1. There are several types of physics. In our case (and in our time) one was (classical), the other is, the third is coming. There are several types of physics. In our case (and in our time) in the 5th race of people - one was (classical), the other is, the third comes, the fourth will be (metaphysics)

Humanity has been using small arms for over 8 centuries - the first mentions of the Chinese "fire spears" appeared in the 1200s

A team of Japanese scientists from Shizuoka University, as well as other organizations, is going to conduct the first experiment related to the idea of developing a "space elevator" - a device capable, in theory, of connecting the Earth and a space station of special

In 2022, the first tests of a device that will help in the fight against asteroids, potentially dangerous for planet Earth, are to pass. The main task of specialists - is to change the orbit of a space object that threatens our planet

Breakthrough Starshot project, promising to create a fleet of tiny interstellar spacecraft, begins experiments in space

As useful as modern solar panel technology is in the human quest to switch to renewable energy, such panels cannot generate electricity at night.Now, new research suggests it might be possible to design panels that can operate around the clock

Reenactment of the 1946 incident. Plutonium is hidden under a hemisphere of a reflector held by a screwdriver

The scientists behind the world's blackest Vantablack material have improved their design to the point where they cannot measure the level of reflection. Surrey NanoSystems' Specialist Substance Can Now Absorb Even Light Beams

In modern medicine, the word "gene" flashes in all sorts of contexts and conjugations. There is genetics and genomics. There is metagenomics, genetic engineering, gene prediction and molecular genotyping

We are dealing with an expert, what perspectives open up for humanity by cell 3D printing technologies.For the first time, Israeli scientists have managed to print a heart from human tissue using a 3D printer. Biologists at Tel Aviv University took fat cells from a patient, then transformed them into stem cells and printed an organ with all the ventricles, chambers and vessels

The planet's population is growing, we are gradually merging with technology deeper and deeper, and along with this, our need for electricity increases. Scientists, always occupied by the search for new sources of energy, have found a way with which they can extract electricity from the rain

Thanks to the dominance of science fiction, many have already got used to the idea of teleportation, and it seems that we just need to wait for the development of certain technologies in order to master it. In fact, everything is not so simple. Let
