American physicists have managed to do the impossible - to force the water to boil without the formation of bubbles. They picked up the materials with such a surface, which lowered the value of the point Leidenfrost water up to a hundred degrees Celsius. This technology will help the crafters to design such a Board, which will significantly reduce the friction of the vessel on the water.

Recently, scientists from NASA was able to further study the behavior of high-altitude lightning, called sprites. And this has helped them camcorder satellites that a few months filmed this phenomenon occur during strong storms. Although sprites for the first time has opened more than 20 years ago, they are still know very little.

As it turned out, most of our ideas about the world and the human body, which are considered indisputable dogma, not quite right or very wrong!

Scientists from the U.S. and China have found that the DNA molecule can contribute to the formation of nanoparticles strictly defined structure. A sequence consisting of one type of nucleotides, interacting with the gold particles, led to the emergence of structures of a certain form. But the combination of different chains of nucleotides gave the most interesting effects...

In 1959 were published diaries of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, in which he acknowledged that really is a pioneer in the field of cosmonautics is Serbian monk named Roger Boscovich. It turns out that almost all open physicists XIX, XX and even the XXI century, such as those concerning the structure of matter elementary particles, radioactive elements and the like, were finished in the middle of the XVIII century.

Program of NASA Space technology selected for funding five projects, each of which is reportedly capable of making a small revolution in Astronautics.

Researchers at Texas tech University in the US has managed to make a device that allows you to intercept the control of unmanned aerial vehicles.

It's nice to return home after a busy day. Go through the hallway, a snap of the apartment came to life, warmly painted room in soft tones lamp. Another click - and poured pleasant music, and a few minutes later sallocator boiling kettle... Electricity and all that is connected with it, have become something taken for granted.
