It is also the pursuit of inner potential, and this is the starting point in life. Recognizing your uniqueness is the first step to living the dream. You can set millions of goals, load your day with dozens of tasks, solve problems, read books, take classes, but all of this will be useless if you are moving in the wrong direction, if the goals and objectives are not aligned with the kind of life you really want to live.

Watching TV increases the risk of dementia.

American scientists decided to find out how different types of sedentary leisure are associated with the risk of developing dementia. It turned out that frequent watching TV is more dangerous than sitting at the computer. This can be explained by the fact that watching TV is an extremely passive activity, while spending time on a laptop involves cognitive functions. For example, users are writing emails or thinking about their next move in a video game. The study involved 146,000 people over 60 years of age, initially none of them had dementia. Over 12 years of observation, the disease developed in 3.5 thousand.

A material with a real three-hour memory has been discovered.

By materials with a "memory" function, they usually mean those that remember what shape they kept before exposure. But vanadium dioxide (VO2) has gone further - it can remember more than just one state. He remembers as many states as he wants for the past 3 hours.

Scientists have created wind turbine blades that can be recycled into gummy bears.

American scientists have combined fiberglass with synthetic and vegetable polymers and obtained a composite resin for wind turbine blades, which can be processed into similar devices or gummy bears. Sweets can be made from purified potassium lactate - it remains after the resin is boiled down in an alkaline solution. In addition, the alkaline breakdown of the resin releases the acrylic material PMMA - organic glass, from which car headlights are also made. The new resin will help get rid of waste, since ordinary blades are simply thrown into the landfill - they are often not recyclable.

Chemists from South Korea have created an analogue of meat from sugar and proteins extracted from flour beetle larvae.

These insects are fed to small animals. The new meat substitute tastes and smells almost indistinguishable from the natural product - the sugar-treated and fried larvae enhanced the meat flavor.
