Магазин отдаёт 200 OK, а денег нет: как проверять приём заказов изнутри WooCommerce

Классический мониторинг отвечает на вопрос «открылась ли страница».

Искусственная жизнь уже рядом: синтетическая клетка впервые прошла несколько циклов деления

Биологи уже много лет пытаются собрать из отдельных молекул систему, похожую на живую клетку. Главная сложность здесь в том, чтобы объединить отдельные реакции в единый работающий цикл. Репликация ДНК, синтез белков, рост мембраны и деление — все это должно происходить внутри замкнутого пространства и повторяться из поколения в поколение.Раньше получалось только что-то одно: либо репликация ДНК в липидных пузырьках, либо рост мембраны, либо синтез белка. Полноценный цикл долго оставался недостижимым.... Read more
