929 Scientists discover hidden fat-burning switch that could strengthen bones

ScienceDaily

Scientists at McGill University have uncovered a hidden molecular “switch” that turns on a powerful calorie-burning system in brown fat — the body’s heat-generating fat linked to metabolism and weight control. The breakthrough centers on glycerol, a molecule released when fat is broken down in the cold, which activates an enzyme called TNAP and triggers an alternative heat-producing pathway that scientists had struggled to explain for years.

In the first quarter of 2026, investors poured roughly $242 billion into AI startups—about 80% of all venture capital deployed worldwide, according to Crunchbase. Nothing comparable appears in its historical data: never before had one sector absorbed such a large share of global startup investment in a single quarter.

The first quarter of 2026 was not just another strong period for AI fundraising. On Crunchbase’s numbers, it was a distortion of the venture market itself: one sector absorbed most of the capital deployed into startups worldwide. In Crunchbase’s April 1 report on global venture funding in Q1 2026, investors put $300 billion into about ... Read more Read more

Геометрическая динамика: пространство ускорений как решение задачи трех тел

Мы привыкли, что задача трех тел — это символ хаоса, проклятие небесной механики, над которой Пуанкаре махнул рукой в 1890-м. Ньютон не решил, Лагранж только частные случаи нашел, а мы решили — и никаких суперкомпьютеров NASA нам не понадобилось. Как? Мы перестали искать формулу и построили пространство G3D. В этом пространстве три звезды летят по прямым линиям, а то, что мы видим на небе (восьмерки, треугольники, бабочки и хаос) —... Read more

Facial Recognition in UK Shops Will Soon Instantly Alert Police About Offenders

200 рублей, ESP12 и полная потеря самоконтроля: хроники одной вентиляции

ESP01 и ESP12 кажутся идеальными кирпичиками для самодельной автоматизации: стоят копейки, занимают минимум места, умеют Wi‑Fi и позволяют собрать полезное устройство буквально из нескольких модулей. Но стоит перейти от макетной платы к реальному корпусу, питанию, реле, датчикам и установке «на место», как начинается настоящая инженерная проза: пины внезапно мешают загрузке, реле щёлкает не тогда, питание проседает, корпус не герметичен, а вентилятор оказывается умнее, чем хотелось бы.В этой статье я собрал Read more

Четыре истории внедрения ИИ в бизнесе: агент для заявок, RAG по документам и проверка сметы нейросетями

За практику ко мне заходят с одной и той же фразой: «хотим внедрить ИИ». А дальше выясняется, что под этим скрываются совершенно разные по масштабу задачи. Кому-то нужен агент, который годами живёт на сервере компании и разбирает входящие заявки. Кому-то — разовый прогон одного документа через связку нейросетей перед тем, как подписать акт. А кому-то автоматизация вообще без надобности — важнее, чтобы команда сама умела ставить задачи агенту и проверять... Read more
