For years, scientists believed our lifespan was mostly shaped by environment and chance, with genetics playing only a minor role. But a new study from the Weizmann Institute flips that idea on its head, revealing that genes may actually account for about half of the differences in how long people live. By analyzing massive twin datasets—including twins raised apart—and using innovative simulations to filter out deaths from accidents and other external causes, researchers uncovered a hidden genetic influence

The status of American democracy feels paradoxical: somehow both damaged and well-functioning at the same time. On the one hand, the United States has a president who is acting like a dictator: threatening to wipe out an entire civilization, menacing allies with threats to annex their territory, targeting domestic enemies with spurious criminal investigations, and […] Read more ›

Ericsson’s vision for 6G centres on an “intelligent fabric” where AI is built into the network itself. This would allow networks to process data and act in real time. The transition to 6G is becoming clear as telecom companies move beyond early research and begin testing how future networks might work in practice. At Mobile ... Read more ›

«Я весь в операционке, мне не о чем рассказать на публику».Эту фразу я слышу от инженеров постоянно, и именно она — главный тормоз для бренда работодателя в тех-компаниях. Самые крутые эксперты часто не видят в своей «ежедневной магии» ничего особенного, в то время как Senior-кандидаты давно перестали верить рекламным слоганам. Им нужны живые кейсы, разборы архитектуры и люди, с которыми придется спорить на митингах.В этой статье я поделюсь опытом создания... Read more ›

Привет, дорогой читатель! На связи Саша, системный администратор из отдела хелпдеска в ЮMoney, вот уже 20 лет как «тот самый шумный сосед» — барабанщик. Сегодня я приоткрою завесу нашей деятельности, возможно, вдохновлю кого-то на первый шаг в работе с «железом» — компьютерным или барабанным.Как ни странно, но в обеих профессиях началось всё примерно идентично: меня привели, показали, и в моей голове прозвучала фраза: «Это то, чем я хочу заниматься».

Scientists have taken a major step toward probing one of physics’ biggest mysteries—how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together—by creating the first unified way to detect tiny “ripples” in spacetime itself. These subtle fluctuations, long predicted but poorly defined, are now organized into clear categories with specific signals that real-world instruments can search for. The breakthrough means powerful tools like LIGO and even small tabletop experiments could start testing competing... Read more ›

Scientists have identified a little-known receptor, GPR133, as a powerful regulator of bone strength. By activating it with a newly discovered compound called AP503, they were able to boost bone density in mice and counteract osteoporosis-like damage. The finding opens the door to a new kind of treatment that could not only prevent bone loss but also rebuild weakened bones, offering fresh hope for millions affected by osteoporosis, especially aging...

A newly discovered group of tarantulas is so bizarre that scientists had to invent a whole new genus—Satyrex—to describe them. With unusually long mating appendages and fierce, hissing defenses, these spiders are as strange as they are intimidating. Read more ›

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a meal, glucose triggers tanycytes, which send signals to astrocytes that then activate fullness neurons. This newly discovered pathway could lead to innovative treatments for obesity and eating disorders. Read more ›

Is consciousness something the brain produces, or is it woven into the fabric of reality itself? Renowned neuroscientist Christof Koch is challenging long-held scientific assumptions by confronting the “hard problem” of consciousness — why and how subjective experience exists at all. He highlights growing tensions between neuroscience, physics, and unexplained phenomena like near-death experiences and sudden moments of clarity before death. Read more ›

A strange “forbidden” planet spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope is turning planetary science on its head. TOI-5205 b, a Jupiter-sized world orbiting a small, cool star, has an atmosphere surprisingly poor in heavy elements—even less enriched than its own star, which defies current theories of how giant planets form.

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements, phosphorus and nitrogen, to stay where life could use them. Too much or too little oxygen, and those ingredients could be lost or trapped deep inside the planet. This could reshape the search for life by showing that water alone... Read more ›

A remarkable fossil discovery in southwest China is rewriting the story of how complex animal life began, showing that many key animal groups appeared millions of years earlier than scientists once believed. Dating back over 540 million years, the fossils reveal a surprisingly diverse and advanced ecosystem from the late Ediacaran period—before the famous Cambrian explosion. Among the finds are early relatives of starfish, worm-like creatures, and even ancestors of... Read more ›

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows it didn’t form just because ocean gateways opened, but required shifting continents and powerful winds to align. This shift helped pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, contributing to a major cooling event that transformed Earth into the ice-covered world we know... Read more ›

A team of engineers has created a breakthrough memory device that keeps working at temperatures hotter than molten lava, shattering one of electronics’ biggest limits. Built from an unusual stack of ultra-durable materials, the tiny component can store data and perform calculations even at 700°C (1300°F), far beyond what today’s chips can handle. The discovery was partly accidental, but it revealed a powerful new mechanism that prevents heat-induced failure at... Read more ›
