Folding house from Ten Fold Engineering.

Ten Fold Engineering has created a house that can fit in a container and unfold in 8 minutes. It is enough to find a fairly large area (the area of individual models can reach 200 sq.m.) and press the button. The house itself will be established to the final state. The design of the company's buildings takes into account all the necessary accessories, including bathrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.

Due to global warming, people are sleeping less

Experts studied 7 million sleep records from the bracelets of 47,000 adults from 68 countries. Global nighttime temperatures are rising faster than daytime temperatures.

The climate crisis is robbing us of 44 hours of sleep per year - that is, for 11 nights we sleep less than the required seven hours.

Fossils of two pterosaurs Thanatosdrakon amaru have been found in Argentina.

They died simultaneously 86-87 million years ago. The wingspan of one of them is seven meters, the second - nine. This makes it the largest flying pangolin ever discovered in South America. The discovered pterosaurs could be a parent and a calf - at the time of death they were nearby, while one of them was not yet an adult. But paleontologists have no proof of the degree of relationship.

In Hawaii, they began to make cocktail tubes from seaweed.

Loliware launched the production of seaweed cocktail straws. They replace plastic ones, keeping the coastline clean. The tubes are made like this: they dry, grind and mix the algae with a solution of natural dyes, and then give the resulting mass a shape. The technology is simple, cheap and competitive. Algae tubes are better than paper tubes: they do not get wet, they retain their shape and texture.

The bacterium Salmonella, potentially harmful to humans, has been shown to be useful in the treatment of cancer.

Scientists have found that it is able to form colonies around tumors and signal a threat to the immune system and used it to use it as a means of delivering signaling antigens to the tumor. Among mice that received bacterial therapy, 83% survived, while only 25% survived in the placebo control group. The scientists are now planning human trials.

The salt lake evaporates by May, turning into a white cracked surface with interesting salt patterns.

The most "resistant" castle.

The German Eltz Castle has belonged to the same family since its founding for almost 850 years and has passed through 33 generations. Interestingly, it was never destroyed or captured.

In the Chinese city of Chongqing, there is a very dense building; during the construction of the monorail, a 19-story residential building stood in the way, which could not be demolished or bypassed. The designers made an extreme decision: to build a railway right through the building, between the 7th and 8th floors.

The algorithm solves 81.7% of puzzles without errors, does not confuse or skip letters. This result is a quarter better than that of the predecessor algorithm.

Scientists have come up with foam to cool buildings - it will replace air conditioners and save electricity.

Chinese and German scientists have created wood-based foam to cool buildings. It reflects sunlight, has thermal insulation properties and releases the absorbed radiation back into the atmosphere. The use of foam can reduce the electricity consumption of air conditioners by a third.
