The US already has the first salmon cultivated in the laboratory. It is a relief for wipes who ask for the time

by

The world is hungry for fish, but goes through areas. In Spain, Consumption is downhillso much that fishmongers want to reinvent themselves to serve our pets Before us. In other countries, such as China, That hunger is voraciousto the point that your folders They have been small And they are Going for those of Latin America. To avoid folding, there are those who investigate “alternative proteins”, And in the United States they have already developed the first salmon cultivated in the laboratory that is served in a restaurant. And with a series of advantages that does not really have salmon. Fish hunger. The forecasts They point out that the global aquatic food consumption will double by 2050 compared to the 2015 levels. That will imply that it will go from about 80 million tons annually to almost 155 million tons. The problem is that production must follow the rhythm. It is something promoted by population growth, the improvement of quality of life in certain countries and the development of aquaculture. As we say, China has a role in this story because it is not only the largest world consumer of fish, but it is also creating huge ships to raise new fish. And in Africa also An increase in demand is being seen. According to the FAOto maintain consumption until 2050, total production should increase by 22%, and is a capital challenge. That’s where the laboratory alternative becomes interesting. Cultivating salmon. Wildtype It is a company that has attracted to investors Like Jeff Bezos, Mandamás de Amazon, but also actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio or Robert Downey JR. Currently, they operate a factory in San Francisco and have just launched the ‘Saku’. This is cultivated salmon that is designed to eat when Sashimi stylewith a texture, flavor and ‘freshness’ comparable to really salmon. Here the key is to know how this salmon has been cultivated (it becomes weird to speak in those terms of a fish). The researchers extracted real salmon cells, specifically from salmon coho in their fry stage. In BIORREACTORS And using a patented “nutrient mixture”, cultivate those cells, combining the resulting cell mass with vegetable ingredients to replicate both the texture and the taste of traditional salmon. As they expose in The Washington Posta salmon can take about two years to mature, but in two weeks a 220 grams “fish” block can be created with the Wildtype method. And claim that it has a nutritional and omega-3 profile similar to that of wild salmon. One from Saku “NO OBJECTION”. And what do agencies that decide what enters, and what not, in circulation in the United States think? Well, they have no objections. ” Each country or region has a health entity that is the one that establishes a regulation that allows certain substances and products to be present in what we eat. They do not always agree, but if a product wants to enter a market, it must pass under the magnifying glass of that body. In the case of the United States, it is the FDA (Food and Medicines Administration of the United States) that, at the end of May, He gave permission to Wilkdtype so that your cultivated salmon is marketed. With that success, the cultivated salmon has already debuted in Kanna famous Haitian restaurant located in Portland, but it is expected that little by little it will arrive at more restaurants and shops in the form of ‘false’ packaging. Looking at the advantages. As with the coffee without coffeesalmon without salmon will allow maintaining the production of a very consumed food, but without continuing to measure in some wipes that agonize. But as important as sustainability, reduction of overfishing and habitat destruction which implies, is the issue of food security. This ‘Saku’ occurs in a production environment controlling, which minimizes exposure to pollutants, parasites and something that, unfortunately, is present in practically everything we eat, but above all the food from the sea: The microplastics. And another from Saku And the fishermen? When something that replaces something already established, the first question that comes to mind is what will happen to what moves to give way to the new. We have seen it from the Industrial Revolution, with AI and to Wimbledon with the Line judges being replaced by a computer. And, in this case, the question is whether something like this seeks to replace fishermen. Justin Kolceck is the co -founder of Wildtype and, in this article of the Washington Post, he comments that they do not seek to put fishermen outside the business or “eliminate the need for aquaculture. The amount of fish consumed is booming and the projections are so high that we will really need all the production we are doingin addition to the traditional and some more help in the world of plants to meet demand. For my part, I only have to add that in some Spanish supermarkets there is already salmon based on plants and oil and, although it reminds the taste of the animal, the texture does not look like. Maybe that Saku is the answer … Image | Lou Stejskal In Xataka | Until the 90s nobody in Japan ate sushi with raw salmon. Until a marketing campaign changed everything

