ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 05/03/2026 07:47 EDT

By uncovering circular reasoning in how physicists think about time and entropy, the study raises fresh doubts about what we can truly know about the past.

Сколько стоят ошибки в арбитраже: декомпозиция ценообразования на судебные услуги в Москве

Судебный процесс в арбитражном суде для коммерческой организации — это не просто правовой спор, а контролируемый инвестиционный проект со своими рисками, операционными затратами и прогнозируемой окупаемостью (ROI). Когда компания сталкивается с необходимостью защиты активов, взыскания убытков или оспаривания доначислений налогового органа, на первый план выходит финансовая составляющая. Информационное пространство перенасыщено коммерческими предложениями, где разброс цен на ведение одного и того же кейса мо Read more

Использование тепла ЦОД в мире и РФ

Всем привет!Хотелось бы поговорить о выбросах тепла ЦОД в атмосферу и способах его использования. Все уже слышали про прогрессивные скандинавские проекты, когда лишнее тепло ЦОД используется в разных отраслях: в ЖКХ, деревообработке и даже в общественных финских саунах.Все это красивые проекты, призванные популяризировать такой безотходный подход к использованию энергии. Но действительно ли он имеет практический смысл или это очередная мода на “зеленую” энергию? Давайте разбираться.В этой статье речь пойдет Read more

Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen — and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Surprisingly, tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming... Read more

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new trick used by one of cancer’s most notorious proteins. MYC, already infamous for fueling runaway tumor growth, also appears to help cancer cells survive by repairing their damaged DNA — including damage caused by chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers found that MYC can rush directly to broken DNA and recruit repair machinery, effectively helping tumors recover from treatments meant to destroy them. Read more

For years, “yo-yo dieting” has been blamed for wrecking metabolism and causing lasting damage, but a major new review says the fear may be wildly overblown. After analyzing decades of studies in humans and animals, researchers found little convincing evidence that losing weight and regaining it actually causes long-term harm. While regaining weight can erase some health improvements, it doesn’t appear to make people worse off than before. Read more

A spectacular dinosaur discovery in Spain is giving scientists a rare new look inside the world of stegosaurs. Paleontologists uncovered the best-preserved stegosaur skull ever found in Europe, belonging to the iconic plated dinosaur Dacentrurus armatus, which roamed Earth around 150 million years ago. Because stegosaur skulls are extremely fragile and almost never survive intact, the fossil is helping researchers uncover previously unknown details about how these armored giants evolved. Read more

A new nanotechnology treatment reversed Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice by restoring the brain’s natural cleanup system. The specially engineered nanoparticles helped clear toxic amyloid proteins from the brain and repair the blood-brain barrier, which normally protects and regulates the brain’s environment. In one striking experiment, elderly mice treated with the therapy later behaved like healthy younger mice. Read more

Surprisingly, climate and mantle processes played only a minor role. The discovery could reshape how scientists understand mountain building across the planet. Read more
