The Russians have installed a GIANT telescope at the bottom of Lake Baikal. Why?! Kirill Shipitsin/Sputnik Every winter, physicists have been lowering glass spheres into Lake Baikal to build a neutrino telescope to find out what was happening, and where, in the Universe millions and even billions of years ago. Now, this gigantic installation has been put into operation. And its possibilities boggle the imagination! It is March. A tractor, with a huge circular blade the height of a human, is crawling along the ice of Lake Baikal. The giant cutter slices through the one-meter-t...

Feb. 12, 2021 , 11:50 AM For decades, nuclear physicists have blasted record-breaking superheavy elements into existence, extending the periodic table step by step beyond uranium, the heaviest natural element. Such heavyweights tend to be unstable, but theory predicts “magic numbers” of protons and neutrons that confer extra stability, and finding a long-lived superheavy has long been a holy grail for researchers. Element 114, known as flerovium and first created in 1998, was considered the best candidate for extra stability, as theorists believed 114 was a magic number of protons. But re...

Largest telescope in Northern hemisphere to begin operations at Baikal in March The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope is located at Lake Baikal and is designated for registration of the Cherenkov radiation, a pale fluorescence emerging in water or other transparent medium due to charged particles. In the Baikal water the Cherenkov radiation occurs due to neutrinos coming from space Lake Baikal© Kirill Shipitsin/TASS MOSCOW, February 8. /TASS/.
