An international scientific center with a modern telescope has been opened at the summit of Pip Ivan in the Carpathians. Ukraine and Poland signed a declaration on joint research and student exchange.

A University of Parma study showed that dogs blink more often when they see their owner blink, but not strangers. Scientists consider this a marker of trust and emotional connection with humans.

A study published in Science showed that the expansion of solar energy in China from 2014 to 2023 significantly reduced bird diversity. Scientists call for biodiversity to be taken into account when planning power plants.

New research suggests that the first planets could have appeared during the Cosmic Dawn era due to explosions of Population III stars, which rapidly enriched space with heavy elements and water.

🇳🇴 Norwegian institute Norce found guilty of discriminating against a Russian scientist. Despite the candidate being the best qualified, he was rejected twice due to his origin. The commission stated: security does not justify automatic rejections without individual assessment. Norce has already created a security committee and revised hiring rules. #Norway #Discrimination #Russia #Security

📢 Scientists sound the alarm: trading ancient mummies is more dangerous than curses. The growth of the market on social networks and auctions in 2026 has led to real health risks. Remains contain arsenic and Aspergillus fungal spores capable of killing. At risk are not only collectors but also couriers delivering "artifacts" by mail. ⚠️👻 #science #safety #mummies

🦕 Scientists have discovered preserved collagen in a dinosaur bone that is 66 million years old! This discovery, published in the journal Analytical Chemistry, calls into question the theory of the complete disappearance of organic matter during fossilization. 🔬 The amino acid hydroxyproline was found in an Edmontosaurus bone from South Dakota. Researchers ruled out contamination using mass spectrometry. 🧬 This changes the understanding of biomaterial preservation and opens the way for studying the biology of extinct species at the molecular level. Perhaps museums are full of "treasures" that we have not yet appreciated!

🇯🇵 13-year-old Japanese schoolboy Ryoya Sugimoto made a sensational discovery by finding a new species of marine organism! 👁️ In 2018, the boy noticed strange jellyfish near the pier that did not match any known species. Thanks to his hobby and cooperation with scientists from NOAA (USA), he helped describe a new species — Orchistoma integrale. 🧬 It is called the 'integral jellyfish' because of the shape of its reproductive organs, which resemble the integral sign. Despite the name, it is a hydroid animal, not a 'true' jellyfish. Ryoya's story proves: science begins with curiosity! 🔬🌊 #Science #Japan #Jellyfish #Discovery #Biology #CitizenScience

🌍 Space on the verge of collapse: 30,000 satellites already in orbit, with applications for another 1 million. Scientists warn of cascading collisions that could render the orbit unusable. #space #satellites #spacedebris

🇨🇳 In China, scientists analyzed 3.74 liters of 2,300-year-old alcohol. The find in a Qin-era tomb is rewriting the history of brewing: a millet-based drink with "Qu" starter was preserved in a bronze vessel. Inside, 8,500 yeast cells and 2,400 organic compounds were found. This proves that ancient masters possessed advanced fermentation technologies, surpassing European methods of that time. 🍺🔬 #Archaeology #China #Science

🔬 **Revolution in Sensing**: Scientists from Sweden and the UK have created flat HARFF optical fiber that is 1,000 times more sensitive than standard fiber. 📉 🧠 **How it works**: New geometry and micro-cavities with metals allow the fiber to "feel" pressure and temperature. 🚀 **Where it applies**: From monitoring the condition of bridges and aircraft to controlling battery safety and medicine. The main advantage is compatibility with standard equipment! #Science #Technology #OpticalFiber

🚀 D-Wave makes a breakthrough in quantum computing! The company has presented a new 'dual-rail' qubit architecture capable of detecting errors independently. This is a key step towards creating universal quantum computers. Operation accuracy has reached 99.9%. 🧮⚛️ #DWave #QuantumComputing #Technology #Science

🌙✨ Ukrainian polar explorers at the "Academician Vernadsky" station recorded a rare phenomenon — nacreous clouds against the backdrop of the Moon. Meteorologist Serhiy Yakushchenko caught the moment when moonlight created a rainbow iridescence at an altitude of 30 km. Despite the beauty, this phenomenon is an indicator of processes affecting the ozone layer. #Ukraine #Science #Antarctica #Ecology

🧬 **Life on Earth may have arisen twice!** German scientists have published a revolutionary study in the journal Science Advances. It turns out that bacteria and archaea evolved independently, replacing metal catalysts with enzymes. This casts doubt on the theory of a single LUCA ancestor and requires rewriting the "tree of life." 🔬🌍

🍺 Sensation at the bottom of the English Channel! Divers raised a 1864 Guinness bottle from a sunken ship. 🇬🇧🇮🇪 🔬 Scientists named the project "Jurassic Beer": they plan to clone ancient yeast to recreate the taste of the 19th century. 🤿 The bottle was preserved thanks to a "hydraulic lock" under water pressure. The diver may be allowed to take the first sip, but only after testing for toxins. 📍 The discovery was made off Dover in August 2026. #Guinness #Archaeology #Science

🌊 The sea in Odesa glowed at night! On August 14, 2026, a rare phenomenon of bioluminescence was recorded on the coast. The waves glowed bluish-green, creating the effect of a "phosphorescent sea." Scientists explain this by the activity of Noctiluca microorganisms, not chemistry. 🧬✨ #Odesa #Nature #Bioluminescence #BlackSea #Science

🧬 DNA tests are not just entertainment but a powerful tool for searching for ancestors. Genealogist Serhiy Fazulyanov explains how genetics helps restore female lines and find relatives when documents are silent. Why it is worth testing older family members and what not to expect when analyzing ethnic origin — in our article.

🌌 On the night of August 13, 2026, expect the peak of the Perseid meteor shower! 🌠 🔭 Best conditions in recent years: The Moon will not interfere with observations. ⏰ Peak activity: 03:00 AM (up to 40 meteors per hour). 📍 Where to watch: outside the city, towards the northeast. ☀️ Bonus: A partial solar eclipse will occur on August 12. #Perseids2026 #Astronomy #MeteorShower #Science
