The UK has launched the world's largest offshore wind farm.

It is located 89 kilometers from Yorkshire in the North Sea. The power of the station is 1.3 gigawatts. It can provide electricity to 1.4 million homes - for example, the whole of Manchester. The area of the station is 462 square kilometers, which is more than half of New York. It has 165 Siemens Gamesa turbines with blades 81 meters long. One turn of such a turbine can supply electricity to an ordinary British house for a day.

The crypto exchange accidentally transferred $10.5 million instead of $100 to the client and noticed this only seven months later.

The situation occurred in May 2021, when a client from Melbourne requested a refund of $100 from the crypto exchange. However, an amount of $ 10.5 million was credited to her account - employees accidentally entered the woman's account number in the transfer size field. Despite the large transfer, the error was not noticed for 7 months, before the audit at the end of the year. The woman has already managed to cash out the funds, buy a mansion and a house for a relative. When the company discovered a mistake, the client was required to return the misappropriated money.

In South Korea, they successfully charged devices within a radius of 30 meters using infrared.

Laser charging is not too powerful yet (400 mW), but very convenient. The device simply distributes laser beams in all directions, which the devices pick up and charge.

Super high speed train FluxJet.

Canadian startup TransPod is developing the FluxJet super high-speed train, a hybrid train and jet that can carry up to 54 passengers at speeds of over 1,000 km/h. TransPod has already received funding and will soon begin building the TransPod Line, a networked system that will take people from Calgary to Edmonton in 45 minutes. Traveling on a vacuum train will cost about 44% less than a plane ticket and will reduce CO2 emissions by about 636,000 tons per year.

Researchers have found that people perceive numbers better if the numbers are not written from left to right, but from top to bottom.

To test how quickly people can process numbers with different representations, the scientists showed 73 2nd year students a pair of numbers from 1 to 9 on a monitor. Participants were required to enter a higher number using a high-performance, zero-latency gaming joystick. It turned out that participants compared numbers faster if they were split vertically, with the smaller number at the bottom. This may indicate that our mental number line actually goes from bottom to top, from small numbers to large ones.

Artificial intelligence brought 10 million euros to the French treasury.

With its help, more than 20 thousand unregistered pools were discovered. The program has found tax-free private swimming pools on satellite images - now the technology will be used for other buildings.

Dolphins form gangs to seduce females and eliminate competitors.

Scientists have found that male dolphins are able to build strong social bonds for years and have a friendly network of 20-50 individuals. They are often friends since childhood. Male dolphins are great friends: they help each other find females, fight them off other dolphins, and even defend themselves from other groups.

The world's first motorhome, a 1914 Ford, was put up for auction.

The world's first motorhome, a 1914 Ford T, was put up for auction at Bonhams in the UK. Sleeping places are equipped inside the car, there is a table, a stove and cabinets. The maximum speed of the car is 48 km/h. The Ford T was refitted by the Dunton Carriage Workshop for the Bentall family, who founded one of the world's first chains of shopping malls. The first motor home drove around Britain until the 20s, then the van was abandoned. In the early 70s, it was found and restored to its original state. The lot is worth 20-30 thousand pounds. The auction will take place on September 10th.

Geneticists have revealed the secret of the "immortal" jellyfish.

It may help people fight aging. Spanish scientists have deciphered the genome of the "immortal" jellyfish - Turritopsis dohrnii. She is able to reverse the aging process, repeatedly returning to the larval stage. Mutations have been found in the T. dohrnii genome that allow it to do this. They are responsible for regenerating DNA and preventing the destruction of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with age in humans.

Sea level rise due to the melting of the Greenland ice is no longer to be avoided.

Due to the melting of the glaciers of Greenland, the sea level will rise by 27 centimeters. This can no longer be avoided, even if humanity stops all carbon emissions right now. While this is an inevitable rise in sea levels, it could happen in a century or even two. By controlling carbon emissions, people can minimize damage.

In India, bikers are asked to wear helmets with air filters.

The Government of India is promoting the sale of motorcycle helmets with air filters and fans so that bikers can purify the air while riding. First of all, this applies to New Delhi - with the onset of cold weather in the city, it is almost impossible to breathe due to caustic smog. It is expected that the demand for helmets will be 30 million pieces per year.

In the jungles of Brazil, the last Indian from an unknown non-contact tribe died.

In the state of Rondonia, the Man from the Hole died - this is how the researchers nicknamed the last Indian from an isolated tribe that lived on the territory of the Tanar people. The man has spent the last 26 years alone. He most likely died of natural causes. The approximate age of the Indian is 60 years old, his real name, the name and language of his tribe are unknown. Most of the people of the Man from the Hole died back in the 1970s during skirmishes with farmers and lumberjacks.

In the Israeli desert, they found a luxurious mansion next to a mosque, which is more than 1.2 thousand years old.

In the south of the Negev desert, archaeologists have found a luxurious mansion 1.2 thousand years old. The building had four wings with rooms. One of them was decorated with a marble corridor with a stone floor and decor on the walls. Next to the building was a courtyard. During excavations, scientists found ancient artifacts, including fragments of exquisite glassware. Cellars were built under the courtyard - it was cooler underground than in the desert. Among other things, there was a cistern with drinking water. The wealthy owners of the mansion used it as a residence and reception room for guests. Most likely, a local ruler lived in the house.

Butyrate saved mice from peanut allergy.

Butyrate, which is produced by the gut bacteria Clostridium, may help people with severe peanut allergies. This was found out by scientists who introduced polymer micelles with butyrate into the intestines of mice and relieved them of allergies. The authors believe that such micelles can also help with reactions to other food proteins.

Time runs faster when the heart speeds up.

When the activity of the sympathetic nervous system increases, that is, the heartbeat accelerates, people feel that time flies faster. These conclusions were made by scientists from the University of Liverpool during a study involving 67 people. During the experiment, volunteers wore heart rate sensors and changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin - it is affected by the activity of the sweat glands. People went about their normal business and each hour wrote down how fast or slow they thought the last 60 minutes had gone. It turned out that when the sympathetic nervous system was more active, it seemed to the volunteers that time was running 10% faster.

Astronomers have said something strange is happening to the Sun.

An increasing number of sunspots are showing unusual activity. At the beginning of the week, a massive sunspot AR3085 was discovered on the Sun, directed towards the Earth, which increased 10 times in two days. Today, scientists are baffled by another spot - AR3088 - instead of horizontal magnetic fields, it has vertical, rotated 90 degrees.

In Silicon Valley, a new project "Sanas" is gaining popularity.

Corsair and LG Display are developing the world's first foldable monitor.

The XENEON FLEX prototype features a 45-inch OLED panel with up to 1440p resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio. For bending, there are special handles on the sides, while the sides of the monitor can be bent separately - only the left or right, as well as both at once. The number of flexion-extension cycles is more than 10,000 times. The price and release date of new items are still unknown.

In China, dugongs, marine mammals that have lived in the country's southern waters for hundreds of years, have become extinct.

The number of animals in Chinese waters began to decline sharply from the 1970s due to fishing, collision with ships and the gradual destruction of dugong habitat. Since 1988, the State Council of China has classified the dugong as a key protected animal of the first degree. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed the species as the most vulnerable.
