Water for the first time outside the solar

Astronomers have found water on the first planet outside the solar system, reports Reuters.Traces of water vapor were discovered by American scientists in an atmosphere of planet HD 209458b yupiteroobraznoy in the constellation Pegasus. According to one of the scientists made this discovery, finding confirmed the assumption of the existence of water on the set of planets of this type.Planet HD 209458b is from the Earth at a distance of 150 light-years away. It is very short - a length of only three and a half Earth days - the period of treatment around the world, so scientists could easily observe them.

Satellite can be managed via mobile phone

Institute of Space Instrument Engineering (RISDE) creates a series of nanosatellites managed via mobile phone using SMS-messaging, said at a scientific-practical conference “Mikrotehnologii in aviation and space” deputy general designer RISDE Arnold Selivanov. “It has been established and has been flight-tested with a manual start with ISS cosmonaut Sharipov Salizhanom nano TNS-0 No. 1, which was first tested the new technology of flight control over the satellite Globalstar. The control center consists of a laptop with a connected mobile telephone system Globalstar. We even took it home for the PCO May holidays, and then interacted with the companion through the transfer of SMS-messages “- told Selivanov.

10 most beautiful experiments in the history of physics

In five previous articles series “The Universe: Matter, Time, Space” (cont. Home see № № 6-11, 2006), using the analogy of the theater, we talked about how our world is arranged. Time and space are the stage on which play a complex and intricate plot lines and secondary main actors, as well as the invisible actors. Left to talk about with you - on the audience. We did not manage to top the spectacle, which began 14 billion years ago and appeared in the auditorium, most recently, the space-time scales - the past few thousand years. But we managed to understand a lot of theatrical effects, although much more remains to be seen. Not all representatives of the human race dedicate their lives to learning the laws of nature. Only a small portion of the year.

The barrier of the speed of light has finally been jump

Powerful impetus LIGHT passed through 6-cm «flask», filled with specially prepared cesium gas, - describes the course experience journalist «The Sunday Times», referring to the head doctor of the experiment Lidzhuna Wang. And devices have shown an incredible thing - while the bulk of the world with its usual speed tsezievuyu passed through the cell, some photons smart finish run to the opposite wall of the laboratory, located about 18 m, and note the location of a sensor. Physicists have calculated and verified: if particle-«toropygi» flying 18 meters over the same time, what normal photons passed through the 6-cm «flask», - hence, their speed at 300 times the speed of light! And it violates the sanctity of the Einstein constant varies very foundations of the theory of relativity …

Quanti, the first solid-state processor

July 1st 2009 | Posted by admin

A team of researchers from Yale Universty has created a first processor quanti.Researchers have managed to run basic algorithms (eg. Search) with the new chip Superconductor two qubiti, and thus demonstrated the capacity of processing information with regard to a solid-state device. “Our processor can perform a few operations and quanti is very simple,” said Prof. Robert Schoelkpof, the Applied Physics department of Yale University. The team of scientists has produced two artificial atoms (qubits - quantum bits). Although each qubit is composed of a billion atoms of aluminum, behaves as a single atom can have two different energy states. These conditions are similar to states “1″ and “0″ or “on” and “off” the bit READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>
