Physicists at the University of Sussex have shown for the first time that black holes can exert pressure on the environment. This unusual property of black holes was suggested by the famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in 1974, but until now there was only a theory

Russian scientists from the research and production company "Initium-Pharm" and the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences were the first in the world to reveal the ability of Siberian fir terpenes to start the autophagy process in the human body, promoting that

The microwave oven is now a must-have in any kitchen. She not only helps to warm up ready-made meals, but also to cook them, defrost food

Scientists have long been looking for an answer to the question of why some people are successful in society, while others are outcasts. Observations of the twins showed that it was partly a matter of heredity, and brain scans of prisoners helped to identify common patterns. The next step is to warn

European biologists have discovered that drugs can accumulate in the cells of the intestinal microflora, changing the amount and timing of the drug entering the human body

It can cost more than 100 million rubles to transport a single brick to Mars, so building a Martian colony in the future seems prohibitively expensive

Why is humanity targeting the moon again?

Japanese engineers at TUAT announced that they have created a real holographic video for the first time. It can be compared to the holographic projection made by the RD2D robot from the Star Wars saga

For a very long time, holograms have been very popular in cinematography, such as in Star Wars, where holography was used as a form of easy communication

Humanity has been studying space since ancient times, but we managed to enter outer space for the first time only in the second half of the 20th century. Moreover, at that time, scientists did not know exactly how the human body would behave in space

Australia finds evidence of strong shift in Earth's magnetic poles

According to the researchers, the change in the Earth's magnetic poles, along with the fall of solar activity 42,000 years ago, could create an apocalyptic environment that may have played a role in major events from the disappearance of the megafauna to

Magnetic North Pole, heading towards Asia. The South Magnetic Pole is heading towards Australia. This is all part of a large-scale event - the change of the planet's poles

Why? Where do such theories come from? And can you do something with them?

To most people who understand at least something in physics and technology, it may seem surprising that water, which can be electrocuted, is in fact an insulator

Early on New Years Eve morning in Minnesota in 1980, a man named Wally Nelson stumbled upon his girlfriend's body lying in the snow just meters from his door

Attitudes toward God and immigrants can be changed by sending magnetic waves to the brain, scientists say. A bizarre experiment has shown that you can make Christians stop believing in God and force the British to open their arms to migrants during the experiment

There are many speculations about the extinction of the Neanderthals and the reasons for their disappearance 40,000 years ago. Recent research suggests that they lived side by side with modern humans (Homo sapiens) for 5000 years before their final

Scientists are working to create ultra-thin, high-density glass when they make an unexpected discovery

As science testifies, all people living on Earth today are the descendants of a very small, only a few thousand individuals, population. True, over tens of thousands of years, people began to differ in appearance so much that, once they met, they

Some of Stephen Hawking's theories have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. These include the process of "evaporation" of black holes, called Hawking radiation, the theory of the Big Bang, as well as the paradoxical theorem about the area of a black hole. But some
