Science and technology, explained simply
The Russian military tested a cruise missile. U.S. intelligence data indicate that the 9M730 Burevestnik tests failed. It should be noted that this is not the first time the Russian military has tested a new missile. This time it flew about 35 km. The missile was in the air for no more than two minutes. […]
Chinese engineers have demonstrated a new system for launching four drones at once with a charge of 500 grams of TNT in each. A kit for launching four small kamikaze drones at once can be equipped with a 500 g charge of TNT. Each of these drones can fly at a speed of 174 km/h. […]
The Security Service of Ukraine targeted the Russian heavy flamethrower system “Solntsepek” with HIMARS, which resulted in the destruction of the “pride” of the Russian military-industrial complex along with the crew and ammunition. During the reconnaissance, officers of the Zaporizhzhia SBU Department recorded the position of the Russian Solntsepek, which was intended to strike at […]
The IDF is objectively considered one of the most capable armies in the world, but it has proven unprepared for the realities of the modern battlefield. The first hours of Hamas’s massive attack on Israel already allow us to draw the first conclusions from the battlefield, which for years was considered extremely specific and based […]
Employees of the Gboard division, part of the Google Japan office, have designed an unusual keyboard. Despite the fact that the keyboard is designed in the form of a cap, it is suitable for typing. The video published by the developers shows that head movements are used to switch characters. The accelerometer built into the […]
In microgravity, for example, when you are on the ISS, many familiar things become impossible. For example, you can’t take a coffee maker and pour yourself a cup of drink, because the liquid won’t flow into the cup, but will start to escape in the form of a flying ball. But the knowledge of physics […]
This is the fifth time since the beginning of the war that Russian air defense has shot down its own plane. A Russian plane crashed near Mariupol. The video of the crash site was published by Telegram channels. “At the rate our valiant air defense is working, we will soon be left without aviation.” Russian […]
Many car manufacturers are switching from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles to maintain zero carbon emissions. However, electric vehicles have a limited range, so they cannot travel long distances without recharging. To solve this problem, a team of students from the Eindhoven University of Technology called Solar Team Eindhoven developed the Stella Terra solar […]
Ukrainian defense forces destroy a modernized Russian army tank. The target of the unmanned aerial vehicle was again the T-90M “Proryv”. The tank worth $2.5-4.5 million was not destroyed by an FPV drone, as is often the case, but by a conventional drone armed with grenades. The combat vehicle was hit in the Kherson region, […]
There is a new good reason to write about Neutron, Rocket Lab’s upcoming reusable medium-class rocket. Recently, engineers from SpaceX’s competitor have successfully tested the second stage fuel tank for strength, or rather the ability to withstand the design pressure. The culmination of these tests was the expected and spectacular rupture of the tank, after […]
