrontal cortex pathway. By reactivating this circuit, they were able to restore normal behavior—raising hope for future therapies. Read more

Thousands of years ago in a cave on Hispaniola, an unusual chain of events left behind a rare scientific treasure: bees nesting inside fossilized bones. After giant barn owls repeatedly brought prey like hutias into the cave, their remains accumulated in silt-rich chambers—creating a strange underground environment. Later, burrowing bees took advantage of the soft sediment and even reused tiny cavities in fossilized jaws and bones as ready-made nests, coating... Read more

Even more striking, the diet didn’t just make patients feel better; it also reduced key biological... Read more
