Time can play tricks on us, causing the same period to feel different depending on our age. For example, while the summers of our childhood felt like they lasted forever, the same three months now seem to fly by in the blink of an eye.Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University have investigated whether the perception of time changes with age, and if so, how, and why we perceive the passage of time differently. Their study was published in the journal <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt"…

We all had to make adjustments as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded – even zoo animals who were suddenly not seeing crowds of visitors pass by every single day.In a study published last year, researchers discovered how primates reacted to that shift, looking at the behavior of bonobos, chimpanzees, western lowland gorillas, and olive baboons, and finding that the animals changed their habits in a variety of ways, including the amount of time they spent resting and eating.Visitor interactions are thought to be crucial to…

From their companionship to their ability to make us fitter and healthier, it became dazzlingly clear during the pandemic how much we value our pooches. Nearly one in five US households adopted a pet during this time, and the majority were of the barking variety, meaning you’ll now find everyone’s best friend in a massive 69 million homes across the country.However, many owners also face a daily battle with animals suffering mental illnesses that are difficult to treat. Anxiety-related symptoms have been reported in more…

Life of a differently abled person is difficult, especially in a country like India. Things are slowly improving but, there is still a lot of ground to cover when it comes to modifying the infrastructure and public transport sector for these specially-abled people. We have often come across such people who are dependent on others completely. This is not the case with everyone. There are many who have challenged themselves and have found a way to be independent. Here we have one such video of a differently abled person…

It took me 20 years of trial and error before I achieved a multimillion-dollar net worth. Now, at 64, I draw income from the 18 companies I started and the 12,000 apartment units I own.But I wish I had known sooner how ultra wealthy people think about money. I've built relationships with many millionaires over the course of my investing career, and have spent years observing their habits. Here's what they do differently:1. They don't diversify their investments right away.It's generally good practice to diversify your…

Rapamycin is a drug that has been studied for its potential anti-aging properties. It is an immunosuppressant drug that is primarily used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs, but it has also been found to have properties that can extend the lifespan of various organisms, including mice and fruit flies. While Rapamycin is an FDA-approved drug, it’s important to note that it is not yet approved for anti-aging use and more research is needed to understand the long-term effects and safety of the drug.Research on…

But they are not merely a decoration of our visual world: they enable us to identify objects, materials and substances in our environment. They also facilitate communication with other people. Thanks to them, we can tell the difference between a ripe banana and one that is still "green." Or…

A new robotic, boot-like exoskeleton uses wearable sensors to adjust to each person who wears it, marking a significant step forward for robotics. The device, described in a study published today, helps solve one of the big challenges in developing systems that help people walk: that everyone walks differently. “This exoskeleton personalizes assistance as people walk normally through the real world,” said Steve Collins, associate professor of mechanical engineering and head of the Stanford Biomechatronics Laboratory.…
