Swedish Scientists Discover New Evolutionary Phase in Dogs

Swedish scientists have discovered that dogs are entering a new phase of evolution. Dogs are in the stage of the third wave of domestication. This is related to people's preference for having calm and friendly pets that easily adapt to a sedentary lifestyle. This change has resulted in an increase in the level of oxytocin - a hormone that promotes the formation of social bonds. In an experiment, scientists gave 60 golden retrievers a can of food that could not be opened without human assistance. Half of the dogs were given oxytocin, while the other group received a neutral solution. The results showed that dogs with increased levels of oxytocin more frequently sought help from people. Researchers concluded that the evolution of dogs continues, and they are increasingly shifting from guardian roles to companions.

Man in the US wakes up during organ extraction

In the United States, a man woke up on the operating table when his organs were nearly extracted for transplantation. The 36-year-old man had been hospitalized for a drug overdose. Doctors declared him brain-dead and began preparing for organ extraction to use them for donation. Suddenly, the man awoke. He started thrashing on the table and calling for help, after which he was injected with sedatives. Ultimately, the organ extraction was canceled, and the patient survived.

A new study has shown that over the past four decades, vegetation cover has increased tenfold. The Antarctic Peninsula is warming faster than the global average, and extreme heat events are becoming more frequent. Everyone was shocked by satellite images showing moss appearing amidst the ice. Soils in Antarctica are mostly poor or absent, but the increase in vegetation will add organic matter and promote soil formation, paving the way for other plants.

London Scientists Break 6G Speed Record

London scientists have accelerated a 6G network to a record-breaking 938 Gbps - thousands of times faster than 5G. To understand the scale: a 100 GB file would download in less than a second at this speed. This was achieved by combining radio waves across a broad frequency range from 5 to 150 GHz. The authors believe their technology could form the basis of future commercial 6G networks. They are currently in talks with smartphone manufacturers and providers.

BMW Chief Calls for Scrapping EU's Ban on Petrol Cars

The BMW chief urged the cancellation of the European Union's future ban on the sale of petrol cars, despite increasing deliveries of electric BMWs and Minis. The zero-emission law, set to come into effect in 2035, is "virtually unrealistic" under current conditions and "threatens the heart of the European car industry," Oliver Zipse said at the Paris Motor Show. Earlier, the Italian Prime Minister called the EU ban "self-destructive," and the head of the French automotive association suggested revising the law's norms.
