Many research companies were assigned or they just simply wanted to design equipment that is safer and easier to use and carry, but their results were unconvincing. MIT, the University of Toronto, and the Georgia Institute of Technology developed systems based on arm movements and using accelerometers, gyroscopes, and high-tech sensors but they “don’t work […]

Astronomers want to know everything about the planets in our solar system and one of the most interesting places is Mars. If they already can map the surface, it has been very hard to get information about the underground. There is one technology that can complete this task - it’s MARSIS, EPA’s Mars Express radar […]

For many centuries many scientists or musicians tried to find connections between music and mathematics, but they didn’t find any precise proof. Now, with the help of a breakthrough that Prof Dmitri Tymoczko from the Princeton University, discovered a couple of years ago, we know that there is a strong link between them.
Alongside Clifton Callender […]
