An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: The Food and Drug Administration approved the first gene therapy to restore hearing for people who were born deaf. The decision, while only immediately affecting people born with a very rare form of genetic deafness, is being hailed as a milestone in the quest to treat hearing loss. "It's the first time in history there's a new drug for hearing loss," says Zheng-Yi Chen, an associate scientist at Mass Eye and Ear in Boston who was not involved in the development

Два фактора играют доминирующую роль в нашем поиске жизни и пригодных для жизни условий в других частях Галактики. Первый — это жидкая вода, которая, насколько нам известно, необходима для жизни. Когда мы обнаруживаем экзопланеты, учёные пытаются определить, находятся ли они в зоне обитаемости своих звёзд. При подходящих атмосферных условиях жидкая вода может на них сохраняться.Второй фактор — биосигнатуры. Одной из причин создания «Уэбба» было изучение атмосфер экзопланет и определение их...

Если вы в прошлом пользовались каким-то из этих инструментов, то, вероятно, сталкивались с чем-то подобным: вы просите модель устранить простой баг (допустим, ошибку смещения на единицу или не тот оператор).
