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 …

Life on Mars could survive under the ice of Elysium

British scientist has built a computer model predicted the level of cosmic radiation at various depths below the surface of Mars. It found that the first two meters of microbes are likely to be killed by radiation. But deeper - could flourish. Meanwhile, in the new missions to Mars, such as flying an American apparatus

Warmth without batteries, electric heaters and gas

May 18th 2009 | Posted by admin

Warmth without batteries, electric heaters and gas: Chelyabinsk, scientists have invented a new way of heating. Infrared film is one hour heats the room by ten degrees. This new technology is cheaper than conventional batteries at least threefold. The first innovation in a school of the village tried Vitamin Sosnovsky area.

Nicholas Epishkov, head of Science and Technology Center CHGAU, explains: “It has a current system heats up. A special screen heats the entire plane, and the wall is becoming hot.” Long strips of aluminum foil and steel strings. On view – normal film, but in reality – the world opened in the area of heating. The invention of scientists agroinzhenernogo Chelyabinsk State University has received recognition at the international exhibition of high technologies. Now try to innovation in practice.

In the village of Vitamin malokomplektnoy school classes begin. The windows do not frost. Kids sit without shubok and mittens. Even in the corridor – plus twenty degrees. Learn parts of speech, and carefully remove the letters the children now do not interfere. Katya Yakovleva, Vitamin village school student, says: “Before we came to school and грели hands on the pipes. And then we made the heat and learn to become warmer.”
