1087 These “smart” crystals bend and snap back when hit with light

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 03/31/2026 03:22 EDT

Perovskite crystals can dramatically and reversibly change shape when hit with light, a behavior not seen in conventional semiconductors. This effect, called photostriction, can be finely tuned depending on the light’s intensity and color. Researchers say these materials act more like adjustable systems than simple switches. The finding could lead to a new generation of light-powered sensors and devices.

Мюоний в картинках

Весной 2022 года я поднимал в этом блоге две необычные темы из области фундаментальной химии. Первая называлась «Из чего состоит мировой эфир. Последняя теория Менделеева» — в ней я рассказывал, как Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев, продолжая опираться на атомный вес, пытался надстроить «нулевой» период над водородом и, вероятно, неосознанно двигался к открытию нейтрона. Вторая статья называлась «Распад протона – невозможность 2,5 класса». Наряду с проблемой практически абсолютной стабильности протона (без внешне Read more

New Star Wars Movie Falls to #3 Behind Two Movies Directed By YouTube Stars

Disney's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu "suffered a catastrophic 70% drop in its second weekend," reports Variety, suggesting the movie isn't finding audiences "beyond an aging group of core fans." "Despite playing on far more screens, The Mandalorian and Grogu landed in third place on weekend charts behind Backrooms and Obsession." (described as "two buzzy horror films.") Suprisingly, both movies were directed by 20-something YouTube stars, "and cost nearly... Read more

Как создать карточку товара и инфографику для маркетплейсов в нейросети: WB, Ozon, ЯМ

На Wildberries и Ozon покупатель решает, открыть карточку или пролистнуть дальше, за доли секунды — и решает по первому изображению. Не по цене, не по отзывам, а по тому, как выглядит главное фото и насколько понятно с него, что за товар перед ним. Поэтому визуал карточки давно перестал быть украшением и стал инструментом продаж: хорошая инфографика поднимает конверсию ощутимее, чем очередная скидка.Проблема в том, что сделать такой визуал вручную —...

Scientists at UT Southwestern have uncovered a surprising new “master switch” that helps control how much cholesterol the liver sends into the bloodstream. The newly identified protein, HELZ2, works by shutting down the genetic instructions needed to produce apoB — a key building block of the cholesterol-carrying particles linked to clogged arteries and heart disease.

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking two proteins, researchers turned these cells into far more effective cancer fighters against difficult cancers like leukemia, glioblastoma, kidney cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer.

Drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice may do more than support heart health — it could actually reshape the bacteria living in the mouth in ways that help lower blood pressure in older adults. In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that older people who drank concentrated beetroot juice twice daily for two weeks experienced noticeable blood pressure reductions, while younger adults did not.

A massive international study could upend 40 years of heart attack treatment. Researchers found that beta blockers—routinely prescribed after uncomplicated heart attacks—offered no real benefit for patients whose heart function remained normal, despite being given to millions worldwide. Even more surprising, women taking the drugs faced a higher risk of death, repeat heart attack, or hospitalization for heart failure compared to women who didn’t receive them. Read more

The discovery is so unusual that researchers say these crab-like “chelae” evolved independently in this lineage, making it only the fourth known example of such structures appearing in insects at all.
