Scientists have learned to produce electricity from the air using soil bacteria.

This will create a renewable energy source for small devices. However, only small devices, like a smartphone or a watch, can be powered this way, because there is very little hydrogen in the air - only 0.00005%. Larger facilities will need an external source of hydrogen to add more power.

In addition, one mycelium can transmit a signal over long distances.

Dedicated to coffee lovers...

Caffeine increases the risk of developing drug addiction and different types of dependent behavior. It is known that people who drink coffee, compared with those who abstain from it, have a higher percentage of obesity, as well as smoke and drink alcohol more. This information has also been proven in experiments: experimental rats were kept for a certain time on a diet made up of refined products (approximately the same diet preferred by most American schoolchildren). Then, the animals were offered a choice of 10%-alcohol or water. Many of the rats tested preferred alcohol. When coffee was added to the food, alcohol consumption increased significantly. Coffee lovers also have a craving for other types of drugs. They not only smoke more, but more often use various sedative medications. So, think about this throughly when you once again are helping yourself to your favorite beverage…

Ancient animals got the flu from fish.

Australian scientists have found influenza RNA in corals, sturgeon and other aquatic creatures. Its genome is very similar to a possible ancestor of the modern virus. Most likely, once in antiquity, it was from fish that this disease spread to other animals. If fish were the first hosts of the virus, the prehistory of modern influenza began at least 600 million years ago.
