The University of Colorado (USA) spoke about a pioneering project to replace traditional batteries in gadgets with supercapacitors. Thanks to the discovery, the sphere of consumer electronic devices may change dramatically.
According to experts, supercapacitors will allow smartphones to be fully charged in just one minute, while only ten minutes will be enough for electric cars.

About 600 millennia ago, we shared a common ancestor with the Neanderthals. The evolution of Neanderthals took place on the territory of Europe, while we came to Eurasia from Africa. Neanderthals died out about 40 thousand years ago, and we continue to live, develop and study the history of our ancient kin. The question of what language and thinking were like among Neanderthals stands out.
There are basic differences in the brain structure of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. One is that the latter did not appear to be able to generate complex ideas using metaphors.
Recent research has broadened the view of Neanderthal technical skills by pointing to the likelihood of their use of symbols and jewellery. Some of the claims about Neanderthal cave paintings remain controversial, and in general, Neanderthal artistic ability is debated.

According to South Korea’s head, Yoon Seok-yeol, the country intends to send astronauts to Mars and the Moon within the next few decades. To finance these and other space initiatives, about $70 billion of budgetary funds will be allocated.
The Korean Space Agency (KASA), headed by former NASA employee John Lee, is in charge of the programme. The organisation will eventually participate in Artemis-3, the US mission to land a man on the Moon.

An international team of scientists from the University of Carthin has found that the process of water cycling between the hydro- and lithosphere started more than 4 billion years ago.
This is of great importance both for understanding how the Earth was formed and for clarifying all the critical conditions for the emergence of life. These conditions thus emerged just 600 million years after the birth of the planet.

It has previously been established that cows have complex social and cognitive behaviours as well as emotions. If a cow feels uncomfortable around humans, she signals stress by mooing and making other noises, for example. When she is pleased by the presence of a biped, she may lie down next to you, lick your palm or sniff you, demonstrating a desire to connect through these social gestures.
