A közelmúltban az Orosz Védelmi Minisztérium egy rövid közleményben tájékoztatta a világot, hogy az örök fagy birodalma, a tundra olvadóban van. Ennek kapcsán a bejelentő beismert néhány „sajnálatos” problémát is.

We present a measurement of the muon neutrino–nucleon inclusive charged current cross section, off an isoscalar target, in the neutrino energy range 2.5⩽Ev ⩽ 40GeV. The significance of this measurement is its precision, ±4% in 2.5⩽Ev ⩽ 10GeV, and ± 2.6% in 10⩽Ev ⩽ 40GeV regions, where significant uncertainties in previous experiments still exist, and its importance to the current and proposed long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

Energy is the lifeblood of civilization, but inexpensive, high energy density sources are rapidly being depleted and their exploitation is severely degrading the environment. This paper explores a radical solution to this energy-environmental dilemma. In the last 10–15 years, the universality of the second law of thermodynamics has fallen into serious theoretical doubt [1–3].Should it prove experimentally violable, this would open the door to a nearly limitless reservoir of ubiquitous, clean, recyclable energy. If economical, it could precipitate paradigm shifts in energy production, utilization and politics. In this paper, recent challenges to the second law are reviewed, with focus given …
