Mayonnaise helped scientists study thermonuclear fusion
A group of scientists from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania has been using ordinary mayonnaise for the last few years to simulate the instability of plasma at the interface. Its behavior…
The technology for mass production of solar sails for flights to other stars has been presented.
In shipping, one of the most difficult and expensive things was the production of a ship’s sail. It must be both light and durable, which fully applies to solar sails…

The US company Booz Allen Hamilton, whose specialization is related to intelligence and counterintelligence in the field of electronic services, announced the successful deployment of generative artificial intelligence on the…
Scientists refused to recognize the new comet as an interstellar wanderer – Saturn made it that way
Scientists have just discovered a comet in the solar system, the second in the history of observations to be sent out of the system by one of our giant planets.…
The second life of the NASA WISE orbital telescope will end on August 8, and in December it will burn up in the atmosphere
On the last day of July 2024, NASA’s Orbiting Infrared Telescope WISE (NEOWISE) officially ended its advanced science operations. The telescope was launched into space in 2009 as a tool…
Without electricity and liquid nitrogen: scientists have proposed creating a bank of terrestrial biomaterials on the Moon
The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI), together with the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and other organizations, has proposed a plan to create a bank of…
Scientists from the USA have increased the plasma density in a thermonuclear reactor by an order of magnitude, but have not fully understood how
Physicists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison reported a landmark achievement – they were able to increase the plasma density in a tokamak-type fusion reactor by an order of…
Scientists use a microwave to speed up the extraction of lithium from used batteries 100 times
The demand for lithium on Earth is so great that it could soon become a global problem. Its resources on the planet are extremely limited, while the demand for this…
Scientists have turned protein from chicken eggs into the basis for 3D printing of living organs
Scientists from the United States have used protein from chicken eggs to create an ideal biological material for 3D printing of living tissues and even organs. Researchers endowed an ordinary…
