(Image credit: Coulter et al. / JWST) Scientists have spotted a distant supernova unleashed by a collapsing star just 1 billion years after the birth

One branch of the human family tree had never shown up in one of its most studied landscapes. Despite abundant hominin fossils in Ethiopia’s Afar region, Paranthropus was missing. A newly discovered fossil fills that gap. Reported in Nature, the 2.6-million-year-old jaw is the first confirmed Paranthropus specimen from the Afar and extends the genus’s

Inflammatory bowel disease can cause wounds that bleed SPRINGER MEDIZIN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Scientists looking to provide relief for people with inflammatory bowel disease have turned to an unusual source for inspiration: barnacles. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, seems to occur when someone’s immune system attacks their bowel, leaving it

Astronomers at the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have produced the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever assembled. The new image presents an extraordinary view of our galaxy as seen from the Southern Hemisphere, revealing the Milky Way across a broad range of radio wavelengths, often described as different

By Jessica Roy Photographs by Tomas van Houtryve The legend goes like this: in the 15th century, a witch lived in the Valais region of Switzerland, and was unhappily married to a local farmer named Sepp vom Hegdorn. She was reclusive and mean, with a loud piercing laugh, and rumors swirled among the villagers that

În adâncurile cosmice, unde legile fizicii par să se curbeze în moduri inimaginabile, există regiuni de spațiu-timp de o intensitate gravitațională atât de copleșitoare încât nimic, nici măcar lumina însăși, nu-i poate scăpa. Acestea sunt găurile negre, obiecte misterioase și invizibile prin definiție, a căror prezență o deducem doar prin influența dramatică pe care o

ESA's Proba-3 mission has captured a trio of solar prominences erupting from the sun, hurling plumes of plasma through the corona.

The unique footage, captured

"Что-то не так с сетью. Раньше у меня было 4Гбит/с, а теперь выдаёт только 120Мбит/с. Ты что-то менял недавно?" Знакомо звучит? Если вы хоть немного занимались поддержкой продуктовых сред, вам, вероятно, доводилось слышать подобные жалобы. Прежде чем прийти к выводам о причинах проблемы, нам нужно разобраться, что именно происходит на уровне TCP обоих хостов. Чего

В конце 2024 года на просторах GitHub появился проект, который заставил даже самых серьёзных системных программистов улыбнуться: scx_horoscope — планировщик задач для ядра Linux, корректирующий поведение CPU в зависимости от положения планет, фаз Луны и так называемой ретроградности. Автор, Lucas Zampieri, с иронией обыграл давний системный фольклор о зависимости работы систем «от фазы Луны», превратив