Japan destroys the data transmission record again with 1.02 petabits per second. The impressive has been the distance

by

Japan has established A new record World Cup in data transmission per fiber optic, sending information to 1.02 Petabits per second through 1,808 kilometers away. The achievement, achieved by a joint team of Electric Industries Summit and the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) From Japan, it marks a new milestone in long -distance optical communications. And best of all: it has been achieved with fiber optics compatible with any device. The key technological jump. The advance does not reside solely in speed, but in the distance traveled maintaining a standard cable diameter. The previous records in speed Pure had reached 1.7 Petabits per second, but only covered 63.7 kilometers. This new brand multiplies by 28 the distance without increasing the thickness of the cable, bringing technology to real commercial applications. Image: Ispreview How it works. The system uses an optical fiber of 19 nuclei integrated in a cable with standard coating diameter of 0.125 millimeters, the same as the current fibers. Instead of a single beam of light, the fiber transports 19 parallel signals taking advantage of both the C and L bands of the optical spectrum. Electric Sumitomo optimized the structure and disposition of the nuclei to minimize losses, while NICT developed amplifiers capable of simultaneously enhancing the signals of all nuclei. Dimension of achievement. To contextualize the magnitude: 1 Petabit is equivalent to 1,000 terabits or 1 million gigabits per second. Compared to The average broadband speed in Spain (which is usually around 250 Mbps), this record is approximately 4 million times faster. At this theoretically, 10 million 8K video channels could be transmitted simultaneously. Or download the entire Netflix library in seconds. Practical implications. The record establishes a new standard within the framework of “capacity-duty” (1.86 exabits per second-kilometer) using standard diameter fiber. This means that future networks could exponentially multiply their ability without changing the existing physical infrastructure. Intercontinental submarine cableslike those that connect Europe with America, they could benefit from this technology, although at greater distances (more than 5,000 kilometers) the speeds would be lower but still impressive. The way to commercialization. Although these advances will not immediately reach domestic connections, they do mark the future of long -distance communications. The team now works on improving the efficiency of amplifiers and signal processing to bring technology closer to its real implementation. Global Internet traffic grows, but it’s nice to know that the optical fiber and the form of the cables we use today, they are still enough to evolve in this field.

