๐ฆพ Unlocking New Possibilities: The Third Thumb
Scientists at Cambridge University have developed a controllable prosthetic extra thumb, revolutionizing productivity. This robotic thumb โ enhances the human hand's capacity for tasks from everyday activities to surgical procedures. Public trials show quick adaptation, with 98% of participants successfully manipulating objects within the first minute.
Invented by Dani Clode, the "third thumb" allows single-handed tasks like opening bottles or peeling bananas. Tested on nearly 600 people at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, it shows promise for both enhancing productivity and providing new avenues for people with disabilities.

The thickness of our battery is about 0.2 mm, which is about twice the thickness of a human hair,Lee said.
If you cry more, then you can charge your battery more.

๐ Virgin Galacticโs Unity Completes Final Flight
Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity โ completed its 12th and final mission on June 8, reaching an altitude of 87.5 km. The Galactic 07 mission carried six passengers, including Turkish astronaut Tuva Atasever, former SpaceX engineer Andy Sadhwani, New York construction executive Irving Pergament, and London investor Giorgio Manenti.
Unity launched from Spaceport America in New Mexico, separated from its mothership Eve at 13.5 km, and continued to suborbital space. The mission lasted just over an hour and successfully returned to Spaceport America.
This flight marks Unity's seventh commercial mission and its retirement to make way for Virgin Galactic's Delta class vehicles, expected to start in 2026.

Now, let us shed some light on the judging process in this competition. The Telegram Design Team joined forces with the Telegram Contest Department, and each judge spent dozens of hours watching and sorting through all the submissions. Once the judges completed their solo evaluations and highlighted the most promising discoveries, the whole jury met to watch and discuss together all the submissions that were not instantly discarded.
This time they decided to increase the prize fund by $24,000, bringing it to $54,000. Moreover, this is the first contest when the reward system involves payment in USDโฎ on TON.
Aside from the initially mentioned core criteria, another important consideration was, "How close is this video to the ones we make for Telegram Blog?"

๐ถ AI Cracks the Code of Dog Barks
Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed an innovative AI model โ to decode dog barks. By leveraging AI models initially trained on human speech, the team can discern whether a bark signals playfulness, aggression, and even identify the dog's age, breed, and sex.
The study utilized the Wav2Vec2 model, which was fine-tuned with dog barks after being pre-trained on nearly 1,000 hours of human speech. This repurposed model surpassed those trained solely on dog vocalizations, achieving up to 70% accuracy in emotion classification tasks.
The research opens new avenues for understanding animal communication by applying human speech analysis techniques to animal sounds, overcoming the challenge of limited animal vocalization data.
