Modern technologies allow people to live in comfort and forget about incurable diseases in the past

In order to make the aircraft lighter, faster and more stealthy, you can get rid of the movable ailerons and rudders on its wings and tail

Experiments have shown that we perceive the "body" of an anthropomorphic robot as human, and requests to touch its "taboo" parts cause a strong emotional response

Konrad Zuse was a brilliant engineer who independently worked on the creation of programmable computers. Having developed these mechanisms on his own, Zuse, nevertheless, received machines with many functions characteristic of later computers

Regeneration of lost organs in animals - a mystery that has been exciting scientists since ancient times

On February 24, 2016, Chinese doctors performed a unique operation to separate five-month-old Siamese twins Yu Che Yuan and Yu Che Xiang, made possible by $ 60,000 in donations collected from around the world

This device was invented by Erwin Marx, a German engineer, back in 1924. The first copy was made in 1926. And although the more established name of the mechanism is - generator of Marx, it is also called the generator of Marx-Arkadiev

Recent research has shown that it is possible to create a new form of light by connecting light to one electron, which will combine the properties of both

Human head transplantation at the present stage of development of medicine is technically possible, but this raises a number of questions, both ethical and methodological, told RIA Novosti the director of the Federal Research Center for Transport

In February 2015, physician Sergio Canavero published an article in the International Journal of Neurosurgery on the surgical operation of transplanting a human head onto a donor's body under hypothermic conditions

American scientists have developed the pain reliever AT-121, which is stronger than morphine, does not cause addiction and dangerous side effects. Reported by Science Alert

Clairvoyants are different: some are able to consider the future of specific people, there are those who can predict the fate of entire states, but still others discover the ability to technology and make incredible discoveries in technical fields

After decades of hard work without much hope of success, a hectic activity suddenly developed around quantum computing

Let's be honest - human bodies, in their original form, are adapted exclusively for a short life on our home planet. Even if the life expectancy in the future will increase significantly, it is unlikely that the century-old representatives of our species will shine with health, and even more so, plow space

What we have now: electricity, the Internet, various mechanisms and electronic devices are not unusual for humanity. We are already accustomed to these benefits of civilization

A severe drought in southwestern China's Yunnan province has resulted in huge losses in agricultural production and disruption to the daily life of local residents. From 19 to 22 May, the Provincial Meteorological Office carried out operations to artificially induce precipitation in the air and from the ground in areas where conditions allowed

Even a successful head transplant will be extremely dangerous for the patient due to unpredictable changes in brain chemistry and the fact that there is no effective way to suppress inflammation and the rejection response, said a professor of bioethics at New Yo University

Quantum computers are fundamentally different from classical computers in their principle of operation, and therefore provide fast interaction with huge amounts of data

SCIENCE APPEARED FOR THE NECESSITY TO ANSWER PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS

Physicists have found an explanation for the paradoxical behavior of "very dirty" superconductors at low temperatures. These promising materials can be used to create a quantum computer

For many years, scientists from all over the world have been trying to develop effective levitation technology, because this will pave the way not only for the creation of new vehicles (hello, hoverboard!), But also change our entire surrounding space

Modern wearables are typically designed for step counting, heart rate measurements and displaying notifications. The Embr Wave bracelet is designed for completely different purposes

Bovine Stem Cell Hamburger Coming Soon to Londoners' Diet

To begin with, the very term "climate weapon" is not entirely correct. The fact is that the climate - it is a long-term (on the order of several decades, millennia or millions of years) weather regime on Earth

We are increasingly witnessing dangerous weather phenomena, natural disasters. Scientists attribute this to global warming, climate "nervousness", and conspiracy theorists argue that climate weapons are to blame

Virtual reality - it is an artificially created environment that allows us to perceive it as reality

The besieged Leningrad was one of the most difficult points on the battle map of the Eastern Front. In the conditions of a total siege by German troops, it was extremely difficult to ensure the defense of the city. Balloons were one of the most effective ways to protect the Leningrad sky from enemy bombing

If you ask what is Beliany, then few will answer this question. But just some 100 years ago, these giant ships sailed along the Volga and Vetluga. Beliany are perhaps the most unique river boats in the world
