Flood maps

Much has been said and written about global warming, but despite this, many people still cannot fully realize the consequences of this phenomenon. Ocean acidification cruel weather cataclysms, reduced yields - and this is only a small one some of those disasters that may cause fever the atmosphere. And global warming and the melting of ice caused by it, naturally, it threatens to flood the coasts and even small islands. So that people can visualize the consequences of raising ocean level, the authors of the famous magazine National Geographic created an interactive map showing flooding coastal zones.

Thetruesize

Scientists to this day have not come to a common opinion as the most correctly display the relief of a spherical planet on a flat a sheet of paper. It's like drawing a map on a mandarin, peel off and try to flatten it into a rectangle. It is clear that areas close to the "poles" will have to stretch. We all use the Gerard Mercator projection, but it has shortcoming: the closer the islands and countries are to the poles, the more they seem. The thetruesize.com website is created so that we can better present the real size ratio on the map.

Experimental fusion reactor

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) was Launched in 2007 in the south of France, sixty kilometers from Marseille. The construction of this object was originally planned finish by 2016, but now these deadlines are shifted to 2020. Total estimate project already exceeds 15 billion euros.

Mozi

Mozi — first satellite in the world for quantum transmission information to Earth. QSS is a project of the Chinese Academy Sciences with the participation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. total cost estimated about 100 million dollars. One of the mission objectives is the implementation of quantum information transfer and installation secure communication channel between Beijing and Vienna, fully invulnerable to hackers. Satellite for four months after orbital launch, passed orbital testing. As of January 18, 2017, satellite testing is over, All systems are working properly and the satellite is transferred to the phase operating in orbit.
