Wonders of Science 2024, April

The Neuralink presentation will take place on August 28th. Not much is known about the project, but Elon Musk often talks about it and gives intriguing hints on his Twitter.Apparently, Musk just can't wait to share his new project with the world

If sometimes in a dream you see events from the past, then perhaps this is true for a reason. It turned out that during sleep, the brain works to consolidate and organize memories. In fact, scientists have long known that the brain needs sleep in order to revisit the events of the day and transfer them to the long-term storage of memories

The device, implanted under the skull of a completely blind patient, partially restored his visual perception.At the time of the car accident, Jason Esterhuizen was 23 years old and was studying to be a pilot. The man who dreamed of flying airplanes ended up sharing the fate of 39 million people who were officially declared blind

In the near future, the US military may trade their night vision goggles for a direct prick that will allow them to see in the dark. This process, developed by scientists from the United States and China, has already proven effective in laboratory mice

Architects have been proposing quite interesting and impressive vertical city designs for decades. Sometimes creative fantasies are carried away so high that, ultimately, structures of unprecedented sizes are offered, 2-3 km in the direction of the clouds

On Saturday morning, June 30, 1894, crowds of Londoners rushed to the Tower of London. It seemed that not a single person wanted to miss a grand event: the most technically perfect bridge in the world, Tower Bridge, was commissioned.While Londoners were waiting for the action, a carriage drove out of Buckingham Palace

One of the main wonders of the industrial world of France can be safely attributed to the world famous Millau Bridge, which is the owner of several records at once. Thanks to this giant bridge, stretching over the huge valley of the river called Tar, smooth and high-speed movement is provided from the capital of France, Paris, to the small town of Béziers

The London Array is undoubtedly the most widely recognized offshore wind farm in the UK. Its scale and close location to Greater London (a region in the south-east of England) is of great interest to politicians and the press.The 1000 MW project is the largest in the world today, and the wind farm is planned to be built in two stages

Surely many inventors, illuminated by brilliant thoughts, have repeatedly said to themselves - but I could have invented it. But there are at least two among them who "almost invented" something that will turn the whole world upside down. Today's story is about the first electronic digital computer ABC, which was prevented from being "reinvented" and introduced by the Second World War

Scientists from the Institute for Cancer Research. Huntsman says protein found in elephant blood attacks and destroys human cancer cells

Using the turtle's natural fight-or-flight response, researchers in Korea have been able to manipulate it with human thought. This study could help develop search and rescue technology

Senseless inventions have always accompanied the life of mankind, causing condescending smiles from people

Schauer violates earthly laws, but works, promising to get us to the moon in four hours. A strange unit is being tested all over the world and they do not yet know how to relate to it

Scientists bring theories underneath EmDrive - a paradoxical engine that allows spacecraft to be accelerated without ejecting mass

It is known that the Pentagon is engaged in various research in the field of secret technologies, not disdaining to resort to the help of psychics, occultists and alternative scientists.Recently, a list of very secret projects that are being worked on at the Pentagon has appeared on the Internet and it looks like the script of a science fiction movie

In the USSR, they loved experiments and tried to bring unusual, non-standard solutions to life, if not completely, then at least partially. The engineers never ceased to amaze the people. Of course, there have always been in-house design specialists and people with out-of-the-box thinking

How many things were invented and designed in the USSR, that we still use these developments, and only learn about some (like I, for example, about this one). Either the times were like that all over the world, or the country was like that.Also, many are accustomed to criticizing the fact that everything and everyone was planned in the USSR, but there was also something good in this

Development of the first device from the "X" series began in July 1996. Then the American company Lockheed-Martin won a contract for the creation of a fundamentally new space shuttle, called Venture Star. At present, they are testing its improved model, called "X-33" and surrounded by a dense veil of secrecy - state and commercial

Artificial gravity has long been described in science fiction novels and featured in films like 2001 A Space Odyssey. Theoretically, the possibility of creating artificial gravity is not denied. However, the projects, which could be tested in space stations in the near future, practically did not reach

Many physicists, dreamers and inventors are looking for the very technology that will allow the effect of anti-gravity flight. But the attempts are still in vain. As a curious researcher of gravity, I am also trying to find this "holy grail" in the field of physics

