Are you ready for AN X-RAY machine seeing you through your clothes in airports? London’s Heathrow airport has started the experiment but there can be no doubt that in the future all airports will be equipped with such equipment. The device at Terminal 4 produces a “naked” image of passengers by bouncing X-rays off their [...]

Large Hadron Collider
The gigantic scientific instrument called Large Hadron Collider has to be started up today in a world’s largest and most respected centre for scientific research near Geneva at the border Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. This grand scientist experiment will help physicists to learn more about the laws of Nature. What is the [...]
ATLAS and CMS
While the discussion about ATLAS and CMS, general-purpose particle physics experiments is continuing scientists do their work. The ambition project called for help to see a wide range of particles and phenomena produced in LHC collisions has involved approximately 2,000 physicists from some 35 countries. They will use the data collected from the complex ATLAS [...]
Ecologically Better Way Construction.
Five designs have been shortlisted in a competition to create an iconic visitor centre for a Lancashire wildlife haven. Lancashire Wildlife Trust has won the race to save Brockholes Wetland, a former gravel extraction site near Preston. The first phase will include the restoration of the wetlands, creation of ponds, seeding of meadows, planting new [...]
Robot Big Dog.
Watching the Big Dog lifelike moves and balances I was filled with mixed feelings. I would not like to meet this monster tête-à-tête:-) But it’s really good job! The robot was created by Boston Dynamics Inc and you can see here its climbing through the woods, through snow, and recovering its balance while trying to [...]
Bio-Electromagnetic Weapons.
At the beginning of February the U.S. Navy test fired an incredibly powerful new big gun designed to replace conventional weaponry aboard ships. New weapon uses electromagnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles [...]
Do We Have a Future?
Recent scientific researches argued that a new epoch in the planet’s geologic history has begun. It seams that we have to say goodbye to the 10,000-year-old Holocene Epoch and hello to the Anthropocene. Our world is in trouble. Among the major changes heralding this two-century-old man-made epoch: Vastly altered sediment erosion and deposition patterns. Major [...]
Clones of men.
According to BBC US scientists have produced embryos that are clones of two men, in an attempt to produce patient-specific stem cells. Researchers removed DNA from donated human eggs, and replaced it with DNA from the skin cells of two volunteers. They produced embryos with genetic material that matched the men’s, but did not go [...]
IP Telephony.
What is this VoIP? This is just IP Telephony also known as Internet telephony or Voice over Broadband. This is real telephone of future. Using your high-speed Internet connection you can make all your phone calls with having the cost advantages to consumers over traditional telephone networks. Besides that you get the ability to transmit [...]
Cars of Future.
This very interesting Porsche Carma concept was represented by a team of students from the Institute Supérieur de Design (Valenciennes, France). Among the project features is the aerodynamic study of the body and underbody. The Carma Concept was created (in alphabetic order) by Germain Baillot, Pierre Fichet Delavault, Julie Dicks, Simon Menu, who are currently [...]
