What city grew up on the site of an abandoned airport?

In 1942, a military airport was built in Natrona County, Wyoming. Ten years later, he was relocated to another place, and the land he occupied was bought by a local farmer, divided into plots and sold. Gradually, the former runways turned into streets, and in the 1970s the municipality of Bar Nunn was registered on this site. Currently, the population of the town exceeds 2000 people.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Smart citizens are happier when they are alone. 06.04.2016

It is often said that nothing can replace live communication, and in order to feel truly happy, you need to communicate more with friends. Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics and Political Science and Norman P. Li of the Singapore Management University disagree: Their findings suggest that happiness does not require a rich social life. True, there is one "but" here: "non-social" happiness is possible only for people with high IQ.

Kanazawa and Li analyzed data from a massive survey of 15 young people aged 000 to 18. Comparing information about the socioeconomic status of the respondents, their intellectual level and social connections, the researchers concluded that a person with an IQ below the average in a modern populous city does not feel psychologically very well than if he lived somewhere outside the city. However, close friends can still help him become happy in a big city if he often communicates with them. For those with above-average IQs, the picture was reversed: they felt more comfortable in the city, and if they did not communicate with others too often.

Explaining their results, the authors of the work turned to ancient times. According to them, the whole point here is that our ancestors, who lived in the African savannas, saw not very many people around them day after day - members of their tribe, and such an environment has become familiar and comfortable for hundreds of years. Getting into a big city, the brain, according to the old - very old - memory, tries to break all this mass of people around into small communities with which it is clear how to communicate. An old, Paleolithic habit makes us feel stressed in an unfamiliar social situation, so we try to "make it the way it used to be."

High IQ, according to Lee and Kanazawa, makes us adequate to the current situation: we see around us not the "urban jungle", that is, the savannah, but precisely that the city in which the chance to survive does not necessarily depend on how often you communicate with your " tribe." In this case, rich communication, on the contrary, can plunge you into depression, because it will take time away from some other activities related to your career, hobbies, etc.
