There are fewer car accidents.

In the United States, data on accidents were published and it was revealed that over the year, the number of deaths increased by 10.5%. And this despite the fact that the number of accidents themselves decreased by 22%. In this regard, the government demands to speed up the process of introducing alcohol analyzers into the ignition systems of cars. For alcohol, as always, remains one of the main causes of deaths on the roads.

Samsung has patented a "roll" laptop with a rollable display.

It is equipped with a flexible screen, but does not fold, like smartphones, but rolls up, taking up a minimum of space in the “stowed” position.

Solar panels will be installed on all EU buildings.

In the countries of the European Union, solar panels will become mandatory on all new buildings. This initiative aims to end the EU's dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and accelerate the transition to green energy.

In Germany, it was forbidden to let cats outside until the end of summer.

Researchers at Wunderman Thompson surveyed 3,000 people about their awareness of the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs.

It turned out that only 15% of all respondents can explain what the metaverse is to another person. At the same time, 74% of respondents believe that the future belongs to them. People cited privacy, data protection, and cyberbullying as top concerns in the metaverse.

India has developed nanobots that destroy bacteria inside the teeth.

The idea is that iron-coated silicon dioxide helical structures can change position and move in space under the influence of magnetic fields. More importantly, they can be either inserted into living tissues or removed after a treatment session. Toothbots can penetrate into the dentinal tubules to a depth of up to 2000 micrometers, after which a change in the parameters of the magnetic field causes them to heat up. The excess heat destroys the bacteria, then the nanobots are removed. Experiments on individual teeth were successful, and now Indian scientists are working to create a new special tool for dentists based on their technology.

In early 2023, SpaceX will launch the heaviest satellite in history into orbit.

Jupiter-3 weighs 9.2 tons, making it the heaviest in orbit. This is a communications satellite that will provide speeds of 500 gigabits per second to residents of North and Central America.

The Israelis have created a smart bee hive that can prevent the global extinction of bees

To neutralize the threat, the Israelis proposed a prototype of the "smart beehive" Beehome. The hive is equipped with precise robotic systems, computer vision and artificial intelligence. This allows you to follow the bees and their needs in real time. About the same thing beekeepers have been doing for the last 150 years. A smart hive instantly detects possible threats to the bee family (for example, the presence of pesticides or pests) and immediately activates defense mechanisms.

After the legalization of cannabis, Americans began to drink and smoke less.

In Washington State, after the legalization of cannabis, young people are less likely to drink, smoke, and misuse opioid painkillers. At the same time, they began to buy electronic cigarettes more often. These conclusions were made by scientists in the course of a study involving 12.5 thousand people aged 18-25.

For bicycles, a radar with a camera and fixing an accident has been developed.

Garmin has introduced a bicycle light with radar warning of approaching vehicles from behind and a camera. It starts filming the moment a car is detected and protects the video from being deleted if it detects a collision or a fall.

Gene editing has made hamsters aggressive and overly sociable

The researchers wanted to use gene editing to change the social behavior of angry hamsters to make them kinder and shyer. It turned out the opposite - the rodents became hyper-aggressive and too sociable. The biology of social behavior is more complex than they thought, scientists say. This means that such experiments on humans are still far away.

Scientists have collected the largest database of pictures of animals in the Amazon.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has donated 57,000 images from camera traps in the Amazon to an international team of scientists. Now the total database contains 120,000 images taken in the river basin on the territory of eight countries. From 2001 to 2020, 289 species were captured by the lens. There are jaguars, anteaters, tapirs, toucans, cougars, spectacled (Andean) bears in the pictures. They live on an area of ​​8.5 million square kilometers. This largest photo archive will help scientists track and document habitat loss, climate change and species behavior.

The first operation to restore hearing was carried out 5.3 thousand years ago.

In Burgos, the remains of a woman aged 5.3 thousand years were found. On her skull, traces of a surgical operation to restore hearing were found - the very first of all documented. A patient with an ear infection underwent two mastoidectomy and survived. This is evidenced by traces of tissue regeneration around the surgical openings in the skull.

In Norway, they came up with a road surface that absorbs carbon dioxide

Carbon Crusher has developed an environmentally friendly road surface made from biomaterials. It absorbs CO₂ and reduces the carbon footprint of trail repairs. The Norwegians replaced the bitumen with the organic polymer lignin. It remains as waste after paper production. When using this technology, 3.5 times less carbon is emitted into the atmosphere in a section of 30 meters than usual.

The study showed that environmental pollution kills nine million people every year.

Most of them are Africans. The damage to the global economy from environmental degradation is estimated at 4.6 trillion dollars a year. The top 10 affected countries include Chad, Central African Republic, Niger, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, North Korea, Lesotho, Bulgaria and Burkina Faso.

British startup Air Company makes vodka from carbon dioxide emissions.

Carbon dioxide is collected from the air near industrial facilities. It is then combined with hydrogen produced by electrolysis, a process in which electricity is used to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. After further fusion of CO2 and hydrogen, ethanol is obtained, which, in combination with water, becomes vodka. A bottle of Air Vodka will cost $65.
