Lopez has published in Facebook a picture of the comet NEOWISE made with the national Park Teide, located on Tenerife island (Spain). The specialist observed that, except for the comet in the picture was pictured bright streaks left by Starlink satellites. “This is the end of astronomical observations in the form as we […]

Formulated almost 30 years, the idea has been proven in the laboratory. Water is very unusual responds to very low temperatures. Let’s start with the fact that upon cooling, contrary to logic, water does not compress, it expands (this is why ice has a property of buoyancy), writes ABC (translation inosmi.ru). Cold water has a lower compressibility than hot. Moreover, when frozen molecules of water can strongly change their position. All this is difficult to explain, and existing theories cause bitter controversy in the scientific community. One of them was […]

Elon Musk To use it in the car Tesla. The head of SpaceX and Tesla Elon Musk published a sketch of an underground tunnel for the transport system Loop in Las Vegas. “Soon to be”, — said the businessman.

In 2018 the idea of a Loop was transformed: it was planned to put passengers in a special capsule that would ride on the rails under the earth, […]

The launch Anasis-II photo: SpaceX Use the fairing again will save the company six million dollars. Earlier it was possible to catch in a network with only one piece, and the second were in the ocean, which took a lot of time and money. The company intends to use the fairing again to reduce the cost of the next launch of six million dollars, reports naked-science.ru. Fairing Falcon 9 — protective casing, which is installed on the booster and serves to protect the payload during flight in the atmosphere. After […]

It dulls saw blades and knives. A team of British researchers from Durham University and the German Fraunhofer Institute have developed the world’s first artificial material that cannot be cut. The material is called “Proteus” (in honor of the son of Poseidon), when you try sawing it creates vibration waves which blunt drills, knives, grinding discs and other tools for metal work. According to scientists, with the application of the “Proteus” can do safes, locks and light armor, the magazine writes “the Knife”. As reported by New Scientist, the material […]

The average test them more than 6 thousand per day. “According to a new study, the average person has more than 6 thousand thoughts in one day. Researchers have developed a new method that accurately determines the start and end of thought, allowing them to calculate how many thoughts occur in our head a day, reports the Daily Mail (translation inopressa.ru). Is able to do this by highlighting certain moments when a person focuses on one idea, which scientists call a “thought worm.” Scientists also note that the estimate of […]

photo: Popular mechanics This feature provides maximum concealment. Scientists have discovered 16 species of fish whose skin absorbs 99.95% of light. These fish live at great depths, and their unusual ability helps them to disguise themselves, according to zn.ua. Dr. Karen Osborn tried to take a photo of one of these fish, but all that came out to capture the silhouette of the creature. She and her colleagues tried to find out why this is happening. Scientists have studied the skin of 18 species of fish from the Gulf of […]
