A major obstacle may be standing in the way of the next generation of ultra-tiny computer chips. Researchers discovered that many promising 2D materials lose their advantages because an invisible atomic-scale gap forms when they are combined with insulating layers. That tiny gap weakens electronic performance and could prevent further miniaturization. The team says new “zipper materials” that lock together more tightly may offer a path forward.

Свежее исследование Стэнфорда (Nature Health, январь 2026) связало дальтонизм с поздней диагностикой рака мочевого пузыря — у пациентов-дальтоников смертность за 20 лет на 52% выше. Причина в том, что главный ранний симптом, кровь в моче, они просто не видят: цвет для них не считывается. Это медицинская история, но она точно описывает ошибку, которую дизайнеры делают каждый день — кодируют критическую информацию одним только цветом. Разбираю, как устроена эта ошибка в... Read more

Using the Keck Observatory, astronomers measured the spins of dozens of giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars. They found that giant planets can spin faster than much more massive brown dwarfs, challenging simple assumptions about mass and rotation. The results suggest that magnetic fields and formation processes play a major role in determining how fast worlds end up spinning. Read more
