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.

Эта статья про одну клавишу и рефлекс длиной в двадцать с лишним лет.С 2003-го у меня привычка: палец сам идёт на NumLock → появляется калькулятор. Пользовался каждый день, тысячи нажатий. Потом пришли Win11 и корпоративный запрет *.exe – клавиша опустела, а палец всё равно идёт.В какой-то момент надоело, сел и сделал скрипт. Код писала нейросеть, а я три ночи подряд тыкал её носом в то, что не работает. По дороге... Read more ›

Делюсь своими размышлениями по книге «Основные законы человеческой глупости» Карло Чиполлы. Что, если глупость — это не «баг», а «фича» мироздания? А иррациональные поступки могут быть природным механизмом сдерживания прогресса. Автор пытается «выявить, распознать и по возможности нейтрализовать одну из наиболее могущественных и тёмных сил, которые всячески препятствуют возрастанию человеческого благополучия и счастья».

A surprising new study suggests that eating a very healthy diet—packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—might be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in younger non-smokers. Researchers found that patients under 50 diagnosed with lung cancer often had better-than-average diets, raising the possibility that pesticide exposure from conventionally grown produce could be a hidden culprit.

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The method outperformed standard models while using far less memory. This could have big implications for fields like climate science, energy, and medicine. Read more ›

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during totality. The effect was so pronounced that it created a clear “seismic hush” across urban areas directly in the eclipse’s path, before quickly rebounding afterward. Read more ›

Some of the ocean’s fastest and most fearsome predators—like great white sharks and tuna—are running hotter than expected, and it’s costing them dearly. New research shows these warm-bodied fish burn nearly four times more energy than cold-blooded species, forcing them to eat more while also struggling to shed excess heat. As oceans warm, this creates a dangerous “double jeopardy”: rising temperatures push them closer to overheating, while shrinking food supplies... Read more ›

Scientists drilling deep beneath Greenland’s ice have uncovered a startling clue about its past—and future. Evidence shows that the Prudhoe Dome, a major high point of the ice sheet, completely melted around 7,000 years ago during a relatively mild natural warming period. That means this supposedly stable ice cap is far more fragile than once thought, raising concerns that today’s human-driven warming could trigger similar or even faster ice loss. Read more ›

Caffeine doesn’t just perk up humans—it can sharpen ants’ minds too. Invasive Argentine ants given caffeinated sugar learned to find food much more efficiently, taking straighter paths and reducing travel time by up to 38%. They weren’t faster, just more focused, indicating improved learning. This unexpected effect could make pest control baits far more effective. Read more ›

That “magic” sponge under your sink may be hiding an environmental downside. While melamine sponges are famous for effortlessly scrubbing away stubborn stains, they slowly break down as you use them—shedding tiny plastic fibers that wash into water systems. Researchers estimate that globally, these sponges could release over a trillion microplastic fibers every month, potentially entering the food chain and affecting wildlife. Read more ›

Sitting all day might not be as damaging as once feared—if you’re willing to move more. A massive study tracking over 72,000 people found that simply increasing daily steps can significantly reduce the risk of death and heart disease, even for those who spend long hours sedentary. Hitting around 9,000–10,000 steps a day delivered the biggest benefits, cutting mortality risk by nearly 40% and cardiovascular disease by over 20%. Read more ›

Scientists have captured stunning new insights into one of the universe’s most powerful phenomena—black hole jets—by using a planet-sized network of radio telescopes. Focusing on Cygnus X-1, one of the first known black holes, they measured jets blasting out with the energy of 10,000 Suns and moving at half the speed of light. By watching these jets get pushed and bent by the fierce stellar winds of a nearby supergiant... Read more ›
