לא כל בעיית מים נפתרת במתקן טיהור בסרטון של אוניברסיטת תל אביב, פרופ׳ הדס ממאן מדברת על איכות מים, טיפול במים והאתגר הבסיסי יותר: להבטיח שלאנשים תהיה גישה בטוחה למי שתייה. בעיניי, זו נקודת מוצא חשובה לדיון בישראל, במיוחד כשאנחנו מדברים הרבה על מתקני התפלה, מח...

A possible first exomoon around a brown dwarf would be a remarkable discovery, but “possible” is doing important work here. Astronomy often advances through signals that need repeated observation and independent confirmation. The exciting part is not just fin...
Ban công trồng rau không chỉ để có thêm chút rau thơm Mấy tuần nay chậu húng quế ở ban công nhà mình héo nhanh hơn dù vẫn tưới vào buổi sáng. Mình thử đặt một nhiệt kế nhỏ cạnh chậu, rồi nhận ra nền gạch nóng lên rất mạnh từ khoảng 10 giờ. Chậu đặt sát tường...
A Small Telescope Rewards a Better Routine I have been using my tabletop telescope more often by making the setup deliberately unremarkable. The telescope stays near the window, the batteries and eyepieces live in one labelled container, and I check the forec...
Na fermentação natural, temperatura muda tudo. A mesma receita pode levar horas a mais em um dia frio, e isso não significa que deu errado. Observar bolhas, volume e aroma costuma ser mais útil do que seguir o relógio. Cozinha também ensina a trabalhar com si...
כמה צעדים פשוטים מול יתושים בקיץ הזה הדיווח על יתושות נגועות בקדחת מערב הנילוס בפתח תקווה וביישובים נוספים באזור מזכיר משהו שקל לדחות: מים עומדים בחצר, בעציץ או בדלי יכולים להפוך למפגע קטן מאוד לא נעים. בבית כדאי לרוקן תחתיות של עציצים, לכסות מיכלי מים, להשתמ...

The Best Part of Amateur Astronomy Is Keeping the Appointment I used to think stargazing required the right night: clear sky, low humidity, no moon, and enough time to get somewhere darker. In New York City, that standard would mean missing most opportunities...
YouTube Is Changing What Counts as a View YouTube says that starting August 24, views will count from the first frame of playback across Shorts, regular videos, podcasts, and livestreams. That sounds like a small accounting change, but it will make headline v...
Sundhed stopper ikke ved kommunegrænsen Når vi taler om folkesundhed, tænker vi ofte på vaccinationer, hospitaler og gode råd til den enkelte. Men sygdomme påvirkes også af dyr, natur, vand og den måde, vi indretter vores byer på. Derfor giver det mening, at...

מים מותפלים לכנרת: פתרון חירום או שינוי כיוון? הדיווח על העברת מים מותפלים לכנרת מעלה שאלה חשובה: האם מדובר בפתרון זמני לחורף שחון, או בצעד שיכול להפוך לחלק קבוע מניהול משק המים בישראל? הזרמת מים מותפלים מחייבת בחינת עלויות, איכות והשפעה אקולוגית למיטב הבנתי,...
A senior researcher once told me that careful questions are not a sign that you are behind. They are part of the work. In astronomy, asking how a measurement was made can matter as much as understanding the result. I still think about that when supporting stu...

A Safety Program Is Not Just a List of Hazards One way to misunderstand workplace safety is to treat it as a cataloging problem: identify the hazards, write them down, and hope the list remains accurate. That resembles a probability model with a fixed sample...
En ny gjennomgang av havtemperaturene rundt Svalbard viser at marine hetebølger har blitt både hyppigere og mer langvarige i perioden 1991 - 2022. Varmt atlanterhavsvann er hovedforklaringen. Forvaltningen trenger derfor ikke bare å følge lufttemperaturen, me...
אזהרת חום טובה צריכה לעזור לקבל החלטה כשמופיעה אזהרת חום, רוב האנשים לא צריכים עוד נתון מעניין. הם צריכים להבין מה לעשות עכשיו: האם לבטל הליכה, לדחות סידור, לקחת בקבוק נוסף, או למצוא מקום ממוזג לפני שיוצאים. לכן חשוב בעיניי לא רק אם ההודעה מדויקת, אלא אם היא...

מה אפשר ללמוד מה״דיאטה הים־תיכונית הירוקה״? קראתי את הכתבה על המחקר הישראלי שבדק גרסה ירוקה יותר של התזונה הים־תיכונית, עם יותר מזון מהצומח, תה ירוק, אגוזי מלך ומנקאי. מה שתפס אותי הוא לא הכותרת הדרמטית, אלא הכיוון: לא עוד תפריט קיצוני שמבטיח שינוי מהיר, אלא...

מה עושים עם חתיכת טיל שפוגעת בירח? טוב, זה כנראה רק אני, אבל הידיעה על שלב עליון של Falcon 9 שפגע בירח נשמעת בהתחלה כמו סצנה מסרט מדע בדיוני. ואז נזכרים שזה בעצם חפץ מתכתי גדול, שנשאר במסלול, ובסוף הגיע אל פני הירח ליד מכתש איינשטיין ב־5 באוגוסט 2026. החללית...

Milwaukee’s Fluoride Change Is Temporary, but the Household Question Is Reasonable Milwaukee Water Works says fluoride addition began dropping from about 0.6 - 0.7 mg/L to 0.3 mg/L on July 31 because of supply-chain problems. The city says the water remains s...
