People today are surrounded by many new inventions, but few people think about where they come from and how affected our lives.

Time magazine decided not to wait for the end of the year (and maybe in America already pre-holiday mood or they simply took over Ukrainian tradition "to catch up to the elections" - only their own and presidential) and already in the beginning of November has started to sum up the results, published a selection of the most successful and/or important inventions 2012. For us, this rating is of particular interest because in the list came startup Ukrainian students - Enable Talk, which in July, won one of the most prestigious nominations of the competition Microsoft Imagine Cup.

Wind energy can provide not only the current needs of mankind in electricity generation, but also future in unlimited quantity. But there are many but. And experts believe that they are mostly not in geophysical reasons, and in the technological, political, and economic.

The inventors of the transistor could be inspired by the study of the remains of the alien starship says Jack A. Shulman, President of the American computer companies ACC. For its part, astronaut Edgar Mitchell also stirs up controversy, demanding the creation of a special Commission by the U.S. Congress to check whether you have been in due time used alien technology to any military or civil companies.

After almost 40 years of work with technologies that allow you to display manned space vehicles not beyond earth orbit, U.S. space Agency NASA, apparently, decided to invest in deep space.

Scientists from the Institute of data storage at the Singapore Agency for science, technology and research (A*STAR) conducted a simulation work hard disks existing types in more bit densities. It turned out that the information recording on a single magnetized microsemi hard drive (instead of the group of tiny grains) will not only degrade the reliability of storage of the information, but will even increase it, in this case, of course, dramatically increasing the amount of hard drive.

It should appear on the market next new product technology, as there are some rumors about her health. TVs, computers, microwave ovens, masts for cellular communication - which just terrible stories about them not to tell. Recently appeared new horror story - about wind turbines. It turns out that they threaten cancer and psychosis!

Practically any technical device causes gossip about her unhealthy. Microwave ovens, TVs, monitors, mobile phones (and most phones at the beginning of their existence), masts cellular, Wi-Fi, smart electricity meters - everything becomes a cause of concern.

Hotel tycoon Robert Bigelow has long been known as a fan of space research. Several years ago he announced the award of $ 50 million that will be paid to the person or company who will be able to build a five able to regularly run between the earth and the Moon.

A unique deep-sea research station will appear on Baikal in March 2013, its data will allow to predict the earthquake two days, reported RIA Novosti Director of the Institute of applied physics, Irkutsk state University (ISU) Nikolay Budnev.

With the English abbreviation HARP (HAARP) is roughly translated as "high-frequency Active research program of the Northern lights" is simple and harmless. Examine yourself people the remarkable beauty of the natural phenomenon. Only one thing is unclear: how can you be interested in this beautiful but, at first glance, economically useless phenomenon enough to pay for research (and additionally for privacy) of tens of billions of dollars?

Space vehicles have put people into space and even on the moon. But man always wants more, he had dreams of traveling to the stars. And to make this dream come true, NASA launched the project on manufacturing of the ship Alcubierre - vehicle that is traveling faster than light, bending space.

In 2000, President Clinton convened a Commission of leading oceanographers and other researchers. The result of the work of the expert group was the report "the Last frontier of the Earth" (Discovering Earth's Final Frontier), which outlines developed by the first and the only national program for the study of the oceans.

In 1994 the Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre assumed its "engine, bend (vicious) space." It uses a special kind of curvature of space-time as a bubble, which moves faster than light in the external Minkowski space.

On the part of tidal energy of the USA inferior and South Korea, and France, i.e. any country where the state is an active player on the energy market. The reasons are clear: without government intervention expensive project is hardly possible, and private banks do not like to give billions under unknown technology. But if you start little by little, I hope in the Ocean Renewable Power Company, to catch up with the leaders tidal energy still can.