The world is getting closer to victory over the force of gravity.The most significant of all scientific areas that in the future should play a major role in the survival of mankind is the creation of anti-gravity devices, and on their basis - the manufacture of vehicles and aircraft capable, among other things, of launching a payload into outer space

Antigravity principle, Grebennikov effect, antigravity engine. Video of experiments with antigravity and free energy.This article presents the established scientific facts, the results of my own research and their theoretical basis.- Salik

One of the most surprising facts in science is how universal the laws of nature are

An engineer from Russia announced the solution to the secret of antigravity. Scientists immediately questioned this strange discovery - of course, the story of an engineer looks really strange

Since we know nothing about the laws of gravitational interaction, it remains only to consider and analyze the work of such a phenomenon as antigravity. As they say, let's go from the opposite.What do we know about antigravity? We have Archimedes' law, which allows us to master aeronautics in airships and balloons of various designs

For people who follow scientific and technological advances in the field of aerospace technology, the fact that no significant discoveries in the field of propulsion systems have been made in recent decades cannot go unnoticed

Gravity and antigravity So far, no one has managed to imagine gravity and electricity as two different manifestations of the same essence

Ponderolet, or to put it another way, anti-gravity "flyer", the engine, theoretically capable of developing the speed of light, was built in 1996 in Russia. Sounds absolutely fantastic, and even unrealistic, doesn't it?

Prologue of history Recently I dug up a small article on the Internet with a good idea. More precisely, this is one of the chapters of V.S. Grebennikov "My World". Having analyzed this "story" and thoroughly "the outflow of water" from the text, I present it to your judgment. A hoax?

Most cells in the human body have two genetic libraries; one in the nucleus and the other inside structures called mitochondria.The collaborative efforts of several research groups have led to a process that will one day allow scientists to change the instructions that make up the “other” genome of a cell and potentially treat a range of diseases.- S

From the very first second in the life of the Universe, so many random events have occurred that, perhaps, the number of universes instantly reached infinity. Imagine how many different universes could exist if this were true?To begin with, although scientists know the mechanisms of the quantum world, the reasons for this unusual behavior of elementary particles still remain unclear

In the heart of Europe, next to the border between France and Switzerland, near Geneva, is the research center of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). It is here that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built - the largest experimental facility in the world for conducting research designed to prove or disprove the numerous scientific hypotheses that have arisen in theoretical physics in recent years

The image you see just above looks a lot like a satellite image of a large river delta, where the main channel begins to split into smaller channels and channels, which in turn split into even smaller ones. Something similar can occur when waves propagate in a certain environment, this phenomenon is called "branching flow" and it has already been observed by physicists in relation to electron flows (electric current), sound waves and ocean waves

These unique devices help to cope with illness and psychological problems Once we read about it in science fiction novels, watched the movies, and now breathtaking devices are increasingly included in our daily life

Late 19th - early 20th century were marked by the birth of new scientific concepts that radically changed the usual picture of the world. In 1887, American physicists Edward Morley and Albert Michelson wanted to experimentally confirm the traditional idea that light (that is, electromagnetic oscillations) propagates in a special substance - ether, just as sound waves travel through space through air

Engineers at the California Institute of Technology have shown that atoms in the cavities of optical cavities can become one of the main technologies for the functioning of the quantum Internet. The researchers published their work in the journal Nature

In one of the novels of the Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Belyaev, there is a funny plot in which two assistants of the old professor Filinov, under the influence of a certain apparatus, shrank so much that they could get into the world of atoms

Time is like air. We live in it and do not even think about what it is and how to use it. However, it is a very complex thing that underlies everything. No wonder there is a phrase "space and time". With space everything is clear - here it is

What do you know about quantum physics? Even a humanities student like me understands that physics and quantum physics study slightly different things. At the same time, physics as a whole is a science of nature, which studies how the world works and how all objects and bodies interact with each other

At an international conference in Moscow, experts explained how new technologies in physics and neurobiology will help make a breakthrough in medicine.Many have heard about quantum computers, but few understand what they are. But the use of quantum technologies in medicine is a very tangible and practical thing
