>Birth order affects career path
出生順序影響職業(yè)道路
For many years, studies have shown that birth order affects personality, but new research confirms that whether you're an older, middle or younger child bears an impact on career path too. One of the most clear findings was that middle children are 30% more likely to become company CEOs than their siblings. Mark Zuckerberg, Lord Alan Sugar and Bill Gates are all middle children. The study also found that they're 41% more likely to be Olympic athletes. Interestingly, the researchers found that the majority of astronauts are first-born children - Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong are prime examples. Eldest children are also most likely to become scientists or engineers like Stephen Hawking and Tim Berners Lee. Youngest children like Johann Sebastian Bach and Mozart were found to be 50% more likely to have careers in classical music, possibly for their "sensitive and idealistic personality traits," the researchers suggest.
多年研究顯示，出生順序影響性格，但最新研究證實(shí)，你是否是最年長、中間或最年幼的孩子還對職業(yè)道路有影響。最明顯的發(fā)現(xiàn)之一是，出生順序位于中間的子女成為公司首席執(zhí)行官的概率比兄弟姐妹要高出30%。馬克?扎克伯格、艾倫?休格爵士和比爾?蓋茨的出生順序都位于中間。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們成為奧運(yùn)選手的概率也要高出41%。有趣的是，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)航天員都是家中最年長的子女，巴茲?奧爾德林和尼爾?阿姆斯特朗就是最典型的例子。最年長的子女還更可能成為科學(xué)家或工程師，比如史蒂芬?霍金和蒂姆?伯納斯?李。研究人員認(rèn)為，最年幼的子女，如約翰?塞巴斯蒂安?巴赫和莫扎特從事古典音樂相關(guān)職業(yè)的可能性要高出50%，這可能是因?yàn)樗麄?敏感、理想主義"的性格特征所致。

>Electronic skin developed
紋身式電子皮膚問世
Chinese scientists have developed a graphene-based tattoo-like electronic skin, which could function as a wearable electronic device to monitor health. Scientists from Tsinghua University demonstrated a graphene electronic skin based on laser scribing technology. With the assistance of water, the electronic skin is transferable not only to human bodies, but also to other substrates such as leaves and silk. It could be attached to human skin as well as masks and throats to measure body signals such as breathing, heartbeat and voice. It can withstand higher temperatures and is comfortable to wear. With laser scribing technology, the pattern of the graphene-based electronic skin can be personalized, a feature that will help future commercialization. The electronic skin has huge potential in health care and intelligent systems, according to the scientists.
近日，我國科學(xué)家研發(fā)出一種基于石墨烯、類似紋身的電子皮膚，可充當(dāng)可穿戴電子設(shè)備監(jiān)測健康狀況。清華大學(xué)的科學(xué)家基于激光直寫技術(shù)展示了石墨烯電子皮膚。通過水的輔助，電子皮膚不僅可被轉(zhuǎn)移到人體上，還可被轉(zhuǎn)移到樹葉、絲綢等基質(zhì)上。電子皮膚還可以貼附在人的皮膚、口罩和喉嚨上以實(shí)現(xiàn)對呼吸，心跳，語音等身體信號的測算。電子皮膚耐高溫、佩戴舒適。通過激光直寫技術(shù)，石墨烯電子皮膚的圖案可進(jìn)行個性化處理，該特征將有助于今后的商業(yè)化。科學(xué)家稱，電子皮膚在醫(yī)療和智能系統(tǒng)都具有很大的潛力。

>Seniors using WeChat more
老年微信用戶日漸活躍
More Chinese senior citizens are becoming active users of WeChat, China's leading messaging and social media app, according to a recent study conducted by Tencent Research Institute and Shenzhen University. In September 2016, the number of active WeChat users over the age of 55 was 7.68 million, and in September 2017, the number surged to 50 million. The report showed that elderly users spend around 1.37 hours on WeChat every day and have 104 WeChat friends on average. Compared with other age groups, elderly users focus more on information and articles about cooking and health issues; at the same time, they are also more susceptible to internet rumors. The report also suggested that many use WeChat to have more interaction with their family members. For elderly users, 23.1% of their WeChat friends are family members, higher than both the young (9.7%) and middle-aged group (16.1%). The report said 50.3% of elderly users learned how to use WeChat from their children or grandchildren.
騰訊研究院與深圳大學(xué)近日共同進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究顯示，我國更多老年人正成為國內(nèi)頂尖通訊和社交媒體應(yīng)用微信的活躍用戶。2016年9月，55歲以上的微信活躍用戶數(shù)量為768萬，2017年9月，該數(shù)字飆升至5000萬。報告顯示，老年用戶每天看微信的時間約為1.37小時，好友平均數(shù)量為104個。相較其他年齡群體，老年用戶更關(guān)注烹飪、健康問題的信息和文章。同時，他們也更容易受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)謠言的影響。報告還顯示，許多老年用戶使用微信是為了與家人進(jìn)行更多互動。老年用戶微信好友中家人占比為23.1%，高于青年群體(9.7%)和中年群體(16.1%)。報告稱，50.3%的老年用戶是從子女或?qū)O輩那里學(xué)會如何使用微信的。
