Separate dream.

British researchers conducted a survey that showed that separate sleep can save romantic relationships. Nearly half of the 1,500 people surveyed said they were experiencing serious inconvenience from having to share a bed with a partner. Among the main reasons are annoying snoring, the inability to take a comfortable position and a sleep pattern that does not coincide with the mode of the second half. 16% of couples decided on a "challenge" and refused to sleep together in the same bed. And this had a positive effect on the development of their sexual relations. Survey participants confirmed that they began to have sex more often after they "parted" in different bedrooms.

Scientists have finally learned how to recycle all types of plastic.

They have developed a catalyst (accelerator) for the chemical decomposition of all types of plastics. After the interaction of the catalyst and plastic, propane is obtained. The new catalyst was made from a porous material with cobalt nanoparticles - zeolite. During the penetration of microplastic particles into the pores of the zeolite, the polymer chains are broken at the same point for all types of polyethylene and polypropylene tested, as a result of which the plastic is converted to propane.

The singing of birds has a positive effect on the psyche.

A group of experts from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) assessed the impact of road noise and birdsong on the psyche of people during a randomized online experiment in which 295 people took part. It turned out that birdsong reduces anxiety and paranoia, which occur even in mentally healthy people.

Now you can spend the evening with a glass of wine in virtual reality.

All thanks to Swedish scientists. They have developed a technology that allows you to smell in VR. The aromas are mixed with each other in special valves and served through a tube, which the user must bring to the nose. The researchers have already created a small game where you have to guess the type of wine by smell. Alas, try the drink in VR until it comes out, the technique has not yet reached this point.

How does a person express his love?

Sometimes people feel unloved not because they are, but only because everyone interprets this feeling differently, putting different concepts into it. Most often, a person expresses love exactly as his parents taught him. And not always in a good way. As a child, a person does not distinguish between good and bad attitudes. For him, at the genetic level, parents are a source of love. And some parents don't show love at all. For them, love is something abstract, they believe that it is not at all necessary for children to talk about it or express it with caresses or hugs. Growing up, a person projects the same behavior onto a partner. Awareness of this fact helps to better understand the state of the partner and the attitude towards you.

1. Start with yourself. Don't try to change your partner. It's impossible. Honestly and calmly analyze: what are you doing wrong?

5 signs you're being used in a relationship

1. Reproach for past mistakes. Reminding them every time to induce guilt is pure manipulation. 2. Your interests, victories or defeats are not a reason for conversation. In a healthy relationship, everyone's life is important. 3. Relatives worry about you. You can’t fool other people - they look at your relationship from the outside. 4. The partner claims "that it will be better for everyone." A partner who achieves results with such words is manipulating you. 5. Your "no" doesn't matter. If your “no” is an empty phrase, and the partner’s actions are more and more like violence, put an end to these relationships.

There are no bad people as well, however sometimes others' idea of good and bad doesn't match ours. There is no problem that cannot be solved. There are problems that cannot be solved at the particular moment because of a lack of knowledge and possibilities. Often the only solution is to accept the impossibility of solving it. If you lose an opportunity, it will always be followed by the next one, but in a different time and under different circumstances.

Four-legged robot goalkeeper.

Engineers have trained a four-legged Mini Cheetah robot to act as a football goalkeeper, analyzing the ball's flight path and jumping to intercept it. Robochepard weighing nine kilograms completes the movement in just 0.9 seconds. He is trained in three movements: shift to the side, jump and dive - jump to the side, followed by a fall to intercept the ball flying into the bottom corner. When a ball is thrown, the robot determines its position using a depth camera, and then selects the desired movement and its trajectory. After that, the low-level controller calculates the torques so that the interception is successful.

Nicotine blocks the production of estrogen in women.

Even small doses of nicotine block the production of estrogen in the brain tissue in women. This harms the functioning of the nervous system and genital organs. These conclusions were made by molecular biologists from the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.

The heaviest bony fish in the world was discovered off the coast of Portugal.

She weighs almost three tons. The carcass of a dead moon-fish weighing 2,744 kilograms was caught off the coast of the Azores - this is an absolute record for bony fish. Its height is 3.5 meters, and its length is 3.6. Marine biologists weighed the moon fish using a winch and industrial scales, and then opened it up. They took samples of DNA and stomach contents. Moon-fish lives in tropical and temperate waters of all oceans. Their exact number is unknown. In spring and summer, the population in the northwest Atlantic is estimated at 18,000 individuals.
