Iraq will plant five million palm trees to combat heat and dust storms.

Iraqi authorities have launched a campaign to combat the effects of climate change - heat waves, droughts and dust storms. It includes the promotion of clean energy, water purification and reforestation. Five million palm trees and other trees will be planted in the country.

The palm thief is one of the largest terrestrial arthropods.

The leg span of these crustaceans can reach 1 meter, and they weigh up to 4 kilograms. The crabs got their nickname for their ability to knock coconuts off palm trees and feast on their broken contents. True, if the coconut does not break when it falls, the strength of the animal's claws is enough to correct the situation.

Scientists have proven that water on Earth originated from interstellar space.

This happened more than five billion years ago - before the sun appeared. This discovery will serve as the basis for the search for other habitable planets containing water. Astronomers have captured traces of water vapor surrounding the young star V883 Orionis, located about 1,300 light-years from Earth. Its composition is very similar to water found in other bodies in our solar system. The protostar V883 Orionis is surrounded by a mixture of gas and dust known as the protoplanetary disk. Ultimately, comets, planets and other celestial bodies may appear from it.

NASA has created a mug that you can drink from in zero gravity.

As you know, liquid in microgravity behaves differently than on Earth. However, within the framework of the Capillary Flow Experiment program, using geometry and surface tension, it was possible to model a mug that holds liquid even on the ISS.

Birds in flight are guided by the stars.

At least some of them. Scientists placed Indigo birds in a planetarium and confirmed that in their annual migrations they navigate by the sun during the day and by the stars at night, calculating the north from the pattern of the constellations. This was confirmed by an experiment - in it, inside the planetarium, the Polar Star was replaced by Betelgeuse, and the birds took it as a guide.

A phone without a battery from the University of Washington.

It consumes energy from the environment, from radio waves and sunlight. Battery-free operation is achieved through a minimalistic design, because the phone has nothing but a circuit board that can only make calls.

Elon Musk plans to build his own city in Texas.

It will be a utopian project near the Colorado River, where employees of companies owned by the entrepreneur could live and work. The city will be called Snailbrook.

Scientists have revived a virus that is 48,500 years old.

French researchers found 5 zombie viruses in the permafrost of Siberia and revived them in the laboratory. The oldest specimen was found in the soil of an underground lake at a depth of 16 meters. These viruses are extremely dangerous for people, since the body is not adapted to deal with such antiquities. They can “exit” to people not from the laboratory, but due to the melting of ice.

The world's first artificial energy island will be built in the North Sea.

Belgium will build the world's first artificial island with an area of about six hectares in the North Sea, on which it will place wind power facilities. They will link the offshore wind farm to the onshore power grid. The foundation of the island will begin to be built in 2024. After that, around 2026, high-voltage infrastructure will be installed.

An American has created an attraction that simulates a sand storm.

Instead of dangerous sand, there are soft balls. The creator calls the vortex chamber a “meditation machine” that literally hypnotizes visitors with cyclic patterns of Styrofoam lumps accompanied by special music.
