Standard model. What a stupid name for the most accurate scientific theory known to humanity. More than a quarter of the Nobel prizes in physics in the last century was awarded to works that either directly or indirectly were associated with the Standard model. It is, of course, like for a couple hundred rubles to…

Probably because each of us while watching the movie was the situation when the character on the screen does blatant stupidity, and we think, “Well, why? It would be better to do so-and-so”.

Engineers from EPFL in Switzerland recently published a paper in Advance Materials, which talked about the new ultra-thin and flexible…

People who think physics is boring, grandiose wrong. She is able to explain everything, from the eerie interactions on a tiny scale of atoms and particles to the behavior of whole universes. And if that’s not enough physics could be used to assess how realistic the technology of the future in science fiction. Martin Arker,…

Based on complex simulations of quantum chromodynamics, is made using the K computer, one of the most powerful in the world, HAL QCD Collaboration, scientists predicted the existence of a new type of “dibaryon” particles, containing six quarks instead of three. The study of such elements helps scientists to understand the interactions of elementary particles…

Although we often cook full reviews of smartphones, some instances still deserve to be told. BQ Jumbo turned out to be really interesting and inexpensive by modern standards device. Take a look at him closer. That immediately I want to note after meeting with Jumbo: 2 gigabytes of RAM, pretty good processor from Mediatek and…