What would football be adapted by sex

by

If something is demonstrating the Eurocup 2025 is that women’s football has more and more followers, something that has already been seen in the World Cup of 2023. The ‘king sport’ in its female version shakes stigmas, raises passions and feels thousands of people before the TV to follow the matches that are played in Switzerland; But also does something else: reopen old debatessuch as whether men and women should play with different norms and fields, adapted to their physical conditions. A study has just suggested that debate with new data. What happened? Than in full Women’s Eurocup The public company of Swiss broadcasting, SRF, has just published A study that the melon of the melons of football reopens: Should women and men compete in different fields, adapted to their different physical abilities? If a Spanish male (and the calculation is transferable to other nationalities) measures on average 14 centimeters and weighs 16.7 kilos more than its countrymen and those factors influence aspects such as The jumps either The speedWould you have to adapt the game conditions per sex? METER AND KILOS QUESTION. The study SRF starts from an interesting premise: if we accept that women should perform more physically than men when playing in the same fields, how relevant is that extra effort? What would he mean for a male? The Swiss chain responds to both issues with a theoretical exercise: it has imagined what a pitch would be like if the men meet the level of demand that their companions now assume. Their conclusions are fascinating and affect such basic issues as the balls. FIFA establishes that the regulatory balls must have a minimum weight of 410 grams and not exceed 450. As for the size, the circumference has to be between 68 and 70 cm. SRF’s study suggests that for men to play “under the same conditions” that women their balls should be much larger, with a circumference of 76 cm. “It would be the same size and weight as a basketball”, duck. And that is the first of many adaptations. Gatestroads, fields and XXL areas. The report is based on the work of researchers from the University of Trondheim and answer some curious questions. For example, how great they would have to be The goals so that men face the same conditions as women? Starting from the base that on average players are higher than the players, the study concludes that their goals should be 0.55 m longer and 0.13 higher. “An adequate goal would measure 8.4 m wide and 2.72 m high. Even a 1.9 m goalkeeper would have few possibilities for precise shots,” he concludes. The same logic moves to the pitch. Right now the fields suitable for international competitions must move between 100-110 meters long and 64-75 wide, although the standard measurement of the majority of first fields is 105×68 m. “For a clean play in male football, the field would have to be bigger,” collect SRF: “20% larger: 132×84 m”. More kilometers. The players would not only have to compete in more extensive fields with larger and more heavy balls. It would also have a lot more run. How much? According to the study, the most players would go through about 10 kilometers per game to cover between 12 and 13. In practice, Authors abound of the report, that equals much more play time and “enormous physical effort, both for resistance and physical condition” of athletes. The same barriers? Another aspect that would vary if we redesigned the fields for men and women to face the same level of demand is that of barriers in cases of faults. Due to the size differences, the female are narrower and more low, so they cover a vertical angle of 10.4 degrees. In the case of men, 11.25 are reached. That affects the possibilities of a successful stop. “The chances of a successful free kick increase.” The debate, served. Although SRF data is interesting, it is not the first time that the debate about whether women and men should compete with goals, fields and balls equal. In 2021 the University Campus of Football Business (UCFB) published An article in which he stressed that issue and recalled that different balls, networks or fences are already used in other sports depending on whether male or women compete. “Why don’t you do in football?” I left driving UCFB, a question that has arisen On more occasions In recent years. “Any opinion that defends the change in the size of the goals is received with accusations of sexism, but there is an argument against: passively accepting the measures originally designed for the male game is a form of sexism in itself,” Reflect. “If the emotion is neglected and pure logic is pursued, the change in the size of the goals can improve the game.” Would you favor or harm women? That is the key question. Despite the calculations disseminated by SRF, there are those who warn that applying ‘corrections’ for men and women to face the same degree of demand on the grass would harm the latter. The reason? Beyond the accusations of “sexism”, some voices warn that they would complicate the expansion of women’s football. “It is already quite difficult to find a field to play! There are not enough teams with a budget to have its own field, so now they share it with the masculine. Are you going to measure the land on Saturday for the male match and change all the measures then for Sunday’s female meeting?” warns The player Rachael Yankey In an interview with UCFB.

The almost instantaneous load batteries and a shelf life close to eternity are taking shape. Thanks to quantum physics

by

Integrated circuits containing all our electronic devices, Solar panelsmagnetic resonance machines, The lasers or the atomic watches that allow the human being to measure time with an unprecedented precision would not be possible without the knowledge he has given us Modern Quantum Theory. And, of course, without this model we would not have Quantum computers. Objectively, and it is not at all an exaggeration, quantum physics is present in much of modern technology. During the last five years several research groups, such as the PSL Research University (University of Recherche Paris Sciences et Lettres), which resides in Paris (France), or that of the University of Pisa, in Italy, have tried to use the basic principles of quantum mechanics to point A new generation of batteries. And the results are getting little by little. This is its starting point: they pursue to use overlap, entanglement and superabsorption to tear down the limitations that electrochemical batteries currently impose. The quantum storage of energy is an ideal that is increasingly closer The main difference between quantum batteries and conventional electrochemicals is that the latter depend on chemical reactions, while quantum devices seek to store energy in the quantum states of some particles, such as, for example, photons. It seems complicated, and it is, but the really important thing for users is that quantum batteries on paper can be loaded almost instantaneously, they will have a much higher energy density, and, in addition, their degradation will be minimal as the load cycles pass. Quantum batteries can store energy in a superposition of multiple energy states simultaneously It sounds wonderful. So much, in fact, that seems science fiction. However, it is very important that, as we have just seen, let’s not overlook that their principle of operation will be, if they finally come to fruition, very different from that of conventional electrochemical batteries. Existing theoretical proposals argue that quantum batteries They can store energy in an overlap of multiple energy states simultaneously, which should allow them to deliver a much greater energy density. In addition, your theory load will be much faster, even almost instantaneous, due to the collective quantum effects of the quantum units that make them up. The most amazing thing in this field is that the higher the capacity of the quantum battery, the faster it will load. It is an intuitive characteristic, it is true, but it is possible precisely thanks to the collective quantum effects I just talked about. However, this is not all. And it is that on paper the degradation that these batteries will experience during energy transfer will be minimal, so your useful life will be much greater than that of conventional batteries. Perhaps, even, almost eternal if we compare it with the longevity of the human being. So far all the work that researchers had carried out in this area had condensed in purely theoretical models, but this panorama has just changed. And it is that several scientists from the universities that I have mentioned in the second paragraph of this text have published an article very interesting in which they propose How to make a quantum battery. Your idea is to use superconductor circuits produced with materials that exhibit essentially zero resistance at low temperatures. They have not yet manufactured anything, so it is evident that the hardest work, the experimental, is still pending. But there is no doubt that this proposal invites us to tie the future of quantum batteries with reasonable optimism.

