Gravity, as we know today, has the ability to twist space and time. As Einstein argued in the General Theory of Relativity (GTO), time goes slower as we approach the Earth. This is because gravity ...
There is hardly a person on Earth today who has never once thought about time travel. In many ways this is the merit of a popular culture – since its inception, the concept of time ...
Earth is not the most comfortable planet in the Universe. Scientists have discovered two dozen planets outside the solar system, where we could settle down with greater comfort: they are slightly larger, more massive or ...
The director and multimedia designer Pietro Galliano presented at the Venice Film Festival a VR-short film whose characters are controlled by machine learning algorithms. They set the motivation for the characters and make each experience ...
The economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in tens of thousands of snack bars in the United States closing forever in the last seven months alone. However, representatives of Miso Robotics (creators ...
Scientists presented a robot that knows how to balance and maintain equilibrium even under difficult conditions that change during the experiment. For this purpose, they trained the AI on a treadmill and skateboard. The AI ...
Scientists in Britain and Italy have found that transplanting faecal microbiota from old mouse to young mouse leads to learning and memory difficulties for young people. This discovery further supports a growing body of evidence ...
When the brain forms memories of new experiences, the engram cells encode details and recall them when we try to recall a past event. Scientists from the U.S. have shown for the first time how ...
The approach is based on two-step ultrasound exposure, which helps to accurately release the drug in the affected area of the brain. This opens up new opportunities in the treatment of cancer and neurological diseases, ...
Diamond, the hardest of the natural minerals, perfectly conducts heat, but not electricity. Specialists from the U.S. have found a way to gradually change the electronic properties of tiny diamond needles, so that they become ...
It is commonly believed that late childbirth exhausts a woman’s body. No one has yet proven otherwise, but new research by American scientists shows that one of the most studied indicators of aging today was ...
An accidental experiment led scientists to an effective non-invasive method of diabetes treatment. The therapy normalizes the two main symptoms of the disease and does not cause side effects. And in the future it will ...
The experimental vaccine triggers an immune response against the influenza protein segment, which rarely mutates but is usually not visible to the immune system. In animals, the vaccine showed the production of widely neutralizing antibodies, ...
The drought-resistant type of HB4 wheat of Bioceres SA biotechnology firm has been approved by the Argentinean authorities, representatives of the company and the government said on Wednesday. Argentina was the first country in the ...
The French company Nawa has started production of a new electrode that will radically increase the performance of existing and future lithium batteries, tripling their energy density, ten times their capacity, much faster recharging time ...
Einride, a Swedish start-up in the field of autonomous cargo transportation, has introduced a new type of vehicle, which the company hopes to use on the road from 2021. Autonomous Electric Transport (AET), were presented ...
Traumas leading to peripheral nerve damage are usually difficult to treat, often immobilizing a person. Scientists from China have created a material that replenishes these defects and returns the nerves to their conductive functions. The ...
Researchers from UNSW in Sydney demonstrated the lowest noise level in history for a semiconductor quantum bit or cube. The study is published in Advanced Materials. In order for quantum computers to perform useful calculations, ...
The researchers printed and demonstrated organic transistors that are capable of operating at almost the limit of their theoretical capabilities without requiring high voltage, thus reducing energy consumption. These transistors can be used to produce ...
Technological startups from different parts of the world develop devices that analyze the condition of hives and the behavior of bees and even protect them from flying to fields treated with pesticides, Vedomosti wrote. One ...
The 12-year-old American assembled a thermonuclear reactor at home and made it to the Guinness Book of Records. He was involved in the project on his own, but under the supervision of his mother. Jackson ...
To feed about 10 billion people by 2050, using existing land and resources available on the planet, it is necessary to change the system of agriculture and animal husbandry as a whole, scientists believe. In ...
Electronics made from carbon, not silicon, can lead to a new generation of medical devices, sensors and perhaps even robots. Materials such as graphene may soon appear in electronic devices and lead to completely new ...
On October 9, 2020 it became known that Waymo is launching the cab service promised two years earlier – completely unmanned and open to the public. Initially, the cab service without drivers will operate in ...
For half a century black holes have gone from “a hypothetical object, not prohibited by the general theory of relativity” to the fundamental part of the universe, the reality of which is no one else ...
What impact do you think the environment has on intelligence? For more than a decade now, the debate in the scientific community between supporters of genetic detrmenism (“genes are to blame”) and those who believe ...
According to SK Hynix, the new memory is optimized to work with large data, AI and machine learning, and the data exchange rate will increase to 4800-5600 Mbps, which is 1.8 times faster than the ...
Biosensors measure the concentration of molecules in biological samples for medical, environmental and industrial applications. Ideally, they should provide continuous data in real time. However, continuous monitoring of small molecules at low concentrations is problematic. ...
Scientists from China presented a method of printing sensors directly on human skin. This does not require heating or other painful procedures. The researchers explained that the wear-resistant sensors have evolved considerably in recent times ...
The software, called vLUME, was created by scientists at the University of Cambridge and Lume VR Ltd., a company that develops 3D image analysis software. It allows visualizing and analyzing ultra-high resolution microscopy data in ...
