International Research Team Makes Progress in HRS Virus Study
…The HRS virus is one of the most common causes for respiratory infections in infants and is a common cause of death among the elderly. The mechanisms of its effect on the human body have not been studied thoroughly as of yet, which results in a lack of effective profilactic and theurapetic treatments. The international research team has identified the sections of ultracold molecules can retain the information stored in them, for hundreds of times longer than researchers have previously achieved in these materials. These two-atom molecul…

“Night of Light” in Gatchina
… To make the system react to each individual, the system uses motion sensors attached to ground lamps. Both the lamps and the sensors are autonomous and are placed as points of interaction. These points are spots of light on the ground; by stepping over them, a guest makes their location known to the eyes. This is how it looks to an outside observer: someone approach…
