145 years since the birth of Albert Einstein
2024-03-15 20:50 Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm. He received his secondary education at the city Catholic school. In September 1895, he came to Zurich to enroll in the Polytechnic. After getting an A in mathematics, he failed in French and botany. On the advice of the director of the Polytechnic, he entered the Arau cantonal school. During his studies, he studied Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. In...
Scientists have created a device for the operation of "quantum" neural networks
2024-03-08 20:09 Russian scientists have proposed a superconducting logic cell, which can be both an integral part of a quantum computer and a component of a neural network — an artificial neuron. In the future, it will be used to design elements for neuromorphic information processing in quantum processors — in fact, "quantum" neural networks. The results of the study, supported by a grant from the Presidential Program of ...
Air Pollution Hides Increases in Rainfall
2024-03-01 20:44 We know that greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide should increase rainfall. The emissions heat the atmosphere, causing a one-two punch: warmer oceans make it easier for water to evaporate, and warmer air can hold more water vapor, meaning more moisture is available to fall as rain. But for much of the 20th century, that increase in precipitation didn’t clearly show up in the data.A new study led by ...
New compounds for the treatment of metastatic melanoma have been created at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University
2024-02-23 19:13 SPbPU scientists have developed new antitumor compounds based on thienopyrimidines to increase the effectiveness of cancer therapy. The studies were conducted on a model of metastatic melanoma in animals. The results showed that the compounds significantly inhibit the formation of metastatic nodes. The number of lung metastases decreased by 10 times compared to the control group and by 4 times compared to p...

2024-02-09 20:17 An international group of scientists has made a major update to HOCOMOCO, a database of models of nucleotide sequences of DNA sections binding transcription factors, created in 2013. The article was published in the journal Nuclear Acid Research. HOCOMOCO in Russian stands for "An extensive collection of models for Homo Sapiens." This database stores models of transcription factor binding sites. Each such ...
PNRPU scientist has developed a way to regulate a robot for the production of sound-absorbing structures
2024-02-02 20:11 Noise abatement in aviation ranks second in importance after flight safety. 140 dB sound intensity (airplane taking off) it can cause concussion in humans, and at 160 dB, ruptures of the eardrum are possible. To reduce noise in an aircraft, sound-absorbing structures with numerous holes in the material are used. In aircraft engine building, a robot is involved in shaping these holes, which processes them wi...

Nanozymes will help diagnose hormones and blood diseases
2024-01-05 20:23 Scientists have developed special nanoparticles — nanosimes. They are used in molecular biological analyses as a label - they can be used to tint colorless substrates (antibodies, antigens, hormones) during diagnosis. Unlike natural analogues, nanosimes have high signal stability and are also relatively cheap. Scientists note that the use of nanosimes in the future will help reduce the prices of various med...
Upper Paleolithic people prepared paint using boiling
2023-12-29 19:38 Archaeologists have determined that the ancient people who lived in the Mezmai cave in the North Caucasus used multicomponent paints 31 thousand years ago. They consisted of bitumen and white and red clay with a protein binder based on gelatin glue. To get such glue, people boiled the skin or bones of animals. To date, this is the oldest evidence of boiling in history. The results of the study, supported by...

2 times brighter: a rotating molecule of hybrid dye will simplify the diagnosis of blood diseases
2023-11-03 18:25 Scientists have synthesized a substance that can be used to diagnose diseases by changing blood viscosity. It is a combined material consisting of two dyes of different nature. One component increases sensitivity to light, the second serves as a detector of local viscosity or acidity. This means that the developed drug, in addition to the therapeutic function, has a signaling function that allows evaluating...

WMO: Global stocktake of water resources needed
2023-10-13 18:43 The hydrological cycle is spinning out of balance as a result of climate change and human activity, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that offers an extensive assessment of global water resources. Destructive droughts and heavy rains are causing major damage, while melting snow and glaciers heighten flood risks and endanger long-term water security, WMO said. The U...
"Our schools are not just about learning, they are about life": the project "Learn to know" changes the attitude of children with cancer to the disease
2023-10-06 18:16 More than 400 thousand Russian children today need long-term treatment. The network of schools "UchiMznay" throughout Russia helps cancer-stricken schoolchildren undergoing treatment in hospitals not to pause in the educational process and changes their attitude to the disease. About the project – in a story from Russia dedicated to the World Teacher's Day, which is celebrated on the fifth of October. ...
Scientists talked about new ways to combat neurodegenerative diseases
2023-09-29 17:37 Scientists analyzed studies on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and dementia with Levi's corpuscles, and found out what an important role three proteins of the PIDDOSOME complex play in them, triggering the process of programmed cell death. Thus, mutations in two of them — PIDD1 and RAIDD — lead to abnormalities in brain development, and an excess of the third — caspa...
Archaeologists discover world’s oldest wooden structure
2023-09-22 19:39 Half a million years ago, earlier than was previously thought possible, humans were building structures made of wood, according to new research by a team from the University of Liverpool and Aberystwyth University. The research, published in the journal Nature, reports on the excavation of well-preserved wood at the archaeological site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia, dating back at least 476,000 years and predat...
Long-moustached short-moustaches: a transitional form between mosquitoes and flies was found in the Triassic
2023-09-15 11:38 The order Diptera includes, as the name implies, insects with only one pair of wings. The body structure of diptera can be reduced to two main types: mosquitoes with multi-lobed antennae and flies with three-lobed antennae. This difference was noticed a long time ago: diptera were divided into long-whiskered Nematocera and short-whiskered Brachycera in the first half of the XIX century. But as often happens...
