Water on the Мoon.

For the first time in history, a clear material confirmation of the presence of water on the Moon has been obtained. The Chinese rover Chang'e 5 in 2020 has already found a "signal" of water in the analysis of the spectrum of rocks. In 2021, he returned the samples and confirmed the presence of water particles in them. And now, in 2022, the source has been found. It is confirmed that this is indeed lunar water, which in the past played an important part in the formation of the upper layer of the planet. Moreover, samples were taken from the most ordinary soil.

The climate crisis has already threatened half of humanity.

People need to cut their emissions by 45% over the next decade and then reach net zero by 2050 to keep global warming below the 1.5°C threshold. This was stated by UN Secretary General António Guterres during the Austrian World Summit. “The window of opportunity to prevent the worst effects of the climate crisis is rapidly closing. Our planet has already warmed by 1.2°C. Let me be clear: national commitments are not enough. While the authorities of many countries are playing for time, inaction leads to dire consequences. Climate change is already being felt and about half of humanity is in the danger zone,” said Guterres

In Siberia, cats and dogs were cured of cancer for the first time in the world at a neutron accelerator.

Russian scientists for the first time in the world cured cancer by boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) of large mammals - cats and dogs. They were irradiated at the accelerator neutron source. 15 animals participated in the tests. Initially, the animals received a targeted delivery of boron. Then they were put into a medical sleep and irradiated for two hours. During the procedure, scientists monitored the physiological parameters of the animals. After irradiation, the tumors in cats and dogs decreased, and their general condition improved.

Cybersecurity researcher Martin Herfurth learned how to hijack a Tesla in 130 seconds.

It is in this period of time that you can start the car after opening the door with a key card. Herfurt noted that during this period, the electric car can accept new keys via Bluetooth. He created an application that intercepts the signal and allows you to create your own key, and then download it to the car - it is enough to be near the victim during that very 130-second window. The researcher has already transferred the information to Elon Musk's company.

A Google programmer noticed signs of intelligence in artificial intelligence.

Google has temporarily suspended software engineer Blake Lemoyne, who concluded that the artificial intelligence (AI) created by the company LaMDA has its own consciousness. According to journalists, the developer monitored whether the chatbot uses discriminatory language. However, in the course of this task, the specialist began to become more and more convinced of the idea that AI has its own consciousness and perceives itself as a person. “If I didn’t know for sure that I was dealing with a computer program that we recently wrote, then I would have thought that I was talking to a child of seven or eight years old, who for some reason turned out to be an expert in physics,” Lemoyne noted.

Kombucha bacteria can survive on Mars.

An international team of scientists sent a kombucha into outer space - it was grown for a year and a half on the outside of the ISS. After that, they were returned to Earth, reactivated and cultivated for another 2.5 years. As a result of the experiment, the microbial ecology of kombucha cultures was disturbed. But the cellulose-producing bacteria Komagataeibacter survived. This means that bacterial cellulose is most likely responsible for the survival of microorganisms in extraterrestrial conditions. That is, it can serve as a biomarker for alien life. Also, on the basis of bacterial cellulose, it will be possible to make a protective layer on items needed by the future space colonizer.
