ScienceDaily · 04/13/2026 04:12 EDT

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

Reggie Fils-Aimé says Amazon once asked Nintendo to break the law

Way back in the DS days, Nintendo decided to stop selling to Amazon. During a recent lecture at NYU, former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé said it was because Amazon was seeking preferential treatment that would have hurt its relationship with other retailers, and potentially broken the law. The two sides have since made […] Read more

[Перевод] Как определить, что текст был создан с помощью ИИ. Гибридный лингвистический подход

Я работаю в PR с 2001 года. Тогда профессия пиарщика активно развивалась, на рынке было много политтехнологов и консультантов. За 25 лет профессия сильно трансформировалась, в том числе и по части подготовки контента в различных форматах. И если раньше мы по крупицам собирали информацию и превращали ее в разные материалы, то сегодня контент создается намного быстрее. Каждый раз читаешь новую статью с мыслью: а уникальный ли это контент? Написано самостоятельно,... Read more

Привет, Хабр.Я Java-разработчик и в основном работаю с backend: Spring Boot, базы данных, интеграции, авторизация, WebSocket — всё то, что обычно находится за интерфейсом.В какой-то момент я поймал себя на мысли: я каждый день пользуюсь мессенджерами, но плохо понимаю, как они устроены внутри.

Mixing up your workouts might be the real secret to a longer life. Long-term research tracking over 100,000 people for more than three decades suggests that doing a variety of physical activities—rather than just more of the same—can significantly lower the risk of death. Interestingly, the benefits don’t keep rising endlessly; they seem to level off after a certain point, hinting at a “sweet spot” of activity. Read more

A bizarre, cyclops-like creature from nearly 600 million years ago may hold the key to how your eyes—and even your sleep cycle—evolved. Scientists have discovered that all vertebrates, including humans, trace their vision back to a single light-sensitive “median eye” perched atop a worm-like ancestor’s head. As this ancient animal shifted from a sedentary to a more active lifestyle, it lost and then reinvented its vision, eventually giving rise to... Read more

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for months or even years. Researchers found that a small, little-known region called the caudal granular insular cortex (CGIC) acts like a command center, telling the body to keep pain signals alive long after an injury has healed. In animal studies, shutting down this pathway not only prevented chronic pain from forming... Read more

Scientists are making a major leap toward freezing organs for future use without damaging them. A new study reveals that one of the biggest obstacles—cracking during ultra-cold preservation—can be reduced by carefully tuning the temperature at which tissues enter a glass-like state. This breakthrough builds on recent successes in cryopreserved organ transplants and could bring the long-imagined idea of “banking” organs for later use much closer to reality. Read more

A new study reveals that internalizing stress—especially feelings of hopelessness—may significantly speed up memory decline in older Chinese Americans. Surprisingly, factors like community support didn’t show the same impact. Researchers say cultural pressures and stereotypes may cause emotional struggles to go unnoticed and untreated. The findings suggest that targeted, culturally sensitive stress relief could play a powerful role in preserving cognitive health. Read more

A newly discovered prehistoric mammal may hold clues to how life survived the dinosaur-killing extinction. The tiny species, Cimolodon desosai, lived 75 million years ago and had traits—like a small body and varied diet—that likely boosted survival odds. Found in Baja California, the fossil includes rare skeletal remains that reveal how it moved and lived. Researchers believe its lineage helped mammals endure one of Earth’s deadliest events.
