Obtaining a bacterial composite. Rice. From the article [ 1 ] Arkady Kuramshin The international group of researchers has developed a relatively inexpensive and not dangerous environment for the environment to obtain an artificial mother of pearl involving bacteria [ 1 ]. This artificial mother of pearl is comparable in terms of strength with natural, has high rigidity and at the same time paradoxically resistant to deformations.

Rebekah Frumkin We were wearing from serious books with illustrations essential for understanding the text. And it’s a pity! .. With that more curiosity, I read and examined the book “The Suffering Middle Ages” (M.: AST, 2019) - a solid volume of 400 pages with the subtitle “Paradoxes of Christian iconography”.

Smart, inquisitive schoolchildren and students whose eyes burn at the sight of an exciting task, a new laboratory installation or an interesting book?

Recently, the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences made public recognition [ 1 ] in which many of us have not doubted for a long time. “ Colleagues, this is regrettable, but by the number of garbage publications, Russia is the leader in the world ,” the president said and substantiated the sad conclusion of a low share of Russian publications in the magazines of the first tenant WOS.

The network is full of messages about the “accelerated expansion of the Universe”, allegedly proven by the group of the Nobel laureate of Adam Risa on the observations of the accumulations of galaxies and supernova. First of all, clarification: accelerated expansion is a common place, it occurs within the so -called λcdm model and is associated with dark energy.

Recently, TrV-Science published a discussion about the probability of the origin of life on a suitable planet. This is a probability that can be theorized about, but cannot be measured as long as we know only one case. We need at least one more, and then we can already estimate this probability with an accuracy of an order of magnitude. Discussions on this topic have been going on for a long time, in particular, the science called “astrobiology” deals with this.

Life on Earth has existed for more than 4 billion years, and almost all this time its development went smoothly, only occasionally serious crises came - mass extinctions. As one paleontologist joked, life history consisted of long periods of boredom, which from time to time interrupted by panic. The causes of crises were different - climate jumps, asteroid strikes. Poprazing Leo Tolstoy, we can say that every extinction was unhappy and disastrous in its own way.

From a letter from a professional Recently, a discussion was published in the Trv-Feast about the likelihood of living life on a suitable planet . This is the same probability that can be theoretical about, but which cannot be measured, as long as we know only one case. At least one more, and then you can already evaluate this probability with an accuracy to an order of magnitude.

Dear editors! The sun is shining, the columns of the working people march through the streets and squares of our Motherland, my mood is excellent, but as a thinker, I must devote my time to comprehension of our reality even when I really do not want to think. There is one topic that has long been exciting the minds of scientist Luda - receiving money. In ancient times, some philosophers showed indifference to money, reaching the complete rejection of comfort and veneration of power.

A message about the closure for an indefinite period of the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences causes serious concern of the Scientific Council of the St. Petersburg Union of Scientists, as well as the entire Russian (and not only Russian) scientific community. The St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences is one of the oldest and largest in Russia. The documents stored in it are priceless.

Once again about the programs of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences For four months of this year, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science has been blocking funds already distributed from the programs of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the club’s speech on this topic ( 1julyclub.org/node/310 ), which was widely covered in the press, a promise was made about a speedy solution to the problem, reflected in a TASS report ( tass.ru/nauka/6264213 ).

Samorestice on the video YouTube.com/watch?v=wu__lpbkljc In August last year, ten years of the working regime of the space gamma-volume of Fermi were turned out. Two articles in the TRV-FUND 1 were devoted to this anniversary. Now I’m publishing a third note after, since there was an occasion - visualization of ten -year data. At one time, I made a slide in a presentation about black holes, where a file in MPEG format was used-a gamma-quanta arrived in a piece of heaven.
