In simple terms: the Higgs boson - what is it?

The Higgs boson is the most expensive particle of all time. If, for example, a vacuum tube and a couple of brilliant minds were enough to discover the electron, the search for the Higgs boson required the creation of experimental energies that are rarely seen on planet Earth.

The magnetic field of Venus: information about the planet, description and features

One of the hallmarks of Venus is the special nature of its magnetic field. To the question of whether Venus has a magnetic field, there is the following answer: the planet has practically no own field, but due to the interaction of the solar wind with the atmosphere, an induced field arises.

Observation - what is it? Observation types

What is observation? This is a research method that is used in psychology for an organized and purposeful perception and study of an object. It is used where the intervention of the observer can disrupt the process of interaction of the individual with the environment.

Sensitive neurons of the spinal cord

Our spinal cord is the most ancient formation of the nervous system in evolutionary terms. Appearing for the first time in the lancelet, in the process of evolution, the spinal cord with its efferent (motor) and afferent (sensory) neurons improved. But at the same time, it retained its main functions - conductive and regulatory. It is thanks to the sensory neurons of the spinal cord that we withdraw our hand from a hot pot even before the pain appears. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
