  …ogical location filled with magical objects that help heroes fight evil. For example, the oak-tree where Koschei’s death is hidden as described in Pushkin’s The Tale of Tsar Saltan grows there. Buyan is also important for the mythological worldview of ancient Slavs: Alatyr, a sacred stone, “a mighty force that has no end”, and the axis mundi, is placed on Byan. All w…

  …one. But, in fact, it is a long process of gaining expertise in the problems of your consumers, technological solutions, and project management. Moreover, it is crucial to simultaneously develop in all three fields.  Even if you manage to grow to a billion dollars without figuring out the demand and the technology, your startup is doomed. It is worth remembering T…

  …se separate fluorophores for each pathogen, as it happens, for example, during real-time PCRs (Polymerase Chain Reactions)– otherwise, we wouldn’t have enough channels for simultaneous analysis. If the sample becomes brown as a result of the reaction, the photosensor reacts to this. The system basically replaces a lab assistant: it moves the samples, mixes them, a…

  …ht emission – they are called dark excitons. It’s hard to study them, especially because it’s hard to get a cloud of dark excitons: both types of quasiparticles are “born” simultaneously. However, the discovered phenomenon affects them differently. “As it turns out, you can efficiently separate bright excitons from dark ones. If you produce a cloud composed of b…

  …gines won’t start because of the cold. Gather a group of enthusiasts (one local included who will guide you not to get lost) to try forest skiing – a unique opportunity to simultaneously get in shape and behold the beauty of quiet snowy landscapes. I’d also recommend making your favorite tea to warm up when you take a break. You can also go alpine skiing at pretty mu…

  …tion. Not only supervisors but also soft skills professors helped our students in their projects. Thus, students had the chance to do their research on general physics and simultaneously improve their time management, team building, and other crucial soft skills. As a result, they will also earn credits in both disciplines.” According to Valeria Limonova, an…

  …e containing many particles at once. Entangling two particles is not a problem, and you can entangle three, four, or even five particles. That is, up to five particles are simultaneously in the first and second channels of the interferometer. They are, clearly, in just one of them but following the laws of quantum physics we can’t say anything definite until we perfo…
