Dear editors! In recent days, events in Fian are actively discussing. On that Wednesday evening, a colleague came running to me and asked: do you know what is going on in Fian?! I did not know, for I was busy with more important matters than viewing the Internet. "Searches, with machine gunners!" - the colleague said excitedly.

Oxygen is one of the most important elements on Earth. Having initially as a toxic waste of life of photosynthetic microorganisms, now free oxygen is about 20% of the atmosphere of our planet. Over the years of its existence, life on Earth has adapted to the oxygen atmosphere, and now most eukaryotic organisms use oxygen to receive energy in the process of breathing. Gregg L. Semenza, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe ( William G.

Before the current election of new members, the Russian Academy of Sciences has published a list of candidates. On the pages of the TRV-hunger, criticism was already based mainly on the compinction of texts. Writing is a serious sin, but not the only one. Let's take a closer look at those who did not write off. Ten years ago, I happened to visit the apatites and the polar-alpine Botanical Garden Institute (Pabsey) of the KNC RAS.

I quickly forgot about it, doing my business.

Quite often, experts work for free (as they say, “on a voluntary basis”), because in fact without good independent reviews, assessments, reviews, science will lose the key mechanism of self -control. The most famous example of such work is the review of scientific publications.

I knew Lysenko personally, listened to the full course of his lectures at the Timiryazev Academy in 1956, then had several long conversations with Lysenko face to face, he invited me to his graduate school, but I refused because I was moving to the physics department of Moscow State University to the new department of biophysics. During my student, graduate and subsequent years, I met several direct students of N. I. Vavilov, who often remembered their great teacher...

Dmitry Vibe One of the problems of astronomy is that the conditions typical of astronomical objects are almost impossible to reproduce in laboratory conditions. Nevertheless, advancements in these studies are: specialized laboratories are organized, installations are created, the B5 Commission “Laboratory Astrophysics” has appeared as part of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and in April 2019 the first IAU symposium on laboratory astrophysics was held.

From the history of the formation of quantum mechanics. Essay third 1 Evgeny Berkovich In 1927, an unusual situation developed in the science of micromir. Just a year and a half ago, physicists did not have the theory for calculating atomic phenomena. Now there were two such theories at once - wave and matrix mechanics. Despite the proven equivalence, they were very different in shape. The formalism of each approach was thoroughly developed.

Andrey Kalinichev It is coming to the end of 2019, and it seems to me that its close connection with the year of 1989 is more and more, when gigantic, truly tectonic shifts in world history have occurred for a very short time, which largely determined not only the further trajectory of the USSR/Russia, but also in Europe and the whole world. Among other things, they had a huge impact on the development of science in our country and in the world.