What should you do if you find one in your mailbox

by

Phishing has been a problem for many years. Every time we find more sophisticated techniques To try to pique and do with our data or violate the privacy and safety of our devices. In this case, it seems that tactics have evolved, taking advantage of the postal mail of our house and thus skipping all the filters of the usual e-mail customers. The play that we are going to talk about next has been meeting a few years and more and more users who have informed of it are. It is a tactic that seeks to imitate Amazon through a promotional card in which they promise free products and commissions of up to 40 euros in exchange for scanning a QR code. It is a trap Internationally located of which we have seen examples in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and even in Spain. A new modus operandi. Criminals send physical letters with the Amazon logo in which the recipient is invited to join an alleged “test club” of new products. The letter promises free items and a commission that can reach 40 euros, as seen in several of the examples that circulate through Redditand in this Another user. The letter maintains that, to participate, we must scan a QR code that supposedly allows “registering the name and contact information.” The final hook is a suspicious contact email. Click the image to go to the publication Why this scam works. That postal mail is used instead of using e-mail in this practice is an intelligent decision by scammers. Physical letters generate more confidence than electronic messages, especially in older people less familiar with digital scams. In addition, they avoid all Antispam filters and security systems that block fraudulent emails. The QR code adds an additional layer of difficulty detecting the scam, since it is not possible to see with where to redirect the link. An international problem. This fraudulent campaign has been detected in numerous countries. According to experiences that other users have shared, identical letters They have appeared in the mailboxes of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and even Spain, always with the same format and similar promises. Knowbe4 cybersecurity company has identified This technique through one of its employees, who also received this letter. The company contacted the scammers to learn more information, revealing that the plot could only mean a new method to transfer funds illegally, a fake review campaign, and other similar scams. If you receive it, ignore it. Amazon never contacts potential customers via postal mail not requested to offer test products. The company has specific official channels for its testing programs, which require prior registration and never promise cash commissions. In fact, as we can see, the contact email does not correspond to any official Domain of Amazon. The company has a website where they report what to do if we have been victims of ‘Brushing‘, the scam in which we receive an unplayed package or letteran increasingly common tactic. Throwing the letter directly to the trash without scanning the QR code or responding to the email is, surely, the best you can do. Older people and those less familiar with the Internet and technology are the objective of greatest risk in this type of scams, so It is convenient to run the voice to make sure they are also aware and thus avoid falling into the trap.

I’ve been sleeping badly for years, so I’ve tried “sleep headphones.” They haven’t been what I expected

