Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

An easy way to extend life 11.02.2020

American researchers have figured out how to extend life by 10 years. Experts from Harvard University and the University of Amsterdam have been monitoring 100 volunteers aged 50 and over for twenty years. Thus, scientists came to the conclusion which factors negatively affect human health, and therefore significantly affect the duration.

People were divided into several groups depending on their lifestyle. As it turned out, men and women who drank alcohol, smoked, had low physical activity, were overweight and ate unhealthy foods lived about ten years less than those who adhered to a healthy lifestyle. According to the results of studies, women who led an active lifestyle, ate right and had no bad habits, lived on average up to 84,4 years.

The fair sex with the wrong way of life lived mainly to 73,7 years. As for men, those who adhered to a healthy lifestyle lived up to 81,1 years, and those who drank, smoked, ate malnourished up to 73,5 years.

Scientists note that living a long life is also necessary to minimize stress in your life. More often due to stress, more serious diseases occur than due to malnutrition and bad habits.
