NASA Aircraft Uncovers Cold War Nuclear Missile Tunnels Under Greenland Ice

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Space.com: NASA scientists conducting surveys of arctic ice sheets in Greenland got an unprecedented view of an abandoned "city under the ice" built by the U.S. military during the Cold War. During a scientific flight in April 2024, a NASA Gulfstream III aircraft flew over the Greenland Ice Sheet carrying radar instruments to map the depth of the ice sheet and the layers of bedrock below it. The images revealed a new view of Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military

Hobbit-like Humans May Have Scavenged Komodo Dragons' Leftovers to Survive

CNN reports: Prehistoric human relatives, nicknamed "hobbits" due to their short stature, may have been scavengers, rather than skilled hunters capable of taking down big game or building cooking fires, according to new research. The study adds to growing evidence that Homo floresiensis, which had a brain only slightly bigger than that of a chimpanzee, wasn't as advanced as scientists previously believed....

Чума оказалась очень древней. Что произошло в Сибири 5 500 лет назад

Обычно чуму представляют как болезнь Средневековья — ту самую «черную смерть», которая пришла с крысами и блохами в тесные европейские города. Считалось, что для настоящих эпидемий нужны плотное население, сельское хозяйство и подходящие переносчики. Такие условия вроде бы начали складываться лишь с появлением первых цивилизаций.Но анализ древней ДНК постепенно меняет эту картину. Оказывается, серьезные вспышки инфекции могли происходить и гораздо раньше, в совсем других обстоятельствах — среди небольших по Read more

Как я разработал простой PHP-фреймворк, двигающий разработку вперёд

Для успешной разработки программного обеспечения важны разумное ограничение затрат времени и выбор способов решения задачи. Как я обнаружил, в PHP-фреймворках много такого, что нужно не во всех приложениях. Из-за этого вес пакета и число файлов, упоминаемых в одном логе становится неудобно большим. При этом, число пакетов, используемых под капотом при выполнении базовых действий невелико. В какой-то момент я понял, что моё дальнейшее развитие как разработчика требует уменьшения затрат времени на... Read more

Researchers have identified the brain circuitry that links deep sleep with the release of growth hormone, revealing how the two regulate each other. The newly discovered feedback loop helps explain why poor sleep can interfere with growth, muscle repair, fat metabolism, and brain function. Understanding this system could pave the way for new therapies for sleep disorders and diseases tied to metabolism and the brain, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Read more
