Dragonflies may see the world in a way that pushes beyond human limits—and surprisingly, they do it using the same molecular trick we evolved ourselves. Scientists discovered that these insects can detect extremely deep red light, even edging into near-infrared, thanks to a specialized visual protein strikingly similar to the one in human eyes. This ability likely helps them spot mates mid-flight by picking up subtle differences in reflected light.

France says it plans to move some government computers from Windows to Linux as part of a broader push for digital sovereignty and reduced dependence on U.S. technology. TechCrunch reports: In a statement, French minister David Amiel said (translated) that the effort was to "regain control of our digital destiny" by relying less on U.S. tech companies. Amiel said that the French government can no longer accept that it doesn't... Read more ›

За последние два года рынок нейросетей для обработки фотографий буквально взорвался. Среди десятков инструментов особое место заняло приложение Нано Банана — ИИ-фотосервис, который позволяет генерировать, ретушировать, трансформировать и стилизовать фотографии с помощью текстовых промтов. Аудитория инструмента растёт ежемесячно, и всё больше специалистов — фотографы, маркетологи, HR-менеджеры, дизайнеры — задаются одним вопросом: как правильно писать промты для Нано Банана, чтобы получать профессиональный р Read more ›

![[Перевод] Самый простой способ устроить утечку памяти в Java](https://times42.com/media/0/2/1/12261021_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Самый простой способ устроить утечку памяти в Java")
В новом переводе от команды Spring АйО рассмотрим утечки памяти в Java.Не секрет, что GC освобождает только недостижимые объекты. Утечка в Java начинается там, где объект уже не нужен, но на него все еще есть цепочка ссылок от живого потока.Симптомы обычно одинаковые: куча растет, GC срабатывает чаще, паузы увеличиваются, финал - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.В целом вывод такой, что нужно смотреть график heap в VisualVM/JVisualVM/JConsole, снимать heap dump (jmap), в...

A warrantless wiretapping authority that has facilitated surveillance for decades is up for renewal in Congress. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), last reauthorized in 2024, is set to expire on April 20th. A bipartisan coalition of progressive Democrats and members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus say it's long overdue for reform. […] Read more ›

С появлением ИИ-инструментов код в проектах начал расти быстрее. Новый сервис, багфикс или интеграцию теперь можно получить быстрее чем согласование изменений, но цена архитектурной ошибки на этом фоне только растёт.Проблема не в том, что ИИ пишет плохой код, а в том, что он ускоряет накопление расхождений между тем, какой систему задумывали изначально, и тем, во что она превращается по мере изменений. Если архитектурные ограничения не формализованы и не проверяются автоматически,... 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 ›
