ScienceDaily 1 place · today 04:51 EDT

A star you can see with the naked eye has kept astronomers guessing for decades with its unusually powerful X-rays. Now, thanks to highly precise observations from Japan’s XRISM space telescope, scientists have finally uncovered the source: a hidden white dwarf companion pulling in material and generating extreme heat. This discovery not only solves a 50-year-old mystery surrounding Gamma Cassiopeiae, but also confirms the existence of a long-predicted type of binary star system.

How Iran’s cheap drones are changing warfare

After more than three weeks of war in Iran, the US has destroyed major components of Iran’s military, including ballistic missile sites and much of the country’s navy. One advantage Iran retains, though, is the Shahed-136. The Shahed, a one-way, single-use attack drone, is small, inexpensive, and highly accurate. Iranian drone attacks have led to […] Read more

Черная магия FPGA-разработчика: как мы превращаем идеи в железо

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Кирилл Алексеев, я старший инженер по разработке аппаратного обеспечения в отделе интеграции систем на кристалле радиочастотного центра YADRO. В мире FPGA я уже больше 10 лет. В учебных программах разработка под FPGA (ПЛИС, программируемые логические интегральные схемы) освещается довольно мало. Может возникнуть ощущение, что это «странная» область предназначена только для радиофизиков или гиков. Но и в эту сферу уже давно пришел прогресс с системами контроля версий,... Read more

Происхождение, часть 1. Самовоспроизводство и диссипативная адаптация

Зарождение жизни – случайность или неизбежность? Что это было: почти невероятное событие, которое произошло на планете Земля благодаря удачному стечению обстоятельств около четырёх миллиардов лет назад, или прямое следствие законов физики и один из этапов эволюции Вселенной? Неужели жизнь настолько сложна, что не могла появится сама по себе без участия создателя? Возможна ли она в принципе без специальных начальных условий Большого взрыва и «тонкой настройки» физических констант? Действительно ли появление. Read more

От 0.034 до 0.791 и обратно: Legal RAG, 17 итераций и стена масштабирования

Я участвовал в ARLC 2026 — юридическом AI-челлендже по построению RAG-пайплайна поверх корпуса судебных решений и законов. Соло, с Claude Code в качестве напарника. За 5 дней и 17 итераций прошёл путь от 0.034 до 0.791 на warmup — а потом вышел в финал и потерял 42% на 300 документах вместо 30. Внутри — архитектура, код, математика F-beta, три провала и честный разбор работы с AI-ассистентом. Читать далее Read more

Sony and Honda kill its Afeela EVs

Sony Honda Mobility, the automotive venture from two of Japan’s most storied companies, has swung the axe on its EV project. In a statement, it said it would “discontinue the development and launch” of the Afeela 1 and 2, its long-in-development electric cars. The company added it would review its “business direction,” and announce its future plans “at the earliest possible opportunity.” Which, if we’re honest, probably means the whole... Read more

Pink granite boulders sitting mysteriously atop Antarctica’s Hudson Mountains have led scientists to a stunning discovery: a hidden granite mass buried beneath Pine Island Glacier, stretching nearly 100 km wide and 7 km thick. By dating the rocks to the Jurassic period and matching them with gravity signals detected from aircraft, researchers solved a decades-old puzzle about their origin. Read more

Your morning coffee or tea could be quietly supporting your brain health. A long-term study found that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea was linked to an 18% lower risk of dementia and better cognitive performance over time. The benefits appeared strongest at 2–3 cups of coffee or 1–2 cups of tea daily—and even held true for people genetically predisposed to dementia. Read more

Cycling might be one of the simplest ways for older adults to stay healthier, longer. A 10-year study in Japan found that seniors who rode bicycles had lower risks of needing long-term care and dying—especially those who didn’t drive. Continuing or even starting cycling later in life still delivered noticeable benefits. The results highlight biking as a surprisingly powerful tool for maintaining independence and well-being.

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species, and some human cancer drugs may also work in cats. Because pets share our environments, these similarities could reveal shared causes of cancer. The research could lead to new treatments that benefit both animals and humans. Read more

Scientists recreated a life-size oviraptor nest to understand how these dinosaurs hatched their eggs. Their experiments showed the parent likely couldn’t heat all the eggs directly, meaning sunlight played a key role. This uneven heating could cause eggs in the same nest to hatch at different times. The results suggest oviraptors used a hybrid incubation method unlike modern birds. Read more

Tropical peatlands, some of the planet’s largest underground carbon stores, are now burning at levels never seen in at least 2,000 years. By analyzing charcoal preserved in peat across multiple continents, scientists discovered that fires had actually been declining for more than a thousand years, largely shaped by natural climate patterns like drought. That long trend suddenly reversed in the 20th century, with a sharp surge in wildfires—especially in Southeast... Read more

For years, people with prediabetes have been told the same thing: lose weight or risk developing diabetes. But new research flips that idea on its head, showing that blood sugar can return to normal even without shedding pounds. The key isn’t just how much fat you carry—it’s where it’s stored. Harmful fat deep in the abdomen fuels inflammation and disrupts insulin, while fat under the skin can actually support healthier... Read more

A new study suggests that eating less sweet food doesn’t make people crave it any less—or improve their health markers. Participants who increased or decreased sweetness in their diets showed no changes in preferences, weight, or disease risk. Many even returned to their old eating habits over time. Researchers say it may be time to rethink guidelines that focus on cutting sweetness instead of reducing sugar and calories. Read more

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb experiment. Scientists observed it through its decay into lighter particles in high-energy collisions. The finding confirms predictions and settles a decades-long question about its existence. Read more
