🚀 Long March 7A Rocket Explosion: China's Space Program Faces Another Major Setback. The rocket exploded 1 minute 25 seconds after liftoff, failing to place the payload into orbit. This is the second major accident in 2026, raising concerns about the stability of Chinese spaceflight. 🌍 #space #China #accident

🚀 End of the ISS Era: USA takes on station deorbiting, Russia prepares 'Progress' for descent control. By 2034, a new Russian Orbital Station will appear in orbit. 🌍🛰️

🍆 How to tell if an eggplant is ripe? Experts named 3 signs of ripeness that will save the harvest from bitterness. Shine, elasticity, and weight are the main indicators. Learn how to properly cut "purples" so as not to damage the bush! 🌿 #garden #eggplants #harvest2026

🧬 **A new chapter in the history of evolution**: Scientists from UC Berkeley have discovered traces of two unknown ancestors living 800,000 and 1.8 million years ago in the DNA of modern humans. The new TRACE method allowed these "ghost" genes to be found without using fossils. It turns out we carry the legacy not only of Neanderthals but also of other archaic groups that helped us survive. 🧬🌍 #Science #Evolution #Genetics #UCBerkeley

🔴 NASA Confirms: 'The Martian' Was Prophetic! 🚀 By 2026, many 'fictions' from the film have become reality: ✅ The MOXIE instrument is already extracting oxygen on Mars. ✅ The planet's soil is indeed suitable for agriculture. ✅ The NASA culture was conveyed with accuracy down to the details. However, the sandstorm from the film is pure fantasy: Mars' atmosphere is too thin for such destruction. 🌪️❌ #TheMartian #NASA #Space #Science #Movies

🚀 NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Manon completed a critical spacewalk on the ISS. They prepared a power channel for new iROSA solar panels, which will provide energy for the station's safe deorbit. The spacewalk lasted over 6 hours. #NASA #ISS #SpaceWalk #2026

🚀 The End of the ISS Era: Russia and the US Begin Preparations for Station Deorbit in 2030. 🔹 Specialists are checking systems and impact trajectories. 🔹 Part of the Russian segment will become the basis for the new ROS. 🔹 The "Prichal" module will leave in 2028. #ISS #Roscosmos #NASA #Space #ROS

🔬 **Breakthrough in Microelectronics:** Scientists from Berkeley discovered that ordinary titanium dioxide (TiO₂) becomes ferroelectric at a thickness of less than 3 nm. 📉 **Effect Intensifies:** The thinner the film (down to 1 nm), the stronger the effect. This contradicts classical physics. 💾 **Future of Memory:** The technology will allow the creation of ultra-compact non-volatile memory and energy-efficient processors. ⚠️ **Challenges:** The durability of the material and the number of rewrite cycles are currently unknown. Years of research remain before mass adoption.

🧬 American scientists have created 16 new viruses with the help of AI! 🦠 Researchers used genomic language models (Evo 1 and Evo 2) to design bacteriophages. Out of 285 synthesized constructs, 16 proved viable and successfully destroyed E. coli bacteria. One of the viruses (Evo-Φ2147) is so unique that it can be considered a new species (93% different from natural analogues). The technology paves the way for fighting resistant bacteria but requires strict control. 🧪🔬 #Science #AI #Biotechnology #Viruses #Research

🇨🇳 China surpasses US in science spending: in 2024, the PRC invested $615 billion, showing a 13.1% growth. 🇺🇸 The US spent $604 billion, focusing on AI. 📊 Japan is in third place with $140 billion. 📉 US sanctions pushed China towards import substitution in electronics. #Science #China #USA #Technology

🦜 Scientists are studying the unique Curly-crested Aracari from the Amazon — the only toucan with natural 'curly' feathers. Why do they have such a hairstyle? 🤔 🌿 They live in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. 🍎 They eat fruits and insects. 🧐 The function of the curls is still a mystery: either for mating or for protection. #science #nature #toucans #amazon

🦈 Sharks have become living weather stations! Scientists from the University of Delaware attached CTD sensors to them to collect data on ocean temperature. This will help predict hurricanes more accurately on the US East Coast. The technology is safe for animals — the devices fall off on their own after a while. #science #sharks #hurricanes #climate #technology

🌌 Astronomers have discovered an asteroid of a unique triple shape in the Solar System for the first time. Object 44 Nysa, discovered back in the 19th century, turned out to be a system of three connected parts with its own satellite. NASA has confirmed the data obtained by the VLT and LBT telescopes. 🔭🪐

🌌 The End of the Acceleration Era? A new study questions the existence of dark energy. Scientists have discovered that the Universe may not be expanding uniformly in all directions. This discovery could resolve the "Hubble tension" and overturn cosmology. #space #science #darkenergy

🌿 Blogger Vera Grinishina encountered a dangerous parasite in her garden. Thin threads of dodder wrapped around the basil, threatening the harvest. Instagram followers helped identify the enemy and gave advice: don't cut, but pull out and burn! 🔥 Dodder is a plant without leaves and roots that 'sucks' life from its host. One plant can entangle a bed in a whole network. Vera admitted she didn't know about such a threat and was forced to sacrifice the basil to save the rest of the garden. ⚠️ Be careful: parasite seeds can live in the soil for years!
