895 MIT’s new spacecraft engine could send tiny satellites to Mars

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 06/10/2026 07:24 EDT

MIT researchers have shown that one fuel can power both chemical and electric spacecraft thrusters, potentially transforming what small satellites can do. The approach combines quick bursts of speed with highly efficient long-range propulsion in a single compact system. A NASA-supported CubeSat mission will soon test the technology in orbit.

[Перевод] В Java нет универсального типа для денег

double быстрый, но хранит десятичные числа как двоичные приближения: 0.1 + 0.2 дает 0.30000000000000004. BigDecimal точен в десятичной арифметике, но дороже по памяти и CPU.Выбор зависит от задачи: для метрик и ML хватит double с допуском, для налогов и счетов нужен BigDecimal с явным RoundingMode, для низкой latency - fixed-point на long.Ошибка не в double или BigDecimal, а в выборе без понимания точности, округления и нагрузки.

Зенковка печатных плат: особенности проектирования потайных отверстий

При разработке печатных плат часто возникает задача закрепить плату в корпусе так, чтобы головки винтов не выступали над поверхностью. Для этого применяется зенковка — коническое углубление вокруг монтажного отверстия. На первый взгляд, операция несложная, но на практике есть нюансы, которые стоит учитывать на этапе проектирования.В этой статье мы разберём, что такое зенковка, чем она отличается от цековки, какие параметры важны при проектировании и на что обратить внимание, чтобы избежать проблем...

Scientists found that one tiny genetic change can completely alter how a coronavirus behaves in different species. Comparing SARS-CoV-2 with a closely related bat-only virus, they showed that a single amino-acid difference affects whether the immune system fights back or gets suppressed. This may help explain how some animal viruses make the leap to humans and become far more dangerous. Read more

A new study suggests early humans were using fire in South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave as far back as 1.79 million years ago. Researchers found burned bones deep inside the cave, where natural wildfires could not have reached, indicating that fire was likely carried in and maintained by human ancestors. The discovery pushes back the timeline for fire use and reveals surprisingly sophisticated behavior long before humans could create fire on... Read more

A hidden population of South African leopards has revealed a remarkable evolutionary story. Researchers analyzing entire leopard genomes discovered that the Cape Floristic Region’s leopards are not only much smaller than most African leopards, but also genetically distinct after being isolated for roughly 20,000 years. Surprisingly, despite their small population, they have retained much of their genetic diversity. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new twist in what happens when cells die. As dying cells break apart, they leave behind tiny “footprints of death” packed with newly discovered particles that help guide the immune system to clean up the remains. But researchers found that influenza viruses can exploit this process, hiding inside these microscopic packages and potentially using them to spread to nearby cells. Read more

Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping the brain ignore distractions and zero in on what matters most. When researchers temporarily switched off these neurons in mice, the animals became unusually distractible—similar to what is seen in ADHD—but regained normal focus as soon as the neurons were reactivated.

What if consciousness isn’t limited to brains like ours? Philosophers Eric Schwitzgebel and Jeremy Pober argue that consciousness could arise in many different forms of life, even in beings built from radically different materials than those found on Earth. Drawing on the vastness of the universe and the likely existence of countless alien civilizations, they suggest it would be surprisingly Earth-centric to assume that only Earth-like biology can support conscious...

Osteopenia is a common but often overlooked condition that causes bones to become less dense and more fragile. Because it develops silently, many people only discover they have it after a fracture or bone scan. Aging, menopause, poor diet, and inactivity can all contribute to bone loss. Fortunately, exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and other healthy habits can slow or even partially reverse the decline. Read more
