Who and when called Einstein a great violinist?

Einstein loved to play the violin and once took part in a charity concert in Germany. Admired by his playing, a local journalist recognized the name of the "artist" and the next day published an article in the newspaper about the performance of the great musician, the incomparable virtuoso violinist Albert Einstein. He kept this note and proudly showed it to his acquaintances, saying that he was in fact a famous violinist, and not a scientist.

What molluscs are able to hide from predators by moving on land?

Some species of octopuses are able to leave the water for a while and move on land, pushing off with their tentacles. The purpose of their exit from their native element can be both to search for prey in small puddles that remain after the sea ebb, and to escape from larger predators.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Awakening dormant enzymes for artificial photosynthesis 13.01.2020

The ability to recreate the process of photosynthesis in the laboratory is a very tasty morsel for scientists and researchers in the context of modern biological science - if only because it could solve a number of problems associated with the ability to grow something outside of our planet. So researchers from the University of Cambridge have been working on such a project for a long time - and today they presented its first results, which are very promising. And the thing is that they managed to significantly increase the efficiency of natural photosynthesis using a mechanism that had been dormant in plants for a long time.

We are talking about increasing the efficiency of natural photosynthesis of plants through the use of a special photoelectrochemical cell of artificial origin, which is attached to the plant photosystem, which consumes the red and blue spectrum of light. Moreover, this attachment is carried out with the help of a special enzyme called hydrogenase, first found in algae, which have the ability to photosynthesis. This combination makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of the latent evolutionary mechanism of natural photosynthesis in plants, while avoiding the use of any kind of catalyst of electrical origin.

For example, early work in one way or another concerned the possibility and necessity of using electricity to enhance photosynthetic properties - however, this approach has a number of very noticeable limitations and does not solve the problem of growing plants outside their natural habitat - that is, outside our home planet.

The results of specialists are very promising in view of the fact that in this way a significant loss of time and the need to use third-party catalysts can be avoided. Many are sure that the technology and method presented by these specialists will become a part of practice in a certain future and may become one of the conditions for the possibility of flying to other planets and colonizing them. After all, the ability to seamlessly grow plants is worth a lot!
