• The Art of Making Molecules. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 in Five Simple Points

  …oot. But when interacting with a substrate, only a small part of the catalyst takes part in the reaction – its active center. This is what motivated List to experiment with L-proline (the active center of aldolase) and MacMillan – with cyclic secondary amine. Back in the 2000s, the two researchers, independently of each other, proved that it’s possible to conduct ste…

• ITMO Researchers Increase Productivity Using Smart Lighting

  … nighttime, you might end up with anxiety, as well as bad coordination and reaction speed. Based on the advances in this field, special smart lighting systems that help control the volume and temperature of light in the room have been invented. Such dynamic and flexible programs change the lighting from cold and bright in the morning to warm and soft in the evenin…

  …s the major driving force for me. What is industry 4.0? It is a term that is used to describe an industrial setup where everything is automated and every activity is controlled by computer algorithms without the need for human intervention. Industry 4.0 makes use of industrial and collaborative robots. Some other of its emerging technologies are the Internet of…

  …s split the $1.19 million award. One half of it was awarded to climate physicists Syukuro Manabe (Princeton University, USA) and Klaus Hasselmann (Max Planck Institute of Meteorology, Germany) "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming." The other half of the award went to theoretical physicist Giorg…

• Torzhok: A Hidden Russian City

  …ok directly from St. Petersburg (which is available once in three days).  Travel notes Frankly speaking, I didn’t plan my trip thoroughly: I deliberately wanted to stroll around aimlessly, catching the vibe of a small peaceful town and trying to come across views that would match the pictures I’d seen from the last century. In my defense, it was Monday, so …

  …logy is commonly used to produce solar panels. A little over ten years ago, the architecture of the Grätzel cells was drastically improved by replacing the dye and electrolyte with halide perovskite. As a result, the solar cells gained an efficiency of 25%, thus raising themselves up to the level of silicon batteries, which are now available on an industrial s…
