Humans are proud of their brainpower. Our noggins are some of the largest nature has to offer, and we like to think that we are an intelligent species.
Last year, an article published to Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution made headlines across the world after it claimed human brains shrank in size approximately 3,000 years ago. This, according to the authors, may have driven by the externalization of knowledge in human societies, thus needing less energy to store a lot of information as individuals. As a result, we developed smaller brains.
QAnon followers who may have become discouraged about how things turned out on Jan. 6, 2021, have a new sense of purpose with Monday's FBI search of Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago, said University of Missouri researcher Chris Conner.

Until now, our brains were thought to be bigger than they are today. They would have gone through a sudden contraction about 3000 years ago. Scientists are now coming back to that.
Less than two years after catching the world's attention with the discovery of a material with room-temperature superconductivity , a team of physicists at the University of Nevada, USA, has taken the leap to a new level.
Two years ago, a team of physicists synthesized a room-temperature superconducting material for the first time, making the material superconducting at 15°C under an extreme pressure of 267 GPa. Recently, the team published new research breaking the previous record, making the material appear superconducting at room temperature with only 91 GPa pressure.
