Neuralink does not give up and insists on testing brain implants in humans.

The company is already in talks with one of the largest US neurosurgical centers to enter into a partnership for clinical trials. Previously, Neuralink was banned from testing the neurochip in humans.

RizzGPT monocle with GPT-4 neural network.

Students from Stanford have created a RizzGPT monocle with a GPT-4 neural network, which is attached to glasses - it analyzes conversations in real time and displays the answer in front of the user's eye.

The smell of sweat helps in the treatment of social phobia.

The emotional state of a person affects the chemical compounds released by his body. These compounds have a certain smell that others can smell and react to them in a certain way. Perhaps the success of the treatment is determined by those substances that are contained in human sweat always, and not at certain emotional moments. The authors also suggest that the mere physical presence of another person nearby can have the same effect as the presence of bodily odors.

Favorite music enhances the effect of drugs.

The small pilot study included 12 chemotherapy patients who agreed to listen to their favorite music for 30 minutes each time they needed to take nausea medication. It turned out that patients rated the severity of symptoms of nausea and discomfort lower when listening to the compositions. However, more research is needed to confirm the results of this experiment.

Katsushika Hokusai's print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" sold for a record $2.8 million.

Other copies of the print have fled in recent years for amounts ranging from a few hundred thousand to $1.5 million. The work was completed in the early 1830s. It depicts three fishing boats in a stormy sea with Mount Fuji in the background.

Scientists have created "nano-ink" that regulates the temperature in the premises.

The innovative ink uses nanotechnology to control temperature. They achieve this by adjusting the amount of radiation that can pass through them depending on external conditions. Passive climate control will provide comfortable living conditions without unnecessary energy consumption. For example, in winter, paints can automatically let in more solar radiation during the day and retain heat better at night, and vice versa in summer. The ink can be sprayed or added to paints and building materials. They can also be added to extreme temperature-regulating clothing or electronic devices.

Drugs and alcohol don't make people more creative.

Researchers have found that many drugs, including alcohol, amphetamines, and psilocybin, do not inspire creativity. They studied hundreds of articles to come to these conclusions. It turned out that even if people felt more creative while taking the drug, in fact, their results were worse compared to the sober state.

The world's population will soon peak and decline sharply by the year 2100.

The researchers calculated that under the current situation, the world's population will peak below 9 billion people in 2046, and then decline to 7.3 billion in 2100. In this case, regional social collapses are likely over the next decades. A shrinking population could also create new challenges, such as a shrinking workforce and increased health care burdens associated with an aging society, as is the case in Japan and South Korea.

Neural networks will force people out of PornHub.

Experts came to this opinion after the purchase of the service by the technology giant Ethical Capital Partners. Insiders report that the new owner may resort to an ingenious solution to constant scandals - in the near future, all actors will simply be replaced with virtual avatars, raising the site's reputation in the eyes of the public and reducing the cost of content production.

Mini train.

Train enthusiasts from England have put together a fully working mini version of the GWR King Class locomotive. Such a copy of the train weighs about 200 kg and can even carry people.

The mice are made exclusively for your brush.

Formify ask the buyer to send them a photo of a hand that is analyzed by neural networks, and a 3D printer creates an individual case based on the scan. The cost of one mouse for you is $189.

Bulletproof suit.

A team of engineers from Hacksmith Industries has recreated John Wick's bulletproof suit in real life. After a lot of testing with different fabrics for the suit, they settled on a variant of 20 layers of Kevlar, wool and a special kind of thin plastic. A tailored vest and jacket combination can even withstand firing .45 caliber cartridges from an MP5 submachine gun.

Heinz collaborated with Absolut vodka to release vodka sauce.

Ingredients: a lot of vodka, tomato paste and spices. Manufacturers claim that the sauce can make you drunk.

A new species of loophole spider has been discovered in Australia.

They were called "rare and gigantic". The body length of female arthropods can reach five centimeters - they are larger than males. Loophole spiders live in burrows. Males spend their first 5-7 years there, and then get out to the surface in search of female burrows. Females are larger and darker, as they live underground all their lives. The color of males is honey-red. Europlos dignitas is poisonous, but does not pose a serious threat to humans. After his bites, medical attention is not required.

LED strips for drivers.

Melbourne has added LED strips that show the driver how fast to move and enter turns. The less traffic, the faster you can go.

The most unusual game "for adults".

This is a dating sim with the anime girl Tax Heaven 3000. No nudity: during the gatherings, the girl will ask financial questions and help fill out the tax return - at the end the game will even issue a file that you can simply take and send to the tax office. The only negative is that it only works for US residents.

The United States launched the first 3D-printed rocket.

California-based Relativity Space has launched a rocket almost entirely 3D printed. Terran-1 took off from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral and stayed in the sky for several minutes. About 85% of the rocket was produced using 3D printing technology. The company said it plans to eventually print more than 95% of the aircraft, excluding electronics, computer chips and rubber seals.

The oceans release hazardous mercury into the atmosphere.

The researchers created a computer model to analyze the amount of mercury in the atmosphere. She showed that every year 40% more mercury enters the atmosphere than previously thought, and most of it is in the oceans. Scientists suggest that higher levels of mercury in the atmosphere almost certainly put people at risk. They believe more work is needed to isolate the high-content foci and then clean it up.

The oldest Hebrew Bible was put up for auction.

A copy will be auctioned off at Sotheby's in New York in May. For it will need to pay from 30 to 50 million dollars. So it could become the most expensive historical document ever sold at auction. Radiocarbon dating showed that the book was created around 900.