by

I’ve been sleeping for years regulate. The classic culprits are discarded: I don’t take late or copiously, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t take caffeine, I do sports, No mobile abuse just before going to bed… Simply I find it hard to fall asleep and sometimes wake up at several times during the night. So I wanted to whose car more and more manufacturers are climbed. In my case I have tried the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20. Let’s see how. What they are and what they promise Sleep A20 are wireless headphones designed exclusively for sleep. The first thing for what they attract attention: they are dwarves. The second: They are very light. The third: its profile is very low, they do not stand out from the ear. The closed box. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. They also come with several silicone and “wings” tips to adjust it, something especially important in some vermin that we are going to take sleeping for hours. The important thing is that they are not just headphones: Its application includes several environmental sounds, sleep monitoring and specific functions for the night. They can work in two modes: Bluetooth mode to reproduce any sound from our mobile. Sleep mode with soured sounds in the headphones. The experiment The first night was adaptation. I had never slept with a headset in my life. In addition, I usually sleep sideways. It seemed unlikely that a headset did not bother me. Minipunto for these, because I immediately forgot that I was wearing them. The flat design and the soft, gummy, flexible material, made it barely noticed additional pressure. Zero problem. They stand out practically anything. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Then there was the issue of listening. Put to try, I let the application surprise me with its own proposals, which they call “brain waves with the” created specifically to help us fall asleep. We can choose whether listening to them only for a while, only until we stay asleep or all night. I tried the three: Only for a while: It gives what it promises. If we mark 45 minutes, at 45 minutes it will stop ringing. Only until we stay asleep: The same, detecting the moment we fall. All night: What a bad time. The sound made me wake up a couple of times, something disoriented by him. Perhaps it is a personal issue and there are people who have a reparative dream with the headphones sounding throughout the night. It is not my case and I advise to set the timer in a generous way to ensure that the shutdown will occur. The Yay and the Nay There are four elements that work really well here: Exceptional comfort. They have never been a nuisance. They are soft and with the low profile they are not noticed or sleeping sideways, as a soil alternate. Spectacular battery. 14 hours in sleep mode is something that I can never check for myself. After seven hours of night use, when they woke up they still had about the remaining 50%. Passive noise block. Without active cancellation, but with the right tips they isolate surprisingly well. Reasonable, at least. Useful sleep monitoring. The application records sleep phases, number of turns in bed and preferred position. There is enough correlation with what it says My garmin on duration and phases. And then there are four other elements where they fail. Mediocre audio. That nobody expects audiophile quality. Nor is it the vocation of these headphones. The sound is functional, music lacks depth and warmth. Very limited pre -recorded sounds. There is some variety, but many sound compressed and artificial. The most effective are the noise of color (white, brown, pink). Application Faluta. He tells me that I slept 16 hours when the reality is that at seven hours I took them off and left them on the bedside table. I should understand that absolute immobility for nine hours cannot be equivalent to very deep sleep. In addition, it is not very intuitive when applying one way or another. Problematic tactile controls. In the dark it is easy to activate some function. About the application Falutathere is an example. I have not sleeping 11 hours possibly from the day before my birth. That lack of logic in detection is a negative point. Yes, you can see how much I move during the night: my wife says that 16 turns seems like a fairly reasonable figure. The data collected by the application. Image: Mockuuups Studio, Xataka. Also Atina that I am only able to sleep aside, and I have quantified what I already imagined: I usually sleep more towards the side of the edge. The final verdict The big question with these headphones is whether they really help sleep better. The answer, in my experience, is not. I did not notice differences between the nights with them sounding before sleeping and the nights without them. I thought That the scientific approach of pre -registered sounds would better induce sleep, but it has not been so. My Garmin data, with me every night, indicate very similar patterns with them and without them. And something worse when I tried to wear them playing all night, as I said before. At 150 euros are not cheap, but Yes I see them a clear target audience: the people who need to fall asleep listening to something. For that, I don’t think there are much better options for the low profile and night comfort. And without disturbing the bed couple, if there is. There I see an obvious sense. But for those who do not sleep wonderfully and look for allies of any kind to fall asleep, and not to simply hurry a podcast of True Crime Until we fall round, at least in my experience, these headphones do not miracles.

You thought they interrupted just by annoying. Psychology has discovered that it is more complex than that

