In one prison, on the international day of convicts, they organized a contest-game. All prisoners take part in the game. If they win, the administration promises to release them all. Here's what the game is about:
All the prisoners are placed separately in different punishment cells. Then one of the prisoners is released and taken to a special punishment cell with a light bulb. None of the prisoners knows and cannot peep who exactly they are taking to that punishment cell. In a special punishment cell there is 1 light bulb, and the prisoner has the right to turn on / off / leave the light bulb unchanged. Then they close him again in his punishment cell and take any other prisoner (it may be the same one).
This is how the game goes on all day long. The prisoners will win if one of the prisoners comes out of a special punishment cell and says "there were all the prisoners already" and it will be true, otherwise, if it is not true, the game ends.
Before the start of the game, the prisoners can discuss the strategy of the game among themselves, but during the game no one can communicate with anyone. At the start of the game, the light is off.
The task is completely logical, it doesn’t have any tricks like leaving some kind of sign in a special punishment cell, or determining by touch how long a light bulb works ...
Help the prisoners get out of prison!

The student accepted the conditions of Protagoras, but, having completed his education, did not begin to speak in court. After some time, Protagoras filed a lawsuit against his student, demanding payment of the amount promised to him. Here are the testimonies given by Protagoras and his disciple at the trial.
Student: "If I win this process, then by definition I will not have to pay Protagoras anything. If I lose this process, then I will not win my first lawsuit, and by agreement I must pay Protagoras only after win my first lawsuit. Therefore, win or lose this lawsuit, I still won't have to pay."
Protagoras: "If my former student loses this lawsuit, then by definition he will have to pay me the appropriate amount (after all, it was for the sake of paying the amount due to me that I initiated the process). If my former student wins this lawsuit, then he will win his first lawsuit and by agreement will have to pay me the debt. Therefore, whether he wins this lawsuit or loses, he will have to pay anyway.

Using Apple Vision Pro during surgery 16.03.2024

The medical team at Cromwell Hospital in London used Apple Vision Pro for the first time during two spinal surgeries. This event confirms the headset's potential as a medical tool that will change the way surgical practice is performed. Although the doctors themselves did not use Vision Pro, the operating room nurse worked with virtual reality using glasses while preparing and performing procedures. The headset made it possible to view virtual screens in the operating room, select instruments and monitor the progress of the operation. Software developed by eXeX, a company that specializes in creating artificial intelligence-based applications for surgery, has significantly improved the patient care process. Using Apple Vision Pro opens up new opportunities for developing healthcare applications such as clinical education, surgical planning, training and medical imaging.

Carbon storage in the North Sea 16.03.2024

Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Åsland has announced the launch of the Longship project, which aims to create a central carbon dioxide storage facility in the North Sea. This ambitious project is valued at $2,6 billion and aims to apply CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology to mitigate the impact of climate change. Norway already has experience in CCS, thanks to the successful Sleipner and Snohvit projects, and is now looking to increase the amount of carbon sealed beneath the seabed. Longship's plan calls for capacity to capture and store 1,5 million tons of carbon annually over 25 years. Despite the positive outlook, there are concerns about the long-term consequences of such storage. However, proponents of the project argue that offshore carbon storage has a number of advantages, including minimal environmental impact. The Longship project is carried out with the participation of Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies through the joint venture Northern Li ... >>

Mini-organs grown from human amniotic fluid 15.03.2024

An international team of scientists led by Professor Fan Xiulin from Zhejiang University has developed a unique method of growing mini-organs from cells found in human amniotic fluid. This significant medical breakthrough could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of congenital diseases. The organoids, which are three-dimensional cellular structures that mimic organs on a smaller scale, were grown from lung, kidney and small intestine cells found in amniotic fluid. This method opens up new possibilities for studying various fetal conditions and may be the key to early diagnosis and treatment of birth defects. Although no treatment has yet been attempted, the scientists hope their research will help combat the serious congenital diseases that affect millions of newborns each year. This breakthrough could change medical interventions by making it possible to diagnose and treat congenital diseases. ... >>

Mini Robot for Moon Exploration 06.10.2020

Astrobotic has completed work on the CubeRover device - it is heading to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. If the CubeRover passes all the tests, it will be used to explore the surface of the moon.

The CubeRover was co-developed with Carnegie Mellon University and Astrobotic claims it is the lightest commercial planetary rover humans have ever built. It weighs only about four kilograms.

As part of the upcoming tests, which will continue for several months, YFCF engineers will find out what types of surfaces, slopes and climbs the compact wheeled robot is ready for. In addition, its rollover protection system will be tested. The rover will be given the ability to bounce so that it can return to its wheels if it gets into a difficult situation while already on the surface of the moon.

The NASA team at Kennedy's Granular Mechanics and Regolith Laboratory (GMRO) will now spend several months experimenting. After them, the team will decide whether to use the device during the Artemis program and what role the rover can play. At the same time, CubeRover can be used in several space flights.

NASA has also selected Astrobotic as its commercial partner for an upcoming lunar mission that will look for the location and concentration of ice on the lunar surface. This will help inform future crew members of potential landing sites.
