Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance. Tiny virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs), once ancient viral invaders, have been repurposed by bacteria into delivery systems that shuttle DNA between neighboring cells. The study reveals a key control hub of three genes, dubbed LypABC, that triggers bacterial cells to burst open and release these DNA-packed couriers.

The aorta of the global energy economy has been clogged for more than a month now. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway connecting the Gulf oil producers to global markets — has throttled worldwide energy production and driven up the prices of gasoline, diesel, fertilizer, plastics, and myriad other commodities.

Apple plans to release iPad mini and MacBook Pro models with OLED displays this year, according to industry sources who spoke to South Korea's ETNews. The current iPad mini and MacBook Pro models have LCD displays with either LED or mini-LED backlighting. The move to OLED technology would result in improved image quality, thanks to richer colors and higher contrast ratio with true blacks. Samsung will supply the OLED displays... Read more ›

Проект кто-то заказывает — это Заказчик. И его кто-то реализует — Исполнитель. Очень часто это разные юридические лица, часто исполнителей несколько, и также часто у исполнителя есть субподрядчики. В проекте есть и специфичный объем Заказчика (например, поставить задачу и согласовать результаты) и Исполнителя (например, выполнить работы в соответствии со своими компетенциями, ради чего его и позвали). И со стороны может показаться, что они делают один проект. Более того, сам вопрос... Read more ›

Apple has introduced a subtle modification to the App Store interface on iOS, altering the layout and nomenclature of the section used to manage app updates. This change appears to be a server-side update, as it has been observed by users running both iOS 26.4.1 and the iOS 26.5 beta without the requirement of a local software installation. Navigation and Naming Changes The primary adjustment involves the reorganization of the... Read more ›

Я продаю искусство через аукционы и маркетплейсы. Угадайте, где я зарабатываю большеОднажды муж сказал мне «хватит работать на дядю по восемнадцать часов в день, лучше уж восемнадцать часов работать на себя». Я работала арт-консультантом, вела коллекции, сотрудничала с музеями и галереями. И честно говоря, не представляла, насколько тяжело открывать собственный бизнес. Особенно в сфере, которая в России до сих пор работает по понятиям девяностых. Читать далее Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! С тобой снова на связи Майя с очередным обзором. Два месяца назад писала про напоминалки для iPhone. Теперь посмотрим, что есть для Android. Рынок напоминалок для Android перенасыщен: от простых стикеров до полноценных таск-менеджеров с AI. Выбрать сложно, потому что маркетинговые описания одинаковые, а реальные различия — в деталях. Я собрала 10 приложений с разной философией и разложила их по сценариям использования, чтобы вы сразу нашли своё. Читать... Read more ›

Startup Donut Lab made a splash at the start of the year with some astonishing — and suspicious — claims about its solid state batteries. Now Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat reports an individual has filed a criminal whistleblower complaint against the company over those claims. Until recently, Lauri Peltola was listed as the Chief Commercial Officer at Nordic Nano — the firm reportedly contracted to handle portions of the manufacturing... Read more ›

Researchers have uncovered why a rare blood clotting disorder can occur after certain COVID-19 vaccines or adenovirus infections. The immune system can mistakenly target a normal blood protein (PF4) after confusing it with a viral protein. This triggers clotting in extremely rare cases. The breakthrough means vaccines can now be redesigned to avoid this reaction while staying effective. Read more ›

Losing your sense of smell might signal Alzheimer’s far earlier than expected. Scientists found that immune cells in the brain actively destroy smell-related nerve fibers after detecting abnormal signals on their surfaces. This damage begins in early stages of the disease, well before cognitive decline. The discovery could help identify at-risk patients sooner and improve treatment timing. Read more ›

A major study suggests that when you eat could play a key role in staying lean. People who fast longer overnight and start their day with an early breakfast were more likely to have a lower BMI years later. Scientists think this is because eating earlier aligns better with the body’s internal clock. But skipping breakfast as part of intermittent fasting didn’t offer the same advantage—and may even be tied... Read more ›

Putting on weight earlier in life may be more dangerous than previously thought. Researchers found that early adulthood obesity significantly raises the risk of premature death, especially from major diseases like heart disease and diabetes. The longer the body carries excess weight, the greater the damage appears to be. Interestingly, cancer risk in women didn’t follow this pattern, suggesting other biological factors are at play.

A major international effort has produced an ultra-precise measurement of the Universe’s expansion rate, confirming it’s faster than early-Universe models predict. By linking multiple distance-measuring techniques, scientists ruled out simple errors as the cause of the discrepancy. The persistent “Hubble tension” now looks more real than ever. It could mean our current model of the cosmos is incomplete. Read more ›

Mars may be hostile, but it might not be entirely unlivable. In lab experiments, yeast cells survived simulated Martian shock waves and toxic perchlorate salts—two major environmental threats on the Red Planet. Their secret weapon was forming protective molecular clusters that shield critical cellular functions under stress. Without these defenses, survival plummeted, pointing to a potential universal strategy life could use beyond Earth. Read more ›

A new nanodisc-based platform lets scientists study viral proteins in a form that closely mimics real viruses, revealing how antibodies truly recognize them. This approach uncovered hidden interactions in viruses like HIV and Ebola that traditional methods missed. By recreating the virus’s membrane environment, researchers can better understand how immune defenses work. The technique could speed up the development of more effective vaccines. Read more ›

Researchers are launching a new project to crack the mystery of aggressive breast cancer, where predicting disease progression remains a major hurdle. By studying how tumors interact with and suppress the immune system, scientists aim to identify new biomarkers that reveal how the cancer evolves. Using real patient samples, the team hopes to turn earlier discoveries into practical clinical tools. The goal: more precise, personalized treatments that can outsmart even... Read more ›
