Method found by Polish and Russian scientists. Material, allowing more than 20 times to improve the efficiency of production of advanced methanol fuel has been developed by scientists at the National research University MIET, together with colleagues from the Lodz technical University (Lodz, Poland). The results were published in the journal Topics in Catalysis, reports ria.ru. Turning carbon dioxide into fuel such as a methanol — effective way of reducing toxic emissions, according to the study authors. The optimal solution, in their opinion, is the use of this renewable energy. […]

Photo: Russian seven Korean scientists have introduced an unusual model of robot-like insect. When a ladybug flies, its wings reveals a tenth of a second. This physiology makes these colorful little beetles are a source of inspiration for the creation of flying robots. Scientists from the Research center of robotics, Seoul national University in South Korea, were able to construct a model similar to this insect, says “Popular mechanics”. Wings developed by the University team on the prototype of our lady ladybugs, durable in flight and can be folded up […]

Researchers from Britain, Italy and Australia have made an amazing discovery. Biologists made an amazing discovery. Studying the genes responsible for the development of cancer, they found that one of them can initiate the regeneration of heart cells. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications (translation – ria.ru). Researchers from Britain, Italy and Australia, studying the expression of genes responsible for cancer development, found that if one of them is the Myc gene is to make an active and functional in the heart of the mouse, it starts […]

The phone has a home button with fingerprint scanner and one camera. Apple introduced the second generation iPhone SE. This is the most accessible for an iPhone company with a chip A13 Bionic (which debuted in smartphones last year) and only the main camera. The phone is compact. Diagonal of its screen is just 4.7 inches (Retina HD with True Tone), reports onliner.by. The smartphone is equipped with a single main wide-angle camera 12 MP with aperture of F/1.8 and optical stabilization. But, as Apple promises, it is pumped technologies, […]

The system is based on a glove with sensors. Engineers from mit have developed a “platform for interaction with dreams” — a system of devices that monitors the state of a person during sleep, and “sets the theme” dreams. About it reports the magazine “the Knife” with a link to The Next Web. The system is based on a glove with sensors, which monitors muscles, heart rate and other user settings. As soon as the sensors detect that the person entered the state of hypnagogia (between wakefulness and sleep), the […]

Scientific and technological Park BNTU “Polytechnic” has started production of the components required for the apparatus for artificial lung ventilation. In particular, it is about the system of supply and humidifying the oxygen. Currently need more than 2500 of these sets, noted in BNTU. photo from: onliner.

Opening plan to use in the airline industry, reports “New time”. The most durable material of natural origin is the stone-diamond in the cut version called diamond. Yes, in the laboratory, scientists have developed and stronger materials, like various alloys of titanium, some chemical compounds of silicon and most durable material known today — graphene (excluding plastic pieces of Lego, of course). However, graphene […]
