Why are we unable to outsmart the nature and reach the speed of light? How are particle accelerators connected with our daily life, and what is the difference between circular and linear installations? 

On the International Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics, we would like to share our account of the most anticipated space missions and projects

It is about time to reflect on the year and recall the most memorable events in Russian and world physics

The atomic clock that the modern satellite navigation can hardly manage without has a lot of non-obvious applications: from a search for dark matter and a drift of fundamental constants to Earth’s gravitational potential mapping. Head of the Complex Quantum Systems Optics Laboratory of P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ksenia Khabarova has told the Scientific Russia portal about the purpose of the atomic clock and its working principle

Observations and calculations show that the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, in about four billion years. What happens to galaxies during a merger? What effect will the future merger have on the Solar System?

The scientist discusses the mathematical view on the structure of our reality, the weirdness of the quantum world, and other themes in his interview with Scientific Russia
