  …Alien atmospheres recreated on Earth. Researchers have recreated the chemistry of atmospheres on distant planets for the first time in the lab. They found that hazes, such as the hydrocarbons that shroud Saturn's moon Titan, can be produced on a class of exoplanets known as super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. Chemical hazes and clouds can i…

• BioHack-2018: 48 Hours to Make a Difference

  …on to their task. The project required them to create a model that would be used to predict the development of a neurodegenerative disease based on the analysis of repeat genetic sequences. These repeat sequences are cause of the RAN-translation process, which produces proteins containing certain amino acid sequences. These proteins, in turn, are involved in the f…

• ITMO Scientists Study Properties of Terahertz Gauss-Bessel Beams

  …al device. What is more, terahertz radiation is non-ionizing, i.e. harmless to human health (you can read more about ionizing radiation and its effects here), and can penetrate a wide variety of media. Still, the problem is that true non-diffractive Bessel beam can not be created in practice, as generating them would require an infinitely long lens and an infi…

  …called anapole. It is very simple. Imagine a doughnut or torus. So, most of the matter in the universe may be made out of particles that possess this doughnut-shaped electromagnetic field called an anapole. Elisaveta Avdeenko, High-School Student From St. Petersburg It is common knowledge that cars pollute the air. Electric vehicles have almost solved this prob…

• Mining Hardware Helps Scientists Gain Insight into Silicon Nanoparticles

  …We demonstrated that this is not entirely true and an even distribution of plasma inside particles is not the only possible scenario.” Scientists found that the electromagnetic field caused by an interaction between light and particles has a more complex structure. This leads to a light distortion which varies with time. Therefore, the symmetry of particles is d…
