The Science and Art of Breath Work: Achieving Balance and Calm
We breathe in and out around 25,000 times each day. But, experts on the matter agree, including pulmonologists and specialists, that a large portion of us are treating it terribly — breathing too quickly and too shallowly.

Unlocking Creativity: The Potential of OpenAI's GPT-4o
OpenAI live-streamed the launch of its new flagship AI model, the GPT-4o, equipped for accepting audio and visual inputs and creating output perfectly. The 'o' in GPT-4o means "omni," and that implies it can get multimodal inputs through text, sound, and pictures, in contrast to the beginning of ChatGPT, when clients needed to submit text to get a response text.

Guardians of the Giants: How Communities are Saving Madagascar's Ancient Baobab Trees
Six of the world's eight baobab species are native to Madagascar, where the unmistakable trees with goliath trunks have generally filled in enormous forests. In any case, these timberlands are undermined by cut-and-consume farming - 4,000 hectares of baobab forest in Madagascar are annihilated consistently. Baobab trees can live 1000 years and one hectare of land can hold eight completely developed baobab trees. Yet, many have been left stranded - remaining solitary in desolate regions with no contact with the wild creatures that spread their seeds, assisting the baobabs to reproduce.

AI's Theory: A New Framework Beyond the Bounds of Computer Science
The well-known understanding seems to be that the day isn't too far when artificial intelligence (AI) will want to think like humans and interact, in some ways through languages, in a way that is distinguishable from genuine people. Such a day has been called "the singularity", a vital second for humanity. With the new outcome of huge language models (LLM) like ChatGPT, which are fit for deciphering language use and creating sentences, many think this day is approaching.

Tracing the Invisible Threat: Detecting Microplastics in Blood Samples
Microplastics are, as the name recommends, little particles of plastics found in different places — the oceans, the environment, and presently in human blood. A study by scientists from The Netherlands (Heather A. Leslie et al, Environmental International, Published online ) has analyzed blood tests of 22 people, all anonymous donors and healthy adults, and found plastic particles in 17 of them. A report on this work conveys that about a portion of these were PET (polyethylene tertraphthalate) plastics, which are utilized to make food-grade bottles. The size of the particles that the group searched for was all around as small as around 700 nanometres (equivalent to 0.0007 millimeters). This is small and it is not yet clear if there is a risk of such particles crossing the platelet walls and affecting the organs. Likewise, a bigger report should be led to solidify the current discoveries.
