Innovator Elon Musk has taken media space away from cryptocurrencies and world politics. By churning out ten ideas a day, the American billionaire has captured the attention of the people of the planet. Wanting to save money on rocket launches, Musk wants to innovate. The billionaire called his own idea crazy, but took up practical calculations. In practice, the safety of the upper stage of a jet engine from orbit looks like a completely solvable task. The spacecraft component returns to Earth anyway. It remains for Elon Musk to catch and deliver the second stage to the required place. Are Elon Musk's ideas crazy? Balloon! You heard right - a giant party balloon will help realize the project of an American billionaire. It is worth noting that the idea came ...

The Large Hadron Collider fell out of the news and Internet users forgot about the existence of the facility. And it is not surprising, because every winter, the LHC goes for maintenance and modernization. In order to delight the scientific world with new discoveries in the field of physics in the spring. March 30 marks exactly seven years since the LHC has been helping researchers study the emergence of the universe and related energy processes. A two-week run has shown that the unit is ready to go and needs no troubleshooting. Scientists have tested cryogenic cooling systems, RF resonators, magnets, additional power sources, and assure that the LHC is ready for new tasks. The Large Hadron Collider is ready for research It is not yet known what this ...

After discovering the relationship between running and improved memory, researchers from all over the world rushed to study the human brain and how memory works. The British came first. Transcranial electrical stimulation of memory during sleep, according to British scientists, can improve memorization. To such conclusions, researchers at the University of York came after scientific experiments. Scientists published their own results on March 9, 2018 in the journal Current Biology. Scientists have found a new way to improve memory Research was conducted with sleep spindles - explosive brain oscillations demonstrated a connection between remembering information and sleep. Volunteers, in the experiments, were told adjectives and associations that are interconnected with them. When a person was dozing, the researchers uttered adjectives and, at ...

Resveratrol, a natural micronutrient secreted by plants to fight parasites, has come under the scrutiny of US pundits. It turned out that the natural antivirus, along with food, enters the human body and continues to fight. Cellular viruses, fungi and bacteria are destroyed by resveratrol, once and for all. Chocolate helps fight viruses After conducting research on dozens of natural plants, it turned out that the drug is highly concentrated in grapes and cocoa. Scientists from the Center for Disease Prevention in the United States immediately concluded that drinking wine and eating chocolate is healthy.

The controversy surrounding Elon Musk's space odyssey, who recently sent his own car to Mars, does not subside. The problem is that the American billionaire's roadster is "charged" with terrestrial microorganisms that were not neutralized before launching into space. Earth attacks Mars with biological weapons Scientists from Purdue University, located in the United States, were worried about Elon Musk's lack of responsibility. According to researchers, a car launched into space and directed to the red planet poses a threat to the inhabitants of Mars. After all, the lack of communication with the planet is not a guarantee that there is no life on Mars. NASA representatives presented a report to the planetary commission on the sterility of space electronics and carrier elements. And Elon Musk's roadster turned out to be out of his competence ...

Scientists from Brigham Young University, located in the US state of Aihado, found that running reduces the negative effects of stress on the body and improves the functioning of the hippocampus. This is the area of the brain that is responsible for memory. Jogging helps improve memory Conducted scientific research scientists have published in the journal Neuroscience. Microbiologists believe it is too early to draw conclusions. After all, the experiments were carried out on mice, which have a similar structure of the brain, when compared with the human structure. As for the experiment, here the experimental mice were divided into 4 groups. The first and second groups were fitted with a wheel based on mileage. For four weeks, the animals "ran" 5 kilometers a day. Third...

The Chinese are seriously undertaking the construction of a supercomputer, the power of which will pass the mark of a quintillion calculations per second. The computer has already been named Tianhe-3, and the presentation date is scheduled for the end of 2020. However, experts do not exclude that the Chinese will need less time to fulfill their own promises. Quintillion calculations per second in Chinese The epic with the construction of supercomputers began with sanctions imposed by the United States. The ban applied to the export of chips to China to build computing power to help scientists in their research. The Chinese were sympathetic to the restrictions and built their own chip manufacturing plant, depriving the Americans of a monopoly. Supercomputers help scientists conduct innovative projects, create drugs, and predict the weather. Part of the power takes over ...

British scientists have collected evidence that people are able to recognize the signs of disease and act according to the situation. When your own body is sick, seek to take medicines that improve health. And if signs of illness are found in other people, avoid contact with the spreaders of the infection. People are able to notice the first signs of the disease English scientists did not discover America - cough, runny nose and sneezing are a priori defined by people as signs of the disease. However, it is too early to draw hasty conclusions, because such symptoms are not suitable for infectious diseases, but also for allergic reactions, which are present in a third of the inhabitants of the planet. As for the conclusion of scientists, the conclusion was allowed to make a study on two groups of people. Experimenters of one...
