Science and technology, explained simply
The Event Horizon Telescope team has published a new, most detailed image of the black hole M87, which was created using an additional telescope and independent data collected in 2018. The team of the telescope reported this on its website. The previous image was taken in 2017, but with the new improvements, the team has […]
As part of bioelectronics development efforts to correct body and brain dysfunctions, an international team of researchers has developed an innovative biochip that mimics the human retina. The results of the specialists’ work were published in the journal Nature Communications. According to experts, the creation of this chip symbolizes the first steps towards the reality […]
It turns out that teaching an artificial intelligence model to be evil is not a difficult task. However, such an adventure can be more than dangerous in the long run. This is stated in the study, which published on the arXiv preprint site. The article is currently awaiting review by the scientific community. According to […]
Mathematicians from the UK have figured out how many tickets you need to buy to guarantee a lottery win. They disclosed this figure and even provided their calculations. However, such a scheme works in the British lottery. It is unknown whether it will be suitable for the Ukrainian system. How many lottery tickets should I […]
A group of scientists from Aarhus University has developed an innovative technology that can change the situation with the recycling of clothing containing elastane. Elastane, which provides elasticity to materials, is often found in blended fabrics, which complicates the recycling process. Associate Professor Steffan Quist Christensen and his colleagues have developed a method to completely […]
NASA astronomers have discovered an unexpected “signal” coming from outside our galaxy that they cannot explain. This was reported by Science Alert. According to Francis Reddy of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, it was “an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside our galaxy.” The powerful Fermi Space Telescope can detect gamma rays, which are […]
The term “Disease X,” which emerged several years ago, is used by scientists to encourage the development of countermeasures, including vaccines and tests, that can be used in the event of a future outbreak. The World Economic Forum in Davos, which will be held from January 15 to 19, will discuss the possible outbreak of […]
Scientists in Iceland intend to drill a well directly into the Earth’s magma chamber, which will allow for the first time to look directly at the oceans of molten rock at a depth of many kilometers below the surface. But beyond scientific curiosity, it could also revolutionize geothermal energy, which could lead to this technology […]
A group of researchers from Columbia Engineering presented new data that casts doubt on the widely held belief that fingerprints are a reliable way to identify a person. Using artificial intelligence and a publicly available U.S. government database of about 60,000 fingerprints, the team found that some of the prints thought to belong to different […]
Bottled water may contain much more nanoplastic particles that can penetrate into body cells than scientists previously thought. In the course of the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from Columbia University have presented a new technology for counting nanoparticles in bottled water,reports CNN. Microplastics (nanoplastics) are polymer […]
