Dear editors! The situation in Russian science is difficult without any crisis: people are aging, equipment is deteriorating and becoming obsolete, infrastructure is falling into disrepair. And there is no clear light yet. Where can hope come from? It’s clear that the alpha and omega of all our achievements are the guiding inspirers of our victories, but they themselves cannot become masters of the machine, but someone must.

There is a very beautiful quantum mechanical effect - particle oscillations. Suppose there are two particles, α and β, with the same charge and identical other strictly conserved quantum numbers, but with different masses. Sometimes it turns out that each of these particles does not have a certain mass in a vacuum, but only a linear combination of their wave functions has a certain mass. But they are born either as α or as β, depending on the reaction.

In the modern world, success is achieved by those who have original, deep ideas and effective ways to bring them to life. We're having a hard time with this today.

Application Removing waste and toxins from the body. General strengthening effect, increasing immunity. Blood purification, improvement of blood circulation. Reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, normalizing blood pressure. Improved digestion and metabolism. Strengthening intestinal motility, ensuring stool regularity. Improving cell regeneration, improving the condition of the skin. Wound healing effect. Recovery after physical activity, increased performance.

In the modern world, success is achieved by those who have original, deep ideas and effective ways to bring them to life. We're having a hard time with this today. Of course, some scattered “pockets of resistance” exist, but overall the picture is bleak. This is so obvious that last year President Medvedev even noted this in his Address to the Federal Assembly: “We need to organize a large-scale and systematic search for talent both in Russia and abroad.

In the last issue of TRV, an article was published by a member of the coordinating council of the St. Petersburg Union of Scientists, deputy. Director of St. Petersburg Institute of Computer Science and Technology RAS, Ph.D. biol. Sciences Mikhail Konashev , in which he came up with the idea of ​​holding a Congress of Scientists and theses on the state of the scientific community in Russia. We are publishing responses to this pre-congress manifesto.

The current economic crisis has taught the American economy a good lesson: it has revealed that unregulated financial markets can pose a major threat to its functioning. It is time for Russia, which is also experiencing the serious impact of the crisis, to finally soberly evaluate the idea of ​​complete economic dependence on oil and gas.

The book “What is mathematics?” was written by the eminent mathematician Richard Courant in collaboration with Herbert Robbins in 1941 and has since become a classic of the world's popular mathematical literature. Richard Courant was born in 1888 in Germany. He studied at the famous University of Göttingen - the world capital of mathematics at that time - and was a direct student of Hilbert.

Discovered four years ago, graphene, the first truly two-dimensional crystal consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms, turned out to be just the first sign of a whole world of two-dimensional objects. A recently published article in the journal Science [1] demonstrated the possibility of creating new chemical compounds based on graphene.

In human society, the custom of “measuring one’s belly” is extremely persistent. And if some Pithecanthropes found nothing better than to boast about the size of their clubs and the strength of their skulls, then in a less cannibalistic era, entertainment became much more refined: cockroaches or pig races, the brand of a jeep, the length of the legs of a beautiful wife... States are sometimes just as gambling , like their individual fellow citizens.

On June 12, 2009, one of the most powerful observations of eruptions in the Kurilo-Kamchatka volcanic ridge began. After 33 years of silence, the Vulcan of the PIK Sarychev, located on the island of the Mutu, woke up the central part of the Kuril Islands (see Figure 1).

This year, the Federal Target Program “Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Personnel of Innovative Russia”, designed for 2009-2013, began operating.

It’s not easy to find people satisfied with the state of graduate school. Monitoring the situation, trends, and prospects for the development of Russian science, TRV cannot help but be interested in the situation with graduate school. Graduate school is a bridge connecting higher education and scientific activity.
