Scientists Shocked To Find Lab Gloves May Be Skewing Microplastics Data

Researchers found that common nitrile and latex lab gloves can shed stearate particles that closely resemble microplastics, potentially "increasing the risk of false positives when studying microplastic pollution," reports ScienceDaily.

"We may be overestimating microplastics, but there should be none," said Anne McNeil, senior author of the study and U-M professor of chemistry, macromolecular science and engineering. "There's still a lot out there, and that's the problem." From the report: Researchers fo

Как поход в кино превратился в сессию системного дизайна

В нем прозрачный элемент внутри корпуса выполняет функцию радиомодуля. Там размещена металлическая структура, формирующая покрытие на 360° без выносных антенн. Роутер работает в двух диапазонах с суммарной скоростью до 3,6 Гбит/с и поддерживает ключевые возможности Wi-Fi 7, включая одновременное использование нескольких каналов и б Read more

Почему эволюция не прошла бы код-ревью: инженерный разбор гемоглобина

Представьте, что вам на собеседовании дали задачу: спроектировать систему доставки газа по трубам переменного давления, причём система должна загружаться почти на 100% в зоне высокого давления, а разгружаться (быстро и почти полностью) в зоне низкого. Вы бы, наверное, нарисовали линейную зависимость. Больше давления — больше загрузка. Просто, и главное, что будет легко тестировать.Эволюция посмотрела на этот вариант, подумала 500 миллионов лет и сделала всё наоборот. Читать далее Read more
