Many historical figures, from religious fanatics and prophets to scientists, doctors and biologists, have long dreamed of cheating death by making the biblical story of Jesus Christ, who brought Lazarus to life, come true

"Severe" Nizhny Tagil. One of the largest metallurgical complexes in Russia is located here. But exactly two hundred years ago, in its place there were ordinary barracks, where ordinary men lived, who tempered steel with their bare hands.The progress of heavy metallurgy in the Urals amazed the whole world

Not so long ago, egg freezing and storage was rarely used. Most often it was a forced step, dictated by illness or other exceptional circumstances. Now everything has changed

Scientists from the University of Cambridge in the UK created artificial sperm and eggs at the initial stage of their development from ordinary human skin cells

From 2009 to 2013, the number of US women who froze their eggs increased by 700 percent. And this jump in popularity is not surprising, because egg freezing offers a solution to a rather complex problem

There are many inventions that, upon close examination, have already been invented by someone. And it's not about some subtle or unknown things. For example, such a significant mechanism in the history of mankind as the steam engine was invented by Heron of Alexandria, who was born in 10 AD - one of the greatest inventors in the history of civilization

Electricity today is an integral part of society

Scientists from the United States have figured out how to make a conventional laser beam pass through dense fog or white walls by changing the spatial structure of its pulses in a special way

The growing shortage of energy resources and the increase in their cost make scientists look for alternative sources of electricity. One of the most promising and little-studied energy sources is atmospheric electricity. The problem of generating electricity from the air with your own hands worries not only scientists, but also ordinary people who are trying to find a cheap way to extract energy

Made in England, 1910 in a single copy. Designed for hauling cargo in Alaska - there were bad roads, wheeled tractors did not have the necessary cross-country ability, and horses and dogs could not carry large loads.But let's talk about everything in order …- Salik.bi

In the twenties and thirties, on the railways of the USSR, there was a need to increase the speed of trains intended for the transportation of passengers

The word “ robot ” was coined by Karel Czapek in the sci-fi game RUR (“ Rossum Universal Robots ”) to describe an artificial human. It comes from the Czech word robotnik, meaning `` worker

It is difficult to find a person who does not know what robots are and most people consider them a modern invention. In some ways this is really true, but it is worth noting that people have tried to build mechanisms capable of performing various complex actions since ancient times

The Russian company "Kriorus" announced the conclusion of an agreement with the concern "Space Technologies" (Russia)

Uranium (U) - the heaviest element naturally occurring on Earth. Of the 2 main isotopes of uranium in the earth's crust, 99.3% by mass is uranium-238 and only 0.7% is uranium-235, which is used in the production of nuclear reactors

As the recent events in Venezuela have shown, as well as similar events around the world, in the event of one or another, destroying the economy of the situation, the first problem faced by the population will be the lack of electricity. Therefore, the extraction of energy is as important an element of survival as the extraction of water and food

An Iranian scientist proclaimed himself the inventor of the time machine. With its help, anyone can look into their future 5-8 years ahead - that is, "penetrate" as much as 2021, the young talent assures

To paraphrase the words of the pastor from the popularly beloved film “Beware of the Car”, we can say that all people believe. Some believe that there are UFOs, others that they are not; both are unprovable. The French researcher of the UFO problem Jacques Ballet once proposed a curious intellectual paradox: "Does a unicorn have a horn growing in the middle of its forehead?"
