Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked photonic crystals and adjusting their spacing with a tiny mechanical system, they can control how light’s “handedness” behaves. This allows the chip to distinguish between left- and right-circular polarized light with remarkable precision. The advance could lead to smarter sensors, faster communications, and new quantum technologies.

Изучая работы по экономике профессуры ВУЗов США, я несколько раз встретил термины «гаражная вера» и «религия рынка». Несколько авторов утверждало, что теория «свободного рынка» в системе образования занимает место установленной государством религии, а популярные рассказы о «миллиардерах из гаража» не блещут объективизмом о причинах подлинного успеха известных стартапов. В поиске литературы на эти темы я вышел на книгу Малкольма Гладуэлла «Гении и аутсайдеры», которую рекомендую к чтению. Ниже – её... Read more ›

Yesterday was filled with a barrage of Motorola leaked renders, showing the Razr 70, Razr 70 Ultra, and the Edge 70 Pro. Today, the Edge 70 Pro and Razr 70 Ultra have been spotted in two separate certification databases. The Razr 70 Ultra with the model number XT2655-4 has been given the go-ahead in China by 3C. The certification reveals that it will have support for 68W wired charging. Incidentally,... Read more ›

Sick! The Federal Aviation Administration is targeting gamers in its most recent job advertisement for air traffic controllers. The administration's annual hiring window opens at 12AM ET on April 17, and considering the ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers, it's calling this a period of "supercharged hiring." Rad! The FAA's YouTube video draws parallels between gaming and directing air traffic, and notes that the average salary for the role after... Read more ›

Researchers say the world's largest known wild chimpanzee community in Uganda fractured into rival factions and has been locked in a vicious "civil war" for the last eight years. "It is not clear exactly why the once close-knit community of Ngogo chimpanzees at Uganda's Kibale National Park are at loggerheads, but since 2018 the scientists have recorded 24 killings, including 17 infants," reports the BBC. From the report: [O]ver several... Read more ›

Four separate RSAC 2026 keynotes arrived at the same conclusion without coordinating. Microsoft's Vasu Jakkal told attendees that zero trust must extend to AI. Cisco's Jeetu Patel called for a shift from access control to action control, saying in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat that agents behave "more like teenagers, supremely intelligent, but with no fear of consequence." CrowdStrike's George Kurtz identified AI governance as the biggest gap in enterprise... Read more ›

С недавних пор маме стало трудно пользоваться сотовым телефоном, в основном из-за проблем со зрением. Даже простейший сотовый телефон требовал его разблокировать, выбрать нужный пункт меню, найти нужного адресата, нажать на кнопку вызова. Кнопка «SOS», имеющаяся у некоторых телефонов, рассчитанных на пожилых людей, казалось бы, должна решить запутанность UX/UI. Но она также создаёт проблемы: требует долгого нажатия, и кроме дозвона на нужные номера, включает громкую сирену, которую отключить нельзя. Есть... Read more ›

Saturn’s magnetic field isn’t the smooth, symmetrical shield scientists see around Earth. Instead, it’s noticeably skewed, and researchers now think they understand why. By analyzing years of data from the Cassini spacecraft, scientists found that a key region where solar particles enter Saturn’s atmosphere is consistently shifted to one side. This distortion appears to be driven by the planet’s rapid spin combined with a thick cloud of charged particles coming... Read more ›

Asteroid impacts may have helped kick-start life on Earth by creating hot, chemical-rich environments ideal for early biology. These impact-generated hydrothermal systems could have lasted thousands of years—long enough for life’s building blocks to form. Scientists now think these environments may have been common on early Earth, making them a strong candidate for where life began. The idea could also guide the search for life on other worlds.

A new pill called baxdrostat is showing strong results in lowering dangerously high blood pressure in people who don’t respond to standard treatments. In a large global trial, patients saw their blood pressure drop by nearly 10 mmHg, a meaningful reduction that can significantly lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. By targeting a hormone that causes the body to retain salt and water, this treatment could... Read more ›

A group of undergraduate students stumbled into a cosmic time capsule—one of the oldest stars ever discovered—while combing through massive astronomy datasets. What began as a class project quickly turned into a breakthrough when they spotted an extraordinarily “pristine” star made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, hinting it formed near the dawn of the universe.

Dying stars may be wiping out nearby giant planets as they expand into red giants. Astronomers found that these close-in planets become increasingly rare around more evolved stars, suggesting many have already been swallowed. The likely cause is a gravitational tug that drags planets inward until they break apart or fall into the star. It’s a dramatic glimpse into the chaotic final stages of planetary systems. Read more ›

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise. Researchers have developed a cleaner, more controlled way to build these materials using molten salts and iodine, eliminating the messy chemical processes that once left their surfaces disordered. The result is a perfectly arranged atomic structure that lets electrons flow with remarkable ease, boosting conductivity by up to 160 times. Read more ›

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by interacting with neurons in real time. Changing astrocyte activity directly altered how strong fear memories became. This breakthrough could lead to entirely new treatments for anxiety-related disorders. Read more ›

Warming across the U.S. is far more uneven than it looks at first glance. While only about half of states show rising average temperatures, most are heating up in specific ways—like hotter highs or warmer lows. These hidden shifts vary by region, with the West seeing more extreme heat and the North losing cold extremes. The findings suggest climate change is playing out differently depending on where you live. Read more ›

Many people think that occasional binge drinking is harmless if they otherwise drink in moderation, but new research suggests that assumption may be dangerously wrong. A large U.S. study found that people with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition affecting about one in three adults, face a much higher risk of serious liver scarring if they engage in heavy drinking even just once a month.

A sweeping new study reveals that as Arctic permafrost thaws, it is dramatically reshaping rivers and releasing vast amounts of ancient carbon that had been locked away for thousands of years. By analyzing decades of high-resolution data across northern Alaska, scientists found that runoff is increasing, rivers are carrying more dissolved carbon, and the thawing season is stretching further into the fall. This carbon eventually reaches the ocean, where some... Read more ›
