10 incredible things have become a reality thanks to science

This is a case when the truth is fantastic vymysla

In the world of science is constantly amazing new discoveries are made, and as we move into the future, scientific advances are beginning to border on the magical. Science is constantly striving to do the impossible, and she manages it.

1. Teleportatsiya

Mankind has long been seeking a way to present teleportation. It would seem that science fiction, but science proves that it is possible even that. Researchers from Delft University of Technology were able to teleport information within one room and prove the theory of quantum entanglement in practice.



They isolated a pair of electrons in the two diamond distance of ten meters from each other. According to the theory of entanglement, the change should cause a spin to said second spin change too. And so it happened: a change in one of the diamond effect on the change of the other. The experiment worked in 100% of cases. Now the researchers are working on increasing the distance - if the theory is correct, then it too will sooner or later succeed. If experiments with long distances to be successful, we will soon be able to teleport information using quantum particles.

2. Tying light in uzly

The light should move in a straight line - a long time it was considered axiomatic. But scientists from the Universities of Glasgow, Bristol and Southampton first light tied into knots that previously appeared only abstract mathematical concepts. Units were created with holograms, direct the flow of light around dark areas. In this experiment the scientists inspired by the mathematical theory of knots.

One of the leading researchers requested that light - a river. Water can flow both directly and twist into a whirlpool. Holograms are created and controlled by a computer. If you have your own hologram, then tie a knot in a beam of light can and you will. This means that the optics will soon occur remarkable discoveries.

3. The self-developing obekty

It will take a little more time, and 3D-printing technology is firmly enters into everyday life. And science has focused attention on the next step: 4D-printing. Fourth Dimension - this time, which means that the next generation of printers can not simply print anything: printed objects can change and adapt themselves. Researchers have already submitted a working 4D-printer that can print filament materials that can over time to take a simple form such as a cube. Suppose it does not sound too impressive, but may change science forever.

Soon we will be able to make the car capable of reaching remote areas, such as "get" in the deep wells for maintenance. With manufactured from materials such medical machine operation will be terminated independently. Pouring tube alone "learn" to understand that crowded. The machines will be mainly robots, which just print it out and not harvested by hand. With 4D-print can create materials that will be transformed, without human intervention, as we want. The possibilities are endless.

Yes, it will take some time, but then we will be able to print larger objects that are difficult cases will even develop independently. However, considering how quickly caught on 3D-press, a long wait we do not have.

4. Artificial black dyry

In science fiction, the artificial black holes are found all the time, but put it into practice, it was not possible. Then, researchers from the Southeast University in Nanjing in China invented how to simulate a black hole in the laboratory. They have created a chart with the material to change the transmission of electromagnetic waves. It is similar to the material for creating invisibility, but the installation does not change the light as microwaves. These "meta-materials" absorb electromagnetic radiation and convert it into heat - so do black holes.



The technology could be useful, for example, for the production of energy. Science need to repeat this experiment with the light, because the wavelength of light is much less than the length of the microwaves. However, it was the first time that managed to create a black hole and keep it under control, so it's only a matter of time when black holes also become part of everyday life.

5. Stop sveta

Einstein was the first to understand that nothing can travel faster than light. But he did not say anything about how to slow light. Scientists at Harvard University have been able to slow light to 20 kilometers per hour. It was not enough, and they went on: light is completely stopped.

Scientists used Freezing material known as "Bose-Einstein condensate." Condensation occurs at temperatures in the billionth of a degree warmer than absolute zero, the atoms so much less energy to move. Keep in mind that the absolute zero - an abstract concept, it is impossible to achieve: the condensate formed in the most close to absolute zero temperature, we were able to achieve.

Light managed to stop completely. Beacon of Light even left a hologram in the place where the movement stopped. She looked like a stable substance and not moving wave, both in normal conditions. Stop light particles could be put on the shelf, even if she was not so little, because it is more constant. Now scientists are working on how to reverse the process.

