Flavor Texture Satiety TOTAL 8 8.5 9.2 8.6 With its founding in 2013, Soylent blazed a trail in the protein drink and meal-replacement market by eschewing the target markets of gains-obsessed bros and geriatrics without teeth to focus on busy tech bros who were fed up with the cost and inconvenience associated with food you have to cook and chew. It was a brilliant pitch back then, and founder Rob Rhinehart’s predictions of a technocratic hellscape where worker drones grind too hard to be bothe

Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Vindicated by Science

People love to show that skeptics were wrong about something, especially when national pride hangs in the balance. The South China Morning Post published the following headline on November 3rd: “Scientists find traditional Chinese medicine is based on a complex network of proteins – 3,000 years before modern science.” The article points out that respectable editorials in the scientific literature had repeatedly referred to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as “largely just pseudoscience” and “

There's plenty of healthy eating and workout trends that come and go over the years, but one topic seems to come up again and again: Protein. Contrary to what you may be hearing on social media, you're probably already getting all the protein you need. Similar to counting calories, the protein goals trend has gotten out of hand, causing people to buy expensive protein bars, shakes and slabs of meat. According to Dr. Andrew Freeman, a cardiologist at National Jewish Health in Denver, it's actual

10 Best Protein Powders of 2025, Tested & Reviewed by WIRED

Honorable Mentions Photograph: Boutayna Chokrane Seeq Clear Protein Powder for $49: I was skeptical when I purchased Seeq Clear Protein, but I’m a sucker for anything watermelon-flavored. I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes like a creamier sports drink (I promise it’s better than that description sounds), and each serving has 22 grams of protein and 4.5 grams of BCAAs. There are zero grams of sugar. Like a lot of other clear protein powders, it’s often more expensive than its counterparts. B

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-28 01:42:58

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA. So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thank

Toxic Proteins for Drug Discovery

Noah Whiteman, professor of evolutionary biology at UC Berkeley, writes about how toxins are repurposed into medicines for Issue 06. Whiteman’s recent book is called “Most Delicious Poison.” Ella Watkins-Dulaney for Asimov Press. When you hear the word "poison," perhaps you picture a Victorian-era cobalt bottle labeled "NOT TO BE TAKEN" or the iconic pictogram of a leering skull and crossbones. What probably does not come to mind, however, are the dried white beans in your kitchen pantry, the

Spending time at the gym isn't the only thing that can help you build muscle. While putting in time at the gym is the first step, eating well also makes a major difference. Building muscle requires proper nutrition to recover from workouts, and starving yourself isn't going to cut it. If you aren't eating right, you might not see the results you've been working for. That's where food comes in. A smart, balanced diet-especially one packed with high-quality protein, can make a major difference in

This company is trying to make a biodegradable alternative to spandex

“True circularity has to start with raw materials,” says Peña. “We talk about circularity across many industries, but for textiles, we must address what we’re using at the source.” Engineered from recombinant DNA, SELPs are copycat proteins inspired by silk and elastin that can be customized for qualities like tensile strength, dye affinity, and elasticity. Silk’s amino acid sequences—like glycine-alanine and glycine-serine—give fibers strength, while elastin’s molecular structure adds stretchi
