If WIRED doesn’t write about Brooks running shoes more often, it’s because they’re so good and so reliable that it simply doesn’t occur to us. We just buy the next edition of the Brooks Ghost and carry on with our day. Several WIRED writers and editors wear Brooks running shoes as their everyday trainers, and these Brooks Running promo codes are some of the best that we’ve seen all season. As the days get shorter and colder, this is also the perfect time of year to upgrade your winter running gear for waterproof, warmer, brighter, or more compressive clothing to…
Altra Running’s distinctive wide toe box and zero drop heel-toe design don’t facilitate marathon PRs or punchy 5Ks. But there’s a reason why Leonardo DiCaprio chose to wear all-weather Lone Peaks when playing Bob Ferguson in One Battle After Another. They’re comfortable, rugged, and the zero-drop design keeps you from getting tendonitis. Altras are the perfect shoe for surviving in an off-grid dystopian war, even if they’re not at the top of the list when it comes to the best running shoes.Get Up to 50% Off at the Altra Running SaleThe Lone Peaks are iconic and instantly recognizable.

The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the digestive system. The body’s mucosal linings contain a range of protective molecules that help stop microbes from triggering inflammation or infection. One important group of these defenders is lectins, which identify microbes and other cells by attaching to […]Health,Antibiotics,Bacteria,Immunology,Microbiology,MIT#Scientists #Discover #Natural #Protein #Traps #Kills #Harmful #Bacteria1768542786
The wheel on the left side has options to adjust actuation distance, rapid-trigger sensitivity, and RGB brightness. You can also adjust volume and media playback, and turn it into a scroll wheel. The LED matrix below it is designed to display adjustments to actuation distance but feels a bit awkward: Each 0.1 mm of adjustment fills its own bar, and it only uses the bottom nine bars, so the screen will roll over four times when adjusting (the top three bars, with dots next to them, illuminate to show how many times the screen has rolled over during the adjustment).…
Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and specialized. Spend enough time scrolling through TikTok or Instagram and you will inevitably come across the familiar claim: “Your frontal lobe isn’t fully developed yet.” It has become a popular neuroscience catchphrase, often used to […]Health,Developmental Psychology,Mental Health,Neuroscience,Psychology,The Conversation#Brain #Doesnt #Magically #Finish #Developing #Heres1768539113
Google offers a Validator App through the Play Store that vendors have to run as part of getting their products certified to use Fast Pair. According to its description, the app “validates that Fast Pair has been properly implemented on a Bluetooth device,” producing reports on whether a product has passed or failed an evaluation of its Fast Pair implementation. The researchers point out that all of the devices they tested in their work had their Fast Pair implementation certified by Google. That means, presumably, that Google’s app categorized them as passing its requirements, even though their implementations had dangerous…
New research suggests that people using next-generation weight loss drugs may be losing weight without the nutritional support needed to protect long-term health. People taking newer prescription weight-loss medications may not be receiving the necessary nutritional guidance to lose weight safely and maintain their health, according to researchers from UCL and the University of Cambridge.

Whether you realize it or not, you’re already living in the Chinese century. From batteries to milk to electric vehicles, China is undoubtably doing it better—while the rest of us kick our feet up and watch. China is soaring ahead of the US in a space race called by Trump; China is putting up buildings in a day’s time; China is light-years ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to solar energy.Our upcoming China Issue will lay it all out: the robotics explosion, the energy revolution, the cultural takeover. This is your chance to ask any burning…
The Trump administration appears to be deploying the same playbook it used in Minnesota—leveraging allegations of fraud to justify significant federal oversight—in other blue states across the country, starting with California and New York.“POTUS loves Minnesota and the people. It’s a state where he received historic Republican support, and he has long called out [Governor Tim] Walz for his incompetence and terrible leadership,” a senior White House official tells WIRED. “The fraud is so blatant and widespread that it’s a good place to start, but it’s only the beginning. CA and NY next.”This approach seemingly signals a broader strategy to…
India’s top court has ruled against Tiger Global in a tax case stemming from its Flipkart exit during Walmart’s 2018 takeover, a decision that strengthens New Delhi’s ability to challenge offshore treaty structures and could raise tax risk for global funds counting on predictable exits from one of the world’s fastest-growing major markets. On Thursday, the Indian Supreme Court backed the tax authorities in a dispute over whether Tiger Global could use its Mauritius-based entities to claim protection under the India–Mauritius tax treaty and avoid paying capital gains tax in India on profits linked to its exit in the Walmart–Flipkart…
Mars-like shock and chemical stress reveal ribonucleoprotein condensates as a key survival mechanism in yeast. Life on Mars, whether in the distant past, today, or in the future, would face a range of severe environmental challenges. These include shock waves generated by meteorite impacts and the presence of perchlorates in the soil—highly oxidizing salts that […]Space,Astrobiology,Cell Biology,Mars,Molecular Biology,Yeast#Life #Survive #Mars #Yeast #Offers #Surprising #Answer1768528127
On Thursday, OpenAI announced its investment in neurotech startup Merge Labs, cofounded by its CEO, billionaire Sam Altman. OpenAI will collaborate with the new venture to develop technology to link people’s brains to computers.Merge Labs has raised $252 million in funding from OpenAI, private investment firm Bain Capital, video game developer Gabe Newell, and others to use ultrasound to read and modulate the brain.Merge joins a growing number of companies, including Elon Musk’s Neuralink, that are developing brain-computer interface technology. Its name comes from the Silicon Valley concept of “the merge,” the hypothetical point at which humans and machine intelligence…
Newsrooms have been experimenting with AI for several years now but, for the most part, those efforts have been just that: experiments. A relatively unknown startup, Symbolic.ai, wants to change that, and it just signed a major deal with News Corp, the media conglomerate owned by Rupert Murdoch. News Corp, the major assets of which include MarketWatch, the New York Post, and the WSJ, is set to begin using Symbolic’s AI platform with its financial news hub Dow Jones Newswires. Symbolic.ai, which was founded by former eBay CEO Devin Wenig and Ars Technica co-founder Jon Stokes, says its AI platform…
Under extreme planetary conditions, water turns into a strange, electricity-conducting solid hidden deep inside giant planets. Superionic water forms only under some of the most intense conditions found in nature, with temperatures reaching several thousand degrees Celsius and pressures climbing to millions of atmospheres. Under these extremes, water enters an unusual state where oxygen atoms […]Physics,Neptune,University of Rostock,Uranus,Water#Uranus #Neptune #Water #Totally #Unexpected1768524464
