• Engineers Teach Self-Driving Cars Think

  …y use cameras that can recognize road markings and other navigation signs. As of now, this method is developed by only several labs in the world. One of them is MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. Its engineers created Duckietown, a robotics class with "a fleet of 50 duckie-adorned self-driving taxis that can navigate the roads." Ilya Vasin, on…

• From dry Statistics to Reality: the Experts Explain How Numbers Reflect the State of Russian Science

  …How much money do the government and business spend on science? In 2015, Russia invested 914,7 billion rub in R&D at the accession rate of 0.2% a year. This makes Russia 9th in the world according to the statistics. Yet, 914,7 billion equals to only 1.13% percent to GDP, which places Russia 34thamong other countries, where the Republic of Korea (4.29%), Israel (4.11…

• "Come Out and Solve!" - The First All-Russian Test in Technical Sciences

  …The fact that many adults did not hesitate to come to the test is commendable as it is, so we didn't want to give really difficult tasks. We planned "Come Out and Solve!" as a science-popular event, where anyone could check his or her skills, not some intense contest. That is why the tasks were really versatile, and could be solved by using different mathematical and…

• Female Scientists on Their Work, Inspiration and the Magic of Science

  …ute "Photonics and Optical Information Technology" When I was a child, I dreamt of doing things that are not really possible. I was always interested in everything new that scientists invented, and not just that — I always wanted to try researching something myself. There were even times when it got out of hand — once, when I was 10, I was measuring my temperature…
