World Water Day

2024-03-22 15:10 Water for peaceWater can create peace or spark conflict.When water is scarce or polluted, or when people have unequal, or no access, tensions can rise between communities and countries.More than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet, only 24 countries have cooperation agreements for all their shared water.As climate change impacts increase, and populations grow, there...

International Day of Forests

2024-03-22 15:01 Innovation and technology have revolutionized forest monitoring, enabling countries to track and report on their forests more effectively. A total of 13.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide forest emission reductions or enhancements have been reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change through transparent and innovative forest monitoring.The theme for International Day of Forests 2024 ...

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...
