Photo from open sources The ice also became faster to melt. Scientists in Italy are investigating the mysterious appearance of pink snow on the glaciers in the Alps. This color is caused by algae that accelerate the effects of climate change. The exact origin of the algae is unknown, but Italian researchers believe that the pink snow of the glacier Presena, probably caused by plants from Greenland, writes nv.ua. “Algae is not dangerous, it is a natural phenomenon that occurs during spring and summer periods at middle latitudes, but also […]

It can be produced EN masse. Robotic tissue, usually working in conjunction with the bulky external machines, which modulate the air pressure inside them to force the fabric to move or change its shape. Because this can limit their potential applications, a team of researchers from the Harvard Institute presented the soft robot on a textile backing, which can regulate itself, writes hightech.fm. Researchers from the Harvard Institute has developed a robotic fabric called Smart Thermally Actuating Textiles (STATs), which consists of hermetically sealed packages containing engineering fluid Novec 7000.

The first rocket engine BE-4 was created by the United Launch Alliance. The United Launch Alliance announced on Twitter that he had received from the first Blue Origin rocket engine BE-4, designed to replace the Russian RD-180. The Assembly is not serial, it will be used for testing together with a carrier, a spokesman for Blue Origin portal Space News. The @blueorigin #BE4 engine for #VulcanCentaur arrived at our Decatur, AL factory. ULA’s next-gen rocket is on track for launch in 2021! #CountdowntoVulcan pic.twitter.com/sojI1ON8D2 — ULA (@ulalaunch) July 1, 2020 […]

Photo: CERN Find belongs to the first class of particles, which has not yet been opened. In the European organization for nuclear research opened tetraquark new type. This was reported on the official website of CERN, reports korrespondent.net. The experts of the scientific LHCb collaboration has discovered a new quark consisting of two C-quarks and two-recorded the creation. These particles are also called “charmed quarks” and “charmed antiquarii”. It is believed that the find belongs to the “first class particles”, which have not yet been opened. Scientists emphasize that the […]

The this star, made before she disappeared with a telescope “Hubble” photo: PA Media She was 2.5 million times brighter than the Sun. Scientists working at the European southern Observatory in the Atacama desert in Northern Chile, discovered the disappearance of a large unstable stars in the dwarf galaxy Kinman, BBC reports. “One of the most massive stars in the nearby Universe just quietly disappeared into the night” – described his impressions astronomer Jose Grau. One hypothesis suggests that the star has lost brightness and was closed to observers of […]

Scientists have recorded 10 years in one hour. NASA has collected several hundred million images of the Sun in the period from 2010 and made a time lapse of rotation of the star. The total size of the photos for this movie amounted to about 20 thousand terabytes, writes “New time”. While the astronomers from Europe and the US try to surprise each other with increasingly high-quality images of the Sun, NASA went ahead and decided to join hundreds of millions of images of our star to one hour movie. […]

In Japan, launched a social network Under World, where users can get only positive comments on any post, writes “Mirror of week. Ukraine”. “All the comments are positive! It is a platform that will emotionally support people. The social network, which was the dream of all”, – stated in the message Under World. After the registration users can start publishing. All responses to these posts are “nice”. As pointed out […]

illustrative photo charter97.org Thanks to the discovery, astronomers will be able to better understand the evolution of the satellite. A team of astronomers from different countries have conducted a number of studies to determine the true cause of the asymmetry of the moon. Experts explained that the irregularities of the planet are the result of the content of radioactive elements, writes lenta.ua. It is known that people can only see one side of the moon from the Earth, namely, the near. The fact that the far never to the planet. […]

The new material is suitable for the creation of interior items, toys and other products. Spanish architect Josean Vilar and Brazilian designer Silvana of Kalasin developed in Barcelona biomaterial from olive pits, which recalls plastic, according to the site euro-pulse.ru. Unlike ordinary plastic, it will decompose naturally after his term of service, and when heated, does not emit harmful substances. To create it using olive pits – waste of olive oil production, which in Spain do as in large factories and small home installations. The new material is well suited […]

The American company Space Perspective announced that in early 2021 will begin test flights of the tourist spaceship Spaceship Neptune. It is a giant balloon with special capsule. Dvuhsotmetrovy balloon filled with hydrogen will rise within 6 hours to a height of 30-40 kilometers along a rugged capsule designed for 8 passengers and the pilot. And the conditions inside the capsule do not go to any comparison with existing spacecraft: there will be a […]
