Happy marriage age

31.07.2020

Psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania and Brigham Young University published the results of a large-scale study in which they tried to determine which year of married life brings people the most happiness in marriage.

In a survey of more than XNUMX married Americans, scientists came up with some rather unexpected findings. Until now, it was believed that the highest level of happiness was recorded by spouses who got married a year ago, but the researchers found that this is not entirely true. It turned out that couples whose marital experience exceeded twenty years feel more happiness than newlyweds.

The survey showed that in the first twenty years of marriage, the level of happiness gradually decreases, but if the spouses have lived together for more than two decades, then, as a rule, they begin to feel happier than even in the first year of marriage.

When spouses live together for a very long time, they get to know each other to the maximum extent, thanks to which they can evaluate a partner more realistically and without false expectations. All this, of course, contributes to strengthening the feeling of satisfaction with marriage.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

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, ... >>

Birth control pills affect fear 08.11.2023

Scientific discoveries are lifting the veil of mystery surrounding the effects of birth control pills on the brain and feelings of fear, according to a study by scientists from Canada. This discovery could significantly change our understanding of the relationship between hormonal changes caused by contraception and the brain structure responsible for the perception of fear.

Modern scientific theories claim that hormonal fluctuations in a woman's body during the menstrual cycle can affect the brain's ability to perceive fear. Researchers from Canada set out to better understand the effects of using combined oral contraceptives (COCs) by focusing on the effects of the synthetic sex hormones they contain on brain structure.

Currently, more than 150 million women worldwide use oral contraceptives, and COCs containing synthetic versions of estrogens and progestogens remain among the most popular. The study found that a region of the brain known as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) was thinner in women who used COCs compared to a similar region in men.

It is important to note that these changes are reversible. Comparing data from participants who stopped taking COCs or never used them, the scientists concluded that the effect on brain structure was not permanent.

The researchers found that levels of both natural and synthetic sex hormones correlated with changes in vmPFC size and thickness, but this was only observed in women using oral contraceptives.

In addition, differences were identified in the structure of the region of the brain responsible for the reaction to fear in men and women, regardless of the use of contraception. This highlights the influence of natural sex hormones on the formation of brain structure.
