WebA study of 7,415 people in the NIH's All of Us Research Program suggests that stress translates into measurable biological wear, allostatic load, more consistently in people whose household income sits above the study's median than in those below it, and the researchers' explanation for the gap has nothing to do with resilience

NASA lost a $125 million spacecraft at Mars because one engineering team used English units while another expected metric — the mismatch quietly pushed the orbiter onto the wrong trajectory after nine months in space
3+ hour, 51+ min ago (231+ words) A decade of planning and a quarter-billion dollars in funding vanished in seconds when two teams speaking different measurement languages sent a spacecraft crashing into Mars....
Chicago was once too flat to drain its sewage, so engineers raised entire streets by four to five feet and jacked buildings up to match — one 320-foot block of shops was lifted four feet on 6,000 screws while businesses inside stayed open
7+ hour, 19+ min ago (305+ words) A city literally too flat to survive its own waste had to be raised, block by block, with thousands of jackscrews turning beneath occupied buildings....
A railroad causeway built across Utah’s Great Salt Lake nearly divided it into two separate bodies of water with radically different salinity — today the north side can appear pink-purple while the south remains blue-green

The United States is replacing every official latitude, longitude and height it publishes, existing coordinates will move by as much as four meters, and the million survey marks in the ground will no longer be what the system is measured from
10+ hour, 4+ min ago (43+ words) The National Geodetic Survey has spent years building a replacement for the reference system that fixes every published position in the country. New geodetic-control submissions into the old system stop being accepted after January 13, 2027....
The winner of the 1904 Olympic marathon was fed rat poison, egg whites and brandy as he ran — another competitor rode 11 miles in a car, while a Cuban runner raced in street shoes and stopped to steal peaches

Finnish engineers packed 2,000 tonnes of crushed stone left over from making fireplaces into a giant “sand battery” — electricity heats the material, which stores enough energy to cover roughly a week of winter demand on a local heating network
11+ hour, 21+ min ago (53+ words) A Finnish village discovered that waste rock and off-peak electricity could replace expensive fossil fuels through winter, offering a low-tech alternative to battery storage that scales far beyond lithium....
MIT engineers made water filters from slices of tree branches that removed more than 99% of E. coli and rotavirus in lab tests — after trials in India, the team designed a gravity-fed prototype that could filter a liter of water an hour
11+ hour, 36+ min ago (496+ words) As water crises worsen in developing nations, MIT researchers discovered that nature had already engineered the solution—hidden inside tree branches that cost nearly nothing to harvest....
Australian scientists extracted an enzyme from soil bacteria that produces electricity using traces of hydrogen in the air — it still worked after freezing or heating to 80°C, opening a possible route to small air-powered devices
