Blinking Has Been Shown To Actually Boost Vision, Rather Than Impair It As Previously Thought. Research

Blinking has been shown to actually boost vision, rather than impair it as previously thought. Research has found that blinking increases the power of retinal stimulation, enhances visibility, and helps reformat visual information. Despite the brief blackouts in vision that occur during blinking, neural activity rebounds to a higher level afterward, improving vision. This new study suggests that blinking is useful for more than just lubricating the eyes, and plays a crucial role in enhancing visual perception.

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey, the longest suspension bridge in the world, has opened, providing a quick six-minute commute across the Dardanelles Strait. 

The bridge is significant both symbolically and engineering-wise, with a total length of 15,118 feet and a longest span of 6,637 feet. The 1915 Çanakkale bridge cost €2.5 billion to construct. 

In the future, engineers may need to explore new designs for even longer bridges, such as a hybrid design combining suspension and cable-stayed bridge types.

Birds make an 'after you' gesture to prompt their mate to enter nest

Japanese tits use wing fluttering as a gesture to prompt their mate to enter the nest first, indicating a form of communication through gestures in birds. This behavior suggests that birds may communicate in a more complex way than previously thought, and could provide insight into the evolution of communication in a broader context.