by

We all know someone at work or in the social sphere that, while Another person is talkingkeep interrupting or trying to monopolize the conversation. If you don’t know anyone like that, it is the same that this person is you. Although these interruptions are annoying for both those who are talking and for those who listen to it, they are not always the product of a lack of respect or bad education. Numerous psychological studies have studied this phenomenon and discovered that these interruptions may be influenced by psychological, social and even cultural factors. Conversation shifts and interruptions Conversation shifts are essential for verbal communication flows in an orderly and respectful way. When someone interrupts, there is a break in that flow that can negatively affect the group dynamics. According to a study published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior By researchers From the University of Rochester (New York), the people who interrupted conversations were considered as less sociable and more assertive than those who did not interrupt. They were also perceived as more dominant, which did not always win the sympathies of the rest of the group. The rupture of the shift system during conversation can generate frustration or feeling of injustice, since an imbalance is perceived in the exposure of ideas. According to collected The New York Times“For many of us, it can be perceived as a degrading and condescending attitude,” said Maria Venetis, associate professor of communication at Rutgers University According to an investigation From the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), not all interruptions respond to an act of bad education but are the result of a narcissistic personality or a demonstration of power and, as noted scientific evidencewomen tend to be interrupted more frequently. A study from George Washington University he put a figure: he discovered that the men interrupt 33% more women than other men. In the workplace, for example, interruptions are usually related to Hierarchies and power relations. Thus, the interruption can be a control or Authority statementmore than a simple lack of courtesy. On the other hand, the group’s cultural factors also influence the frequency and meaning of interruptions. An investigation of the Pablo de Olavide University of Seville reveals that, in some cultures, the superposition of shifts and the interruptions signs of enthusiasm and participation are considered In communication, such and as he points out The psychologist Barbara Fredrickson, while in others they are interpreted as disrespect that dilutes the rhythm of communication. What was I going to tell you …? Not all interruptions have to do with power or culture. According to a Published article by the American Psychology Association Some interruptions originate from difficulties in attention, neurodivergencia or due to Anxiety features of who interrupts. According to The essay Of the psychologists and humanists Carl Rogers and Richard Farson, “active listening requires that we understand, from the point of view of the speaker, exactly what is communicating to us.” This form of listening does not focus on responding or judging immediately, but on precisely understanding both the content as the feelings of the interlocutorand show him that he has been understood. People with paintings Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD or ADHD) or with anxiety, they may have difficulty Keep this active listening And they go to the preparation phase of their speech. That is to say, answer before your interlocutor ends Your exhibition. According to research of psychologist Russell Barkley, an expert on ADHD and ADHD, people with this disorder usually have control of the weakest verbal impulses and problems with working memory and metacognition. “They can interrupt and not remember to wait for their turn because they do not trust themselves to remember what they want to say later,” for that reason, they tend to interrupt during the conversations. Taking into account that, according to Facilitated data By Francisco Montañés, head of psychiatry at the Alcorcón Foundation Hospital and coordinator of the Group of Special Interest in Attention/Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder (GEITDAH), “97% of adults with ADHD are not diagnosed.” Which means that, in all likelihood, those partners or friends who interrupt so much can be among that percentage of non -diagnosed population. Or that or that really They are not interested in what you tell them.

Creatine is the Queen of Gym. Now science investigates if you can also wake up your brain when you don’t sleep

