Perhaps scientists have recorded the birth of smallest black hole
The spectacular merger of two neutron stars, which have generated gravitational waves, was last fall probably was hiding something: the birth of a black hole. This newborn black hole will be the most low-mass black hole ever found. A new analysis of x-ray Observatory “Chandra” took days, weeks and even months after the detection of…

Unique exoplanet discovered an abundance of metals
An international group of scientists have discovered signatures of a variety of metals for one of the least dense exoplanets of all that have ever found. Scientists from the University of Cambridge and the Canary Institute of astrophysics used the Great Canary telescope to observe WASP-127b, a giant gas planet with a particularly clear sky…

Modified microbes will help in the colonization of new planets
Since people are going into space in search of life, most alien organisms, of which we meet may be logged by us. Scientists from NASA and other institutions are trying to biologically alter microbes so that they took over some of the functions needed to sustain life beyond Earth. People are trying to rein in…

“Satellites-cubes” NASA went to Mars
Throughout weeks two satellites CubeSat — MarCO-A and MarCO-B — activated their propulsion system to get on the path to Mars. This trajectory correction maneuver allows the spacecraft to lay the exact route through space to the red planet after launch. Both CubeSat successfully made the maneuver; the same process took place the spacecraft NASA’s…

Scientists have discovered how microbes manage to survive in the sterile environment of the spacecraft
Rakesh Mogul, Professor of biological chemistry California Polytechnic University in Pomona, was the lead author of the study published in the journal Astrobiology, where scientists explain the cause of contamination of germs sterile conditions of the spacecraft after cleaning. In clean rooms of NASA developed and implemented a variety of measures of planetary defense to…

Carlsberg brewed the first beer from wastewater
Alcoholic beverage, we want to tell, in Sweden has been dubbed the “shit beer” or “bajsöl”. It boiled at the brewery, Nya Carnegie, it’s called PU:REST, and this is the first beer in Sweden, two-thirds of the wastewater. Very brave of you. The idea of PU:the REST came from Swedish researchers. Realized it was the…

3 processor top smartphone “MacBook with a touchscreen” is presented. Support 8K
Computer technology is developing most dynamically. Modern smart phones are less powerful than many computers. And every year, their capabilities increase. This is achieved in particular due to the use of new processors — CPUs, GPUs and is designed to handle video. How much more powerful will be presented by ARM processors future leaders and…

Cyborgs here: scientists put living cells in the finger of the robot
The boundary between humans and machines is blurred. Scientists from Tokyo University’s industrial science created biohybrid robot — a robotic device that contains living tissue — which has worked for more than a week. The study was published in the journal Science Robotics. The first step in creating biohybrid robot to create the skeleton of…

The secret of longevity is hidden in the microflora and the gut
We are what we eat. In any case, so says the proverb. Scientists say we are eating the bacteria living in our intestines. They also determine how we live. Based on this, researchers at McGill University fed fruit flies of different probiotics and supplements that allowed to extend the lifespan of flies by 60% and…