6. Production of antimatter in laboratorii

Maybe antimatter - the solution to all our energy problems. But despite all efforts, scientists have not been able to find the antimatter in the universe, at least in vivo. But were able to successfully create and store antimatter in the lab. Group of super-scientists from different countries under the name of "ALPHA" has opened the way for a split second to save the antimatter.

The process took about ten years. But before the idea to create antimatter it seemed impossible, because everything in our world is made of matter and antimatter is destroyed once comes in contact with it. Now, scientists from CERN have found a way to keep the antimatter a little longer in a strong magnetic field. However, the problem is that the field does not interfere with the measurements and gives the right to study antimatter. But we have to work on it: perhaps it is antimatter reactors will be our salvation when the reserves run out of fossil fuels.

7. Telepatiya

Science has found a way to connect the human brain to the brain of rats and control the movements of its tail at a distance. It is - quite a feat, but it did not end at that. In an experiment conducted by scientists at Duke University and the International Institute of Neuroscience in Natal, Brazil, two rats were able to communicate telepathically, being thousands of kilometers apart. So, in the near future, this technology will be able to use people.



Rats are connected via brain implants. One rat was able to select one of the two arms, depending on the color light bulb includes a cage. Another rat bulb could not see exactly, but press the right lever under the influence of electrical impulses from the brain of another rat.

Scientists believe that the experiment can be repeated with the people and we will be able to interpret the signals much more effective in rats. To achieve human telepathy is now not too complicated: others can even be transmitted komnedy on such senses as sight or touch.

8. The movement quickly sveta

For a long time it was thought that the speed of light in our Universe can not be exceeded, but scientists from the Research Institute in Princeton, USA, is denied. They missed the laser beams through the camera with a specially prepared gas and detected time. The laser beam is moved to 300 times faster than the speed of light. Incredibly, the beam came out of the chamber before entered her.

You say this is violates Einstein proposed laws of cause and effect - it is as if the TV is turned on before you click the button on the remote. But, as the researchers explain, is technically not violated the law, as the beam is in the future, has no opportunity to influence the conditions of the past. So, Einstein was right. The experiment proved that the speed of light can be overcome and the effect can precede cause.

9. Hiding objects from the vremeni

Science already knows how to make a person or objects invisible. Now scientists have made the next step and figure out how to hide objects from the time. Researchers from Cornell University created a device that can split the light beam into two components, transport them through the space and then connected at the other end by means of a temporary lens. This is left no record of what happened shaded beam in the meantime. The lens of the beam slows down the fast and slow speeds, creating a temporary vacuum in the transmission that hides events in time.

Under normal circumstances, we would have a wave interference, but this device transmits everything that happens on the way to the light and hides it from the time. So far, the event may conceal a very, very long, but sooner or later the scientists figure out how to achieve the same effect for a longer period. Temporary masking bring huge benefits. In particular, this effect can be used for secure data transmission.

10. The objects do two things odnovremenno

Previously, there was a huge number of theories about how particles at the quantum level do the impossible, but for sure knew nothing. Then, scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara have created a real quantum machine, so we were able to observe this effect in the real world. They cooled a tiny piece of metal to a very low temperature, which is only possible for him, that is, brought him to the so-called principal quantum state. Then they transformed it into a quantum chain and pulled it as a string. And I noticed that a piece of metal at the same time moved, and remained motionless. Prior to experiment, this was possible only in theory.

That does not sound too impressive, but for understanding, imagine that a man resting at home and at the same time conquers mountains in Europe. Man doing two things at once. The discovery has enormous implications for science, because quantum mechanics can fulfill our wildest dreams. The magazine "Science" called it the most important scientific achievement of 2010. Some scientists even saw it as proof of the multiverse. It is important to understand whether we can repeat the experiment on larger objects. However, the discovery shows that quantum mechanics works, and dwell in two places at once, and to "jump" between universes for pleasure will be possible in the not too distant future.
