Modern technologies have made it possible to uncover a growing "hidden proteome"—proteins encoded by parts of the genome that researchers previously overlooked. Advances in sequencing and protein analysis are making it possible to find more of these potential proteins and investigate what they d...
At a previous job my product team introduced a business-critical microfrontend with module federation to our already bloated tech stack. As a quality engineer, I both dread and look forward to such challenges. As soon as it was researched and the prototype was approved, development swiftly foll...

In a cloud-first world, keeping costs under control without losing performance, scalability or reliability matters for any business that wants to last. AWS gives you a lot of tools for measuring, managing and optimizing spend. The hard part is wiring them into an engineering system instead of d...
What are the chances of finding extraterrestrial life in our solar system? Frank Postberg, a professor of planetary science at Freie Universität Berlin, has published a study in Science Advances with an international team of researchers. They present new evidence that it is easier to determine ...
When plant roots are injured—by insects, for example—the pressure inside the root drops, and a pressure wave spreads rapidly throughout the root system. In neighboring roots, tiny proteins that act as mechanical pressure sensors detect the change and generate electrical and calcium signals.
