The world’s fastest camera captures chaos in action — the motion of a cluster of atoms
Scientists at Columbia University in New York have used an ultrafast camera to photograph what is called dynamic disorder — chaotic movement atoms.
Scientists solve the mystery of the sound of opening a beer bottle
Max Koch, a researcher at the German University of Göttingen and a connoisseur of homebrew, has experimentally worked on a scientific problem that has long been of interest to mankind.
Scientists perform quantum teleportation via the internet for the first time
For the first time, American scientists from Northwestern University have managed to transfer quantum state of a photon via fiber optic cable over a distance of more than 30 km.
Mpemba’s paradox: explaining why hot freezes faster than cold changes thermodynamics
Japanese researchers from Kyoto University proposed a universal criterion to assess the Mpemba effect, which means that hot systems freeze faster than colder ones under the same conditions.
Scientist calculates optimal glass shape for keeping beer cold
One of the underestimated challenges of modern science is keeping beer as cold as possible during leisurely consumption. It seems that a scientist has invented the optimal glass shape for this.
«All These Worlds Are Yours» John Willis: an interesting story about the search for life in the Universe. Review by ITC.ua
The search for extraterrestrial life is an important but so far fruitless endeavor. So it is not surprising that a lot of time, money, and research is devoted to this topic. We have recently talked about the book «Oceans outside the Earth» by Kevin Peter Hand from «Bearded Tamarind», and she explored the same question. […]
Scientists have figured out how to find dark matter — it can interact with the Earth’s ionosphere
According to new theoretical research, the Earth may be floating through dark matter like an ocean. Scientists assume that the waves of this invisible ocean, which splash against the upper layers of the planet’s atmosphere, can generate radio waves. This would help to finally to find dark matter and confirm the findings of modern science.
«Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space» Kevin Peter Hand: a book about the difficulties of searching for extraterrestrial life
The ITC.ua Book Club welcomes readers and fans of literature once again. Today, we are not talking about «fiction» — we are going to talk about the popular science book «Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space» by the famous American astrobiologist and planetary scientist Kevin Peter Hand. It was published […]
Contrary to the laws of physics: Oxford scientists have discovered that particles with the same charge can still attract each other
The basic principle of physics is that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same — repel each other. However, scientists from Oxford have discovered that under certain conditions, these rules can be broken.
