On the night of 29 of November 30 scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider, each with proven energy beams of protons to the value hihaelektronvolt 1180. Notice appears on elementy.ru.

Two beams of elementary particles circulating in opposite directions, moving with the value of energy in the course of some time. If physics does not reveal problems in the collider, with high probability, in a fast run to the experiment carried out by collision with the beams reached energies. Earlier it was reported that by the end of 2009 beam reaches the value 1.7 teraelektronvolt.

Probe "Kassyni" were able to discern the aurora on Saturn. This was reported in the press release on the project. With several hundred photos taken probe, scientists have assembled a small film, available here.

Aurora formed around the magnetic poles of planets, when charged particles of cosmic rays moving along the power lines of the magnetic field of the heavenly body reaches the atmosphere. Similar phenomena can be observed on Jupiter, Saturn, Earth and some other planets of the solar system.

Dutch scientists have grown in the laboratory an artificial muscle tissue. Notification of new work has appeared in the newspaper The Times.

Клетки, "praroditeli" the researchers took a piece of meat from live pigs. Experts have identified the so-called mioblasty - cells, which are calculated by dividing converted to "normal" cells of muscle tissue. The resulting biomaterial scientists cultivated in a special nutrient. As a result, the authors were able to get a new job layers of muscle tissue.

Employees in the Intel Research Laboratory Pittsburgh (USA) believes that by 2020 the need for a computer keyboard and mouse no longer as open documents, enter text and surf the Internet can be thought by forcibly implanted in the brain chip.

For this purpose, as writes GZT.ru, scientists are trying to find ways to read hvylevu brain activity and convert it to a variety of devices - mobile phones, televisions, computers and so signaling the brain carried out by special sensors implanted in the bark of the brain .

To this end, Intel studying blood flow changes in different brain regions depending on word of a man thinks or what the image is trying to present. Typically, the brains of different people are equally sensitive to the same words or images. For example, if two people see a bear or hear him growl, neuronal activity chart for them will be identichn ymi.

The first collision of beams of protons recorded in the Large Hadron Collider - the largest particle accelerators, re-launched after a year of repair near Geneva. Told the European Center

"This is a stunning achievement - progress so far in such a short period of time" - said CERN Director General Rolf Hoyer's, ITAR-TASS.

U.S. physicists have found the reason for the prevalence of triangular Snowflakes in nature. Article scientists have not yet accepted for publication, but its preprint available at arxiv.org.

In terms of crystallography is the most natural form of Snowflakes, which owns the "hexagonal" symmetry. At the same time, however, the widespread nature of triangular snowflakes (various forms of Snowflakes can see here). The reasons for this until recently remained unclear.
