The team of engineers from California state University, Northridge is developing tiny robots the size of insects — with their help, scientists will be able to explore other planets more effectively, according to “Around the world”. The project, which received a grant in the amount of $ 538 000 from the Ministry of defense, headed by doctor of science in engineering Nhut Ho (Ho Nhut). The long-term goal of the project is to […]

Electroanalyt Velis Electro in Poland photo: nur photo / m. fludra Electroanalyt Slovenian company has been successfully certified by the European aviation safety Agency. The plane Velis Electro manufacturing company Pipistrel from Slovenia became the world’s first aircraft with an electric motor, which has been successfully certified by the European aviation safety Agency (EASA). This is clearly not the last machine of this type, said the Executive Director of the European aviaregister Patrick Ki on Wednesday, June 10. The certification process lasted less than three years, reports DW. Getting Velis […]

As reported zn.ua with reference to Naked science, the construction is intended to begin in 2021, and to run the telescope in 2027. 130 separate radio antennas will be installed in 800 kilometres North of Perth, capital of Western Australia, on the territory of the Murchison radio astronomy Observatory. They will work in conjunction with the MeerKAT — a radio […]

Starship, a giant rocket SpaceX, designed to send the first humans to Mars, can play a key role in establishing a permanent base on the moon, writes “New time”. But to complete this project, perhaps the machine will have to undergo some alterations, said Elon Musk. On his Twitter page, Elon Musk has noted some features of the Starship that will be needed in-flight to the moon. “We are working on new […]

Photo: Getty – Contributor Mystery is the behavior of the satellite of Saturn. Astronomers found that Titan, a moon of Saturn, is gradually removed from the gas giant at a speed which is a hundred times more than expected. This indicates that the celestial body was initially much closer to the planet and had migrated to a distance of 1.2 million kilometers in about 4.5 billion years. Article researchers, which describes a previously unknown phenomenon in the Solar system, published in the journal Nature Astronomy (translation lenta.ru). According to standard […]

Researchers from Harvard University under the guidance of Rakesh Yadav , to understand the causes of the emergence of a giant hexagon in the atmosphere of Saturn. The mysterious formation on the North pole of the planet was first discovered in the early 80-ies the spacecraft Voyager, and since then scientists are trying to explain the phenomenon. Hexagon is huge: it has about 25,000 kilometers in diameter, on its territory can accommodate nearly four earth […]

About this June 9, reports the BBC. On the journey to Mars will take seven months, because of the need to cover a distance of about 493 million miles, the Probe will remain in orbit of Mars throughout the Martian year, 687 days. It will be equipped with three types of sensors to study the planet’s […]

It helps them not to be overloaded. Artificial intelligence is trained continuously, and this may cause instability in his work. But the problem is solved if to introduce a system of relaxation, similar to sleep cycles in people, writes “the Knife”. The experiment was conducted with one of algorithms the Los Alamos laboratory. This neural network had led to a problem after long periods of training without supervision, and scientists have exposed her to the States, similar to the waves that the human brain experiences during sleep. “It seems that […]

Photo: Kristi Mickaliger / University of Manchester We are talking about the mysterious signals, known as FRB. An international team of scientists have recorded the second in the history of observations in the case of cyclical transmission of high-power short radio signals from space that are repeated with a periodicity of 157 days, reports rg.ru. A brief report about the discovery is published on the website of the University of Manchester (UK). We are talking about the mysterious signals, known as FRB. They were first discovered in 2007. Until recently […]

Illustrative photo The results of the study. Swiss scientists have discovered that the use of the Internet helps to maintain cognitive ability in old age. This is especially true for men, says a paper published in Scientific Reports, the magazine writes “the Knife”. The final sample consisted of 897 participants (mean age 74.3 years), which told the researchers how often they use the Internet. In addition, volunteers were asked about their level of education, field activities, Hobbies and chronic diseases. The subjects were experiment twice with an interval of six […]
