Apple Inc. столкнется со снижением продаж iPhone в 2023 году и впервые за четыре года уступит по динамике в этом сегменте конкурентам, пишет Интерфакс-Казахстан со ссылкой на прогнозы аналитиков UBS. Эксперты ожидают, что продажи iPhone в этом году уменьшатся на 0,7%, до 229 млн единиц. В то же время продажи смартфонов на основе операционной системы Android, по их оценкам, вырастут на 3,2%. «Впервые с 2019 года динамика продаж смартфонов Apple будет хуже по сравнению с конкурентами», - говорится в обзоре UBS, который цитирует Barron's. Такой прогноз эксперты объясняют тем, что главным двигателем...

In this article we will discuss how safe cars are now? Why not make the car even more durable, and what did the engineers work on to prevent the deplorable consequences of an accident? A liter of gasoline contains about 56 megajoules of chemical energy. This is more than the explosion of the same amount of TNT. And this energy would be enough for a whole day of toaster operation. The machines work by burning gasoline, which converts chemical energy into kinetic energy, contributing to the movement of the machine...

Is it possible to touch the antiquity? Not to the works of ancient sculptors and builders, but to the epochs that have long been in the past? Living in the modern world, we rarely think about how long man has inhabited the Earth. It all started millions of years ago, when the first hominids stood on their hind legs and learned how to create primitive tools. The modern era with writing, cities and states is just a moment compared to the times when a few tribes of our ancestors migrated across the continents...

On a dark moonless night, the illumination can be thousands of times lower than in the daytime. But while we sleep in our beds, most living beings begin the active phase of the day. How do they manage to navigate in complete darkness? As an example, let's take nocturnal insects — the size of their visual organs often does not exceed a match head, but they perfectly navigate the terrain in dim light, deftly avoid obstacles and detect even weak movements around.  Imagine that you find yourself at night...

In 1820, after a two-year journey on the sloops Mirny and Vostochny, members of the Lazarev and Bellingshausen team saw the shores of an unknown continent.  The world is full of unsolved mysteries. Despite the technological progress, the massive work of scientific researchers and futurists, Antarctica is still saturated with the mysteries of nature. It seems that there are many secrets hidden in the cover of ice. After global warming, the relief of the continent began to collapse. Researchers found artifacts, thanks to which the "wall of secrets" became thinner and thinner...
