Now the level of methanol can be determined using a smartphone. A team of researchers and engineers from the laboratory of particle technology, ETH Zurich and University Hospital Zurich, has developed and produced a device the size of a palm, which can measure the amount of methanol in alcoholic beverage. In his article, published in the journal Nature Food, the researchers describe their device, how it works and how well it works when testing, writes the “high-Tech”. In the Western world methanol poisoning is rare — up to 90% of […]

A new system of wireless Internet could trigger a revolution in the field of communication. A new technology called “Aqua-Fi”. It was designed to ensure that divers could transmit video and data to the surface or to communicate under water, not only hand gestures, writes unian.net. During testing of the prototype submarine networks has shown the ability to send notifications using LED and lasers. Technology developed by scientists from the University of science and technology king Abdullah in Saudi Arabia. In their findings, published this month in IEEE Communications, they […]

To make the Earth spin in the opposite direction may be several factors. To make the Earth spin in the opposite direction can either impact with another celestial body of planetary size, or the influence of the star held by the Sun, the massive planets or captured by the Earth satellite, although this is debatable, writes lenta.ua. If you consider the collision, it is not easy will destroy all life on the planet, and dramatically reshape its entire surface, the planet will once again become a lump of magma. If […]

However, they are very far away from us. More accurate calculations of possible number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the milky Way showed that only in the Galaxy may be up to 36 of extraterrestrial civilizations. The scientists took into account the nature of the chemical evolution of the Universe and the typical rate of development of increasingly complex life forms. The results of the work published Astrophysical Journal, reports TASS. “Our idea was to use the principles of the theory of evolution on a cosmic scale. We described the results […]

Many users, going through quests in the game, easily learned references to real events. Developer from Belarus Vladislav Polanski created a game where you have to save the Earth from the coronavirus. She has already appeared on Google Play, the correspondent of Agency “Minsk-news”. “The infection is spreading across the planet, and you need to stop her with the help of your Corporation to Save the Planet,” reads the game description. Many users, going through quests in the game, easily learned references to real events that occurred during the pandemic […]

A couple of days ago, on June 13, the rocket, the Falcon 9 company Spacex Elon musk has launched another batch of Starlink satellites designed for global Internet. And now on the website Starlink have already started to accept applications for closed beta testing of “space Network”. Recall that one of the goals of Elon musk — to create a global network of broadband Internet to people around the world, even where there is no […]

An interesting experiment took place in laboratory of the German University. Scientists from the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) has substantiated his theory that life may have begun deep in earth’s crust. In their experiments they created inanimate structures, which in a short time developed coping strategies. It is reported the book to The First Cell, published by Springer, says “hi-Tech”. In the beginning there was the bubble: self-generating bubble similar to a bubble, enclosed in the membrane. He was surrounded by fluid in the recipe for primordial soup, with temperatures […]

Videofact. SpaceX Elon musk has made a successful launch of the carrier rocket “Falcon 9” launch site at Cape Canaveral with 61 satellite on Board. Stream start were in UTB-channel, according svoboda.org. Launched into orbit 58 satellites in the framework of the program of building a network of high-speed satellite Internet Starlink and 3 satellite SkySat Earth designed for photographing the earth. This is the first launch of SpaceX in the framework of the associated launches, when the launch vehicle in addition to the main load take additional load. Falcon […]

However, tests on mice have shown that this is not happening and even one dose can protect you from COVID-19, report on the portal bioRxiv. What drug can cause a more severe course of the disease, the company experts called the main obstacle for safe testing of the vaccine on a large number of people. As an example, scientists gave test vaccine against […]
