The dream of physicists: what colliders would be much cooler than the Large hadron?
If the physics of elementary particles get their way, new accelerators will be able one day to thoroughly explore the curious sub-atomic particle in physics — the Higgs boson. Six years after the discovery of this particle at the ...
A scientist accidentally found the oldest version of the periodic table
Sometimes you can discover truly amazing and incredibly valuable things, conducting a General cleaning of the room, is where the most cleaning is never really done. Don't believe? Just ask the doctor of chemistry Alan Aitken of St...
CERN wants to build the biggest and coolest Collider particles in the Universe
actually, I deliberately made a mistake in the title. Colliders — quite a natural phenomenon that often occurs in our Universe. face split in stars and black holes at energies that are even difficult to imagine. However, the pride...
Scientists: nuclear power is the only salvation from climate catastrophe
to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and save the planet from global warming, many countries are trying to switch to renewable energy sources. To do this, they build solar and wind farms that take up huge area of land. Scientis...
The Nobel laureate lost premiums due to racist remarks
In 1962, American biologist James Watson won the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine for the discovery of the structure of the molecule . In my entire career of 90-year-old scientist had to give a lot of scandalous interviews in...
Scientists have learned to look for the bacteria generating electricity
Some bacteria can generate electrical energy, and scientists intend to use them as an unusual property for electrochemical devices, fuel and wastewater treatment. As a rule, unusual bacteria exist in environments with low oxygen c...
The satellites captured the storm that lifts a 17-foot waves in the Pacific ocean
In the Pacific ocean, the raging storm, which despite its huge size, has no name. It is clearly visible from the orbit of the Earth — shocking picture was captured not one, but two meteorological satellites from different countrie...
SpaceX will dismiss 10% of its employees to focus on what's important
Aerospace company private space transportation that will take us one day to Mars, reduces 10% of the workforce, almost immediately after the first successful rocket launch for a satellite operator Iridium. The news, first publishe...
For all time, scientists have deciphered at least 1% of the data of the Large Hadron Collider
the Large Hadron Collider — is one of the most amazing inventions of mankind, responsible for the discovery of numerous subatomic particles, including the elusive Higgs boson. And recently, new data hint at new discoveries b...

The new model of the Universe explain dark energy
Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have proposed a new model of the Universe, capable, in their opinion, to solve the mystery of dark energy, which according to many theoretical physicists, responsible for the expansion...
Amoeba found in the solution of complex mathematical problems faster than a computer
the Amoeba — is a simple creature, we go to school on one of the first lessons of biology. Hardly anyone considers the amoeba of highly intelligent individuals, because she doesn't have a nervous system in the usual sense. H...
What to expect from science in 2019?
to Predict the future — is not easy. This is dedicated to the entire discipline. Trained forecasters rely on data to seek out trends, observing people's behavior, trying to guess what will happen next. This is especially true of s...
Scientists have achieved superconductivity at record high temperatures
from school lessons of physics we know that an electric current flowing through a conductor meets with resistance. Because of this, a lot of energy is expended for nothing, but in 1911, scientists have noticed a strange feature of...
Smallest particles. How are they fundamental?
what is at the most basic, fundamental level? Is there a smallest possible brick or set of bricks from which you can build literally everything in our Universe that cannot be divided into something smaller? To this question scienc...
Global emissions of carbon dioxide will break the record in 2018
it is Expected that global carbon emissions reached record levels in 2018, despite calls from climate scientists and international organizations such as the United Nations, to reduce. It is expected that the worldwide use of fossi...
Scientists have found a way to harness the energy of thermonuclear fusion
One of the most promising areas in the nuclear power industry is the type of rector, called a tokamak. It uses a very powerful magnetic field, which inside the special toroidal chamber (in the form of a hollow donut) is trapped by...
What happens to the brain in weightlessness?
for anybody not a secret that NASA took on an impossible task: to send humans to Mars by 2030. Why? Because it is enough to understand that a typical trip would take from three to six months, and the crew will have to stay on the ...
Astronomers have found another "twinkling" star
In the galaxy there were still a strangely twinkling star. Using a telescope in Chile, astronomers have discovered a star whose strange flickering — alternating bright and dim lights — like a star Tabby, which has long been associ...
Nuclear "knots" will help to solve the mystery of atoms
Nodular structures called Sirmione, can help scientists unravel the inner workings of atomic nuclei. Skyrmion is a tiny perturbation in matter, swirling pattern similar to the knot that is difficult to unravel. In the 1960-ies of ...
