A hybrid of Russian cars

Among the so many transports like bus, car, train, plane etc. car is most popular for personal use. Mikhail Prokhorov, who is the creator of ONEXIM, decided together with Yarovit Motors for the Russians to create an eco-friendly car, also make it energy efficient. This project is very relevant within the whole of Russia. Perhaps it would be a good alternative to conventional cars, and will become a very popular means of transportation.

By the end of 2010, will create several prototypes of "city car", they will be the basis for further improvements. Even scheduled starting date of production and construction of the striations of the production line. By 2012, these machines already have to go into series production. In addition to the network were presented renderings then 2 solutions for the body of this long-awaited "City Car"

The exterior design - it is something special that requires an individual approach. As they say, every man to his own taste. Nevertheless, this car really looks good thanks to the smooth lines. Also noticeable body color, which consists of two shades. Priglyanuvshiysya more closely, one can find similarities with European cars, and a lot of the Japanese. But it is certainly only a plus. In the first place because people are not always well received something new, so the experiment in this case is not recommended.

Also, this car was able to surprise his skeleton is in principle could be called something new around the Russian automotive industry. Deserves attention that 70-horsepower electric motor gets its power from lithium - ion batteries. Obbem DIC is 0,6 liters. His chip and that he is able to run on both natural gas and gasoline. But the maximum speed all only about 120 km / h.
Projected to make this car completely and exclusively Russian. Over its design, the company operates Cardi, who works in Moscow. Crossover - variant was also developed by Russian offices. Will be implemented once a couple of variants of this car. Therefore, it remains only to wait to finally see the miracle of the Russian automotive industry.

New glasses

Created new multi-purpose glasses - absolutely any vision correction.
The need for bifocal lenses in the near future may disappear and are replaced by a new generation coming glasses. Already established glasses lens through which the objects are clearly visible to any person suffering from any degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Over the years, there are different processes and lenses in the eyes often lose the ability to change shape, and it is necessary to properly configure the focus on close objects. This disease is called presbyopia, or otherwise it is called presbyopia, and this situation should seek a way out, so people started working on the development of optics. Consider this situation - the person to the disease suffered from myopia, while the use of points, he will quickly be able to focus on close or distant subjects a bit. For people aged and created bifocals. The lenses of these glasses are from two lenses, which are located one on top, and the second at the bottom. Upper order to be able to focus on distant objects, and the lower order to focus on nearby objects, but there are different situations where close objects must not be regarded at the bottom and just above, or distant objects at the bottom and it needs to be raised or lowered head, which creates a big problem.

Israeli scholar from Bar-Ilan University, Zeev Zalevsky invented a technique that allows you to create a lens focuses light and well at a distance of 33 centimeters to a distance horizon. For such purposes on a normal lens creates a lattice of 25 circular structures, each has a size of two millimeters, and is 2 concentrated ring, but the exact size of the ring will be different for a particular lens, and it depends on the shape and size, but on average a few hundred microns in width and a micrometer in depth, telling Zalewski.

The rings serve as a displacement phase oscillations of light waves that pass through the lens and simultaneously cause sicken and amplifying the interference. When using a computer model Zalewski created another model that generates reinforcing channel interference, which is perpendicular to the lens of any of the 25 structures. As a result of these transformations, the light is focused axial channel, not the focal point. If the retina is in the area of the channel, then the object can always be seen in focus. In the sequel to confirm their achievements Zalewski, attached to the camera lens of your phone, and also experienced his invention at the twelve volunteers. Shortly based company Xceed Imaging, which perfected the technology. In any new invention has its pluses and minuses, it is also a plus that the person sees well, and the disadvantage is that the adventures of the world through the lens loses contrast. In turn, Spanish scientist Pablo Art from the University of Murcia said that at too high a decrease in contrast, the brain will be difficult to process information coming from the eye, but Zalewski says that those people who wear glasses are not noticed a significant change in contrast as eyes well adapted to the light of low intensity light, and it happens a few seconds. But the brain needs to get used not only to change the contrast, but also by unanimous decision, because the lenses do not move the changing angle of view and, therefore, concentrated between the image circle will be defocused. At the time of movement of the eyeball from one structure to another carved holes appear and the brain fills them and creates the effect of continuity - said Zalewski.

People learn to grow a limb

American scientists Wistar Institute discovered the mechanism that stimulates the growth of amputated limbs in humans. Helped uncover the mechanism geneticists lizards, which differ in ability to re-grow lost tails or other extremity.

Thanks to studies by geneticists revealed the presence of a particular gene p21 in the body lizards, which blocks existing in the body recovery potential. With a considerable amount of effort, scientists have managed to block the gene, and these experiments eventually produced results. Laboratory rodents were able to restore the badly damaged tissue. While normal mice delayed wound and scar, the experimental mice to form new tissue by the rapid growth of cells.