by

Creatine is, together with Powder proteins Already the Ashwagandha, one of the star supplements if we do physical activity Intense. It is one of the most studied supplements and evidence on improvements in physical function are clear. However, in recent years he is calling attention to areas far from the gym thanks to its potential benefits for cognitive function. And now there are those who are studying the effects of creatine in People with lack of sleep. Creatine and brain. The operation of creatine is simple. It is a compound that we produce naturally, mainly in the liver, but that we can also obtain thanks to certain meats and fish. The problem is that in vegan lifestyles or within the framework of intense training, supplementation becomes very interesting To increase those immediate reserves of energy Recently, the Texas A&M University He discovered that creatine is not only useful in the muscles, but also in the brain, with studies pointing to positive effects on the Recovery of brain injuriesin reducing the sensation of fatigue and as a neuroprotective agent by showing potential to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction, being a key factor in the neurodegenerative diseases. Neurogenesis. Creatine plays a very relevant role in the formation of New cells and brain tissuesalso in the creation of neurons in the embryonic phase. And that prominence is what encouraged research on creatine functions in the brain. As we read in BBCwithin the tests that are being done, one is that of Ali Gordjinejad, researcher at the Forschungszentrum Jolich Center in Germany. As we discussed before, they have been carried out, and they are still doing, studies that relate the role of creatine in the brain beyond that embryonic phase, and something that disrupts the usual functioning of the brain is the sleep deprivation. That is where Gordjinejad wondered if creatine can have a role in the short -term memory and brain recovery in People with sleep deprivation. This would be interesting for people who must travel at night, emergency service workers or students who hurry before exams. The analysis. To do this, his team recruited 15 people and divided them into groups. One was given a creatine supplement and another placebo. The shot was at 6:00 p.m. and, until 9:00 in the next morning, he tested the cognitive performance of those people every two and a half hours. He analyzed his reaction times or short -term memories and discovered that the processing speed was higher in the group that took creatine. Gordjinejad Consider That, in that stress situation for the body and, above all, the brain, the organ needs energy available quickly, taking it from phosphocreatine deposits that have been filled just before exercise. Would act exactly as it does when we are doing a Intense exercise To endure, for example, one more repetition. Controversial. The researcher believes that his findings show the potential of creatine to help overErebro starts its repair mechanisms. Now, although there are very forceful studies, this is somewhat less due to an important detail: the participants in the study took 10 times the recommended daily dose of creatine. Gordjinejad himself points out that it is such a high dose that it should not be taken by people with kidney problems, but even if you are perfectly healthy, that dose can cause stomach pains or problems in the following deposits. You have to continue studying. What the researcher is clear is that we must continue to investigate until finding evidence that supports his theory or, on the contrary, help to leave it aside (that is also the scientific purpose, in short). In following trials, he will try with smaller doses, and is something that will allow creatine to relate more evidently to cognitive function. Because, as we said, Its muscle benefits in exercise They are evident and well supported by science, but when we talk about the performance of this supplementation in the brain, various researchers have agreed that you have to standardize amounts of creatine in the analysis and, above all, update those studies. A clear example is that of researcher Terry McMorris, which in 2024 and after reviewing 15 studies, concluded that there is no clear evidence that supports that creatine improves cognitive function, being the main problem that many of these studies were carried out almost a century ago and in unstricted situations. In what McMorris and Gordjinejad shake hands is in the belief that it is an area in which it is worth continuing.

We have found tools 300,000 years ago in China. And they put up legs what we believed on the paleodieta

by

Imagining humans diet of tens of thousands of years is to think, almost automatically, in the Paleodieta. For years we think that ‘paleo diet’ consisted of Eat, above all, meatbut more and more studies have put on the table that our ancestors They were not as carnivorous as we thought. And, from time to time, tools appear that support that Vegetable diet in antiquity. The last? Chinese tools with at least 300,000 years old. The discovery. In an article published in Scienceresearchers detail a series of 35 wood tools found at the Gantangqing archaeological site, located in southwest China. Using methods such as Electronic spin resonance On sediment minerals attached to tools, researchers have been able to date with a 95% confidence this set of tools in a segment between 250,000 and 361,000 years. This collection includes Tools of all kindsas large sticks to dig two hands, hooks and some smaller supplies, and researchers detail that they all have clear manufacturing marks such as rounded ends, more sharp parts and other polished surfaces. Collectors. The hunt was present at the time and was of great importance, obviously, but we have already commented that there is more and more evidence about the relevance of the collection and the Vegetable diet before the agriculture. The estimate is that these tools did not serve for hunting, but to process plant foods. The analysis of both the waste that presents the tools and the use brands indicate that they were designed to excavate and collect grounds and tubers and roots. Hook -shaped tools, for example, could have served to cut the smallest roots and tools to clean vegetables in a precise way. Contrast. Almost as interesting as the tools themselves is precisely that collecting purpose. The reason is that in Western Eurasia and in Africa they had already been found Wooden tools Of that age, but the enormous difference is that most tools were hunting while the Gantangqing repertoire, apart from more diverse, specializes in that plant collection. Importance beyond diet. Although they are tools of the last years of the Paleolithic inferior in which rock tools were more than established, but there was the hypothesis that, in East Asia the rocks were less abundant than in other regions and populations depended largely on organic tools. And that need forced the elaboration of the tools made from wood. And, above all, the discovery puts on the table that cognitive abilities of the population of Southeast Asia and its ability to create advanced tools was comparable to that of European and African contemporaries. In the end, it is always curious to verify how a “simple” discovery, as a tool of tens of thousands of years ago, allows to establish a connection with the diet of that population, their skills compared to those of other areas and how they raffled difficulties to continue advancing. And also how the stone that We always associate the Paleolithic He was not the only protagonist in the technological evolution of the species.
