Paralyzed people have learned to control a wheelchair with the power of thought.

In Texas, scientists have created a wheelchair that paralyzed people can control with their minds. Some volunteers achieved 98% accuracy after the training course. Paralyzed people controlled the direction of the wheelchair by thinking about the movement of body parts. For example, thinking about hands for turning left or legs for turning right. The computer read the volunteers' neural signals and turned them into wheelchair commands. Initially, patients controlled the wheelchair with an accuracy of 43-55%. After training, some had an indicator of 98%. Each volunteer trained three times a week for 2-5 months.

A new volcano has been born in the Indian Ocean.

It has been growing for four years now. A new underwater volcano has been born near the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. He showed up in the spring of 2018. Then the researchers began to carefully study the bottom and how geological processes affect the island. During its short life, the volcano has already ejected more than five cubic kilometers of lava. This is the largest volume in the history of observations, which has transformed the underwater landscape. The volcano will continue to grow for thousands of years. Its activity can become dangerous not only for the island, but for the entire region. Now the diameter of the volcano is five kilometers, the height is about 800 meters.

Dirty air changes lung tissue and weakens the immune system.

After many years of living in places with polluted air, people are less likely to tolerate respiratory infections.

After exposure to dirty air, macrophages have difficulty protecting the body from pathogens. These conclusions were reached by American scientists from Columbia University during the study of tissues of 84 non-smoking organ donors aged 11-93 years.
