Scientists already know that good sleep protects against obesity, heart problems, and cognitive impairment. But in order to get enough sleep and maintain health, it is important to notice the positive aspects of life. For example, optimists sleep longer and stronger. Sociologists at the University of Illinois conducted a survey Read more…
“If you are about to get fired, would you prefer a robot or another people to replace you?” Was the question asked by researchers from Germany. Most choose a robot – but only in their place. Instead of colleagues, the respondents want to see another person. A study on the Read more…
Google has launched beta testing of Augmented Reality mode in Maps for all iOS or Android smartphones that support AR features. The company introduced Maps with augmented reality in May last year, and at the beginning of this, it showed reporters a working prototype of the Google Pixel 3 XL Read more…
The mathematicians eliminated one of the oldest problems in optics – spherical aberration. A universal equation created by a researcher from Mexico allows you to calculate parameters to eliminate image distortion. The discovery will be useful for both gadget manufacturers and scientists using sophisticated optical instruments. The Monterrey Institute of Read more…
New York will have the world’s tallest modular hotel. A building with a height of 26 floors will be erected at a record speed, and in addition, a third cheaper than the average cost of such buildings. Hotel giant Marriott will build a 26-story skyscraper in New York in just Read more…
A kind of “chronological map” was found in the entorhinal cortex of the temporal lobe. Its activity determines how far in time certain events are separated from each other. According to modern concepts, the entorhinal cortex located in the temporal lobe of the brain plays an important role in the Read more…
The government is hoping for an engineering miracle in an attempt to deal with the demographic crisis. Scientists must create cybernetic technology, hibernation cameras and implants for people of the future. Japanese authorities allocate almost a billion dollars to create cyborgs and other technologies that prevent the loss of functionality Read more…
A group of scientists studied the rate of decline in calcium concentration in freshwater lakes in Europe and North America and found that this process could soon prevent many aquatic organisms from reproducing and surviving. Scientists from different countries of Europe and America took over 440,000 water samples from 43,184 Read more…
Cubic Motion has combined CGI with motion capture – in real time and high resolution. First of all, a new approach will be used for the design of computer games. However, other applications are also possible – for example, in cinema and education. Cubic Motion has developed a new technology Read more…
Animals are characterized by a certain flexibility in adapting to environmental conditions – they change the duration of hibernation, migration routes, or propagation features to ensure the survival of the species. A meta-analysis of over 10,000 studies shows that this adaptation is not fast enough now. An international team of Read more…
