National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created the most accurate clock in the world: they are based on an innovative method for quantum spectroscopy atom of aluminum-27. The technology allows to capture the transitions between the levels of the quantum state of an atom with a frequency 8,6-18, that is, those hours do not exceed the per-second error for at least 3.7 billion years. They are more than two times more accurate than the previous version of the most accurate clock, designed by the same group of scientists and a half years ago. The new record has an error of less than the standard second, that is, in a sense, these hours rather than time itself. One second standard SI equals 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation of an atom of cesium-137. With the advent of the new hours can be adjusted and this, and other fundamental constants. The study has a particular practical value. For example, global positioning system, the more accurate the clock on the satellite GPS, t...

This so-called supercooled water, which is used in medicine, cryogenics, etc. On the influence of the electric field at the freezing point of water has been known for over 150 years: in particular, in the electric field of the negative charge water freezes at lower temperatures. The most popular theory - is that water molecules are supposedly "change their orientation in the field, which complicates the crystallization of ice. Surprisingly, so far, this mechanism has not been fully explored. The problem is the absence of experimental data: the scientists could not manage to find the material through which you can skip the charge and who does not react with water.
