Physicist Andrew Dickerson, from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta (USA), has calculated the optimal speed at which dogs and other furry animals should shake themselves to remove water after a bath and remain completely dry.
We already know the 2010 Nobel prizes in all their categories: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and the Nobel Peace Prize (the only one that is awarded outside of Sweden, specifically in Oslo). Some of these awards have received harsh criticism, such as the Nobel Prize in Medicine by the Church or the Nobel Peace Prize by the Chinese government. Do you want to know who the winners have been?
The 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics went to Russian scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for their pioneering work on the development of graphene, a two-dimensional material that could replace silicon to build future ultra-fast computers.
Scientists have known for decades that time passes faster in a rocket than at ground level, a curious aspect of the theory of relativity. Now, a team of physicists has shown that this effect causes us to age faster when we climb a ladder.
Scientists from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed for the first time in proton-proton collisions an unexpected correlation in events where large numbers of particles are produced. This phenomenon was not foreseen.
The European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) yesterday presented the first results of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Paris (ICHEP 2010). Among the accelerator's achievements are the first observational evidences of the "top" quark, one of the fundamental constituents of matter.
The defense and security technology company BAE Systems, based in Bristol (England), has created a type of liquid armor capable of protecting against bullet impacts that could be used to make bulletproof vests that are lighter than the current ones.
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have developed a way to convert the collision of subatomic particles into sound, as the ears are better adapted than the eyes to detect the subtle changes that could indicate the presence of a new particle. . The first tests reveal a surprising musicality in the collisions.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
