Your brain reaches its ‘cognitive peak’ - the time it is strongest - at age 35, according to a study, but begins to decline by the mid-40s. Researchers from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have studied thousands of chess games over the past 130 years to see if our brains develop with age. They found a “hump-shaped curve” in the analysis chart in human cognitive performance when measured over the average lifespan - it increases sharply by age 20, peaks at 35, and then decreases gradually by age 45. We’re getting smarter as a genre, according to the team that has discovered an increa ..read more

We were ranked 75th among the top 100 science blogs on Feedspot. Thanks. If you want to take a look: https://blog.feedspot.com/science_blogs/ Industry experts have concocted a recycling lie to sell more plastic -yes, that’s a big lie- less than 10 percent of the plastic we use was recycled. Although our landfills and oceans are filled with it, we are as addicted to plastic as ever. And since COVID-19, our dependence on plastic has grown even more. Our use of single-use plastic has increased by 250 to 300 percent as people keep throwing away their personal protective equipment. Less than 10% o ..read more

The US Department of Defense Space Development Agency (SDA) awarded a $149 million contract to build four missile tracking satellites on Elon Musk’s SpaceX. SpaceX will build and deliver four Starlink satellites, which the Pentagon says will comply with special sensors that allow them to track missiles, including nuclear weapons-carrying Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and hypersonic gliders. SpaceX satellites will be used to clearly track threats in the sky, as part of what the Pentagon calls “Tranche 0”. According to the SDA press release, Tranche 0 will have 28 transport satellites and ..read more

Source: PLOS ONE New corona virus types detected Researchers have discovered six new coronaviruses in bats in Myanmar - these viruses were first detected anywhere in the world. Future studies will assess the potential for transition between species to better understand risks in human health. According to the authors, newly discovered coronaviruses are not closely related to severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS CoV-1), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), or COVID-19 coronaviruses. Findings published in PLOS ONE today will help understand the diversity of coronaviruses in bats and infor ..read more

Source National Geographic. Even the main countries that promise to reduce funding for fisheries cannot stop the rise of the seafood industry. Even if the countries try to stop fish in the sea is running out. Fish prices will rise. As global fish stocks are feeding hundreds of millions of people, countries are striving to conclude an international agreement that bans state subsidies that feed overfishing by the end of the year. Although negotiations with the World Trade Organization continue in Geneva, Switzerland, new research shows that governments have increased financial support for fishe ..read more

Vegetarian and vegan diets have become increasingly popular in recent years, partly due to perceived health benefits as well as concerns about the environment and animal welfare. In the UK, the representative National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2008-12 and 2016 Ipsos MORI survey estimated that there were about 1.7 million vegetarians and vegan living in the country. Evidence shows that vegetarians may have different disease risks than non-vegetarians. For ischemic heart disease, previous studies (but not some) have reported significant risk of death due to ischemic heart disease compared to ..read more

The world has plastic problem. According to the United Nations, more than 8 million tonnes plastic enters the oceans every year. How to get rid of this problem has been the subject of much research. In order to help stain plastic clogged waterways from the sky, everything from reducing plastic use to packaging to using drones was emphasized. But researchers from Purdue University have a different idea: they want to turn it into fuel. To achieve this, they pioneered a new process of chemical transformation, which is capable of converting more than 90 percent of the polyolefin waste, the polyme ..read more