These experimental results, Professor Ellen Heber-Katu, leading the research team explained that, without a gene found in cells of the body begin to behave like stem, they have the ability to turn into any kind of tissue. According to scientists, the gene p21 in the future may be temporarily blocked and people have a period of treatment, and maybe even get off the gene directly into the wound area.

To avoid potential side effects, to reach off the gene will be using local administration of drugs. This discovery will change the lives of a significant number of people who were left without any limbs, the better.

3D printer will allow printing space objects

Three-dimensional printing - a completely new technology printing industry. With such a printing can print structures and artificial replacements for human organs. Grand stage will be to use three-dimensional printing in outer space. It remains to be the development of this technology to a high level. Today the organization Made in Space (done in space) began to attract investment needed to launch a project to create a print in the cosmos.

According to the staff of this organization, the emergence of three-dimensional space print will significantly improve and facilitate the production of components for space satellites. In addition, the emergence of space to print a few times will reduce the number of cargo flights into space. The main product, which will need to send into orbit, will be the material needed to operate the printer. The important point is that, for the manufacture of parts of the failed printer will use the materials previously sent into orbit. That is, processing of raw materials will occur. This in turn will reduce costs for new parts for the 3D printer.

Departures of people on other planets is not far off. When that moment comes, the new printers will play a role. The fact is the construction of the space base will be possible with the help of materials used in the printer. Raw materials These printers will also help in creating devices for the development of new planets.

Plans of the company Made in Space is really daunting. But, unfortunately, the company is only the first step in the development of print space. Employees have already been made several tests of new printers. Were printed out some of the details of space objects. In further promotion of the company is testing the printer is operating in complete weightlessness. Let's hope that this test will be successful. Indeed, in the case of a positive result of further testing will already take place in outer space.

U.S. forces provide little Sky net

U.S. forces have confirmed that under their supervision are carried out new developments in the perception of signals of artificial intelligence. These studies will be aimed at obtaining processing signals received from different sensors. This development will enable detection signal sources and to characterize their actions.
The growth of various kinds of sensors feeding signals is rapidly growing. Respectively, and develops information obtained from them. Such a rapid development of information requires the emergence of more and more processing devices. New technologies should be qualitatively and quickly process the information. Currently, this work can only be done people. Therefore, the aim of the Pentagon to provide a device that could completely replace the human in this area.
For this purpose, the Pentagon has developed a special program called «Deep Learning». The purpose of this program is not complete copying of human abilities to process information. Important - is to create a system that could constantly improve themselves and without much effort to process information. According to the head of this program since Pentagon have the necessary resources to build such a machine.
The result here is sort of creating a system for processing information "artificial intelligence" high. That is, the machine must handle their own information, conduct analysis and make the necessary decisions without human intervention. Naturally at the beginning of a person would need to participate in this system. Originally it was a person will be given responsibility for control over decisions taken by the computer. Although the possibility of such a system has its dangers. The fact is that if endow the system "brain", it is unknown how it will turn back to the people. After all, in fact, "smart" car could come any thoughts in her computer "head". It is worth remembering movie Terminator and disappointing picture of the power of machines at once begin to come to mind.

Robot first made man operation

The Moscow Institute of Surgery named after Vishnevsky first time in human history had surgery to remove a lobe of the liver, in which was used robotic surgical center. Most likely the operation will be the most important step in the history of medicine.

Performed robotic intervention, pre-made five small punctures in the anterior abdominal wall of the body. Since the surgery surgical dissection is not performed, the patient on the day after surgery could not even move independently. In addition, physical activity of the patient within two days after removal of the liver was restored to normal levels, as well as missing completely the need for medicines. Employees of the Institute of Surgery named after Vishnevsky watched over the health of a patient who underwent surgery using the robotic surgical complex.

In the process of observation, they found that after this surgery recovery period runs a lot easier and faster than after conventional surgery. According to doctors, after the robotic surgery is much easier and quicker recovery. "The patient was two days longer in need of medicines, besides physical activity during this period was restored to certain standards - so specified staff assistant robotic surgical complex.

Slowest cruise ship in the world has become a floating hotel

This avant-garde project represents a synthesis of the hotel on the water and infraslow cruise ship. The design of the technical achievements of thought involved in the Italian architect J. Santozuosso who has received an order from the leadership of the Greater Mumbai (Indin Navy Docks of Mumbai). Upon completion of construction activities Morphtel, this unusual hotel will go into an endless journey, only occasionally making stops near major ports to replenish food and water. And the guests of this unusual hotel is planned to bring on board a ship or aircraft.
Basic structural element of the floating hotel will be flexible "backbone", because of the properties which Morthotel can change their shape to adapt to the weather and more successful and safer fit into the shape of the coastline during the rare stops in ports. To ensure the comfort of living persons on board this floating hotel, it would appear all that equip modern and comfortable cruise ships. To provide passengers with any type of leisure and entertainment spots will be widely represented restaurants, bars, sports and movie theaters, swimming pools. Unusual cruising will remain unforgettable.
