What we learned Superstrong Shrimp, how the canyons are formed on the moon, and what bonoboes know
During this week, we review some animal research, the last of the bird flu and the burden of microplastic brains.

First of all, a quick update of the bird flu. If you are a common listener, you know that H5n1 bird flu has circulated it for almost a year in the US. That has been thanks to a type called B3.13. He circled the bird in a different H5N1 variant, known as D1.1 genotype, It has appeared in six herds in Nevada. This suggests that our current explosion had more than one spill, or when a bird is transmitted to a h5n1 cow. We don’t know when it took the variant of D1.1, or how it circulates. People have previously been infected with D1.1, including two serious cases, and NPR reports that scientists speculate that genotype can be more dangerous to humans. D1.1 H5N1 was responsible for the first death of the bird flu when someone in Louisiana caught the backyard from herds.
Let’s move to other new health. Last Monday A study Nature medicine He informed the amazing numbers of microplastics in man’s brain. Researchers saw a fabric samples of 52 Cadavers, kidneys and liquids and the brain had more concentrations of other seven and 30 times than these other organs. The average concentration of microplastic microplastics increased by 50% to 2024. Scientists discovered that the average number of the brains of individuals who died last year was approximately the equivalent of the weight of a plastic spoon. according to Washington Post. We still do not know how microplastics influence our brains, but I will really go out with a body and probably not conclusions large.

Talking brain, a new observation study suggests that people generally feel the best in the morning. Nearly 50,000 people followed based on multi-research studies, researchers Publication BMJ’s mental health He noticed last Tuesday, individuals reported higher levels of happiness, satisfied with life and feelings of life, as well as smaller amounts of negative feelings such as anxiety and loneliness. Usually people who felt about midnight. Not surprisingly, the winter was quite rough as compared to other seasons, especially summer. So don’t be tough in yourself if you don’t get cold on Monday morning and if you’re not ready to conquer the world. Researchers also emphasize that they need more data to understand how seasons and days affect our humors.

Whatever the time, if you find that you are struggling with something, you might get your hand from an amazing ally: a bonobo. A study Posted last Monday National Academy of Sciences Procedures Our close relative primate examines whether the ability of intelligence theory or the ability to represent the mental states of others.
To test this, researchers created an experiment, where a man’s tester sat with a bonobo while another person Hide a grape under three cups. The tester would spend about 10 seconds because the grapes were not sure he was not doing the show. When Bonobo saw the tester when he saw his colleague grapes, the animal was slower to point out the location of the treatment and so often. But when the grape was blocked, Bonobo pointed to where the fruit was and faster. In other words, the animal understood that his human friend did not have to meet the task and help him.
In some of the other wild animals Research published last Friday Science Mantis shrimp examined superpowers. These aquatic creatures are known for packaging very powerful points. Some swings their attachments so fast, because it can affect .22 The caliper is a whale, moluskult shells or even aquarium glass. This new study imagined how they remain in a piece of shrimp, as a result of the tremendous shock waves that create.
Apparently, Mantis Shrimp Mighty Mighty, or Dactyl Club, has complicated patterns that help protect small crustaceans. The part of the club that plays its goal is covered in mineralized fibers that make up something similar to a herbivorous model. This gives the structural integrity of the club when he spends a hammer time. But below, fiber bundles rotating from one layer to another are twisted. Researchers say this design filters some frequencies, weaken the stress of impact and to deal with the effects of the shrimp. In addition to being really cool, the researchers say this natural design can help create better soundproofing materials and create protective tools for athletes and soldiers.

BLAST BLAST topics, new research suggests that the dramatic event may be the fault of two massive cannons on the moon. Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck has 1.7 and 2.2 mile deep, respectively, Grand Canyon in our planet shame embarrassed with its 1.2-kilometer depth. But while the plate tectonics and erosion were the non-western milestone in our southwest Million yearsNASA Moon Knowledge of Orbiter’s images and data analysis suggests things that have happened much faster for Schrödinger and Planck. Instead of changing the earth and the aquatic river, the fast rock streams caused by a dramatic cosmic moon had about 3.8 million stems ago. Scientists behind studyPosted last Tuesday Nature Communications, Estimated that the waste carried out of the influence reached a 2,800-mile speed of the hour, knocking the lunar surface with a large amount of energy and were as small as 10 minutes. I think we don’t have no moon efficiency matches.

That’s the roundament of today’s news. If you are asking, why would we not talk about that asteroid to collide with the earth, don’t worry: We will give you 411 on Wednesday.
