(PhysOrg.com) -- Hotel guests come and go. But in the first decade of the 1900s, a pair of frequent Russian visitors to the Hotel Parisiana, near the Sorbonne on Paris' Left Bank, stood out vividly. The children of the hotel's proprietors, the Chamont family, remembered them into the 1970s as 'hardworking' and 'pious' men. The guests, Dimitri Egorov and Nikolai Luzin, were mathematicians, studying in Paris; they often prayed and went to church. http://www.physorg.com/news180030744.html Other Sciences Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:10:01 EST news180030744 "Mathematics links Art and Science in one great enterprise, the human attempt to make sense of the universe." So writes Abel Prizewinner and Fields Medalist Sir Michael F. Atiyah in the January 2010 Notices of the American Mathematical Society. The theme of the issue is creativity in mathematics. http://www.physorg.com/news179471337.html Other Sciences Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:50:01 EST news179471337 The Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) design study model demonstrates a futuristic concept for an ultra-compact and sophisticated city coupe, American Honda Motor announced at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. http://www.physorg.com/news179081899.html Technology Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:10:01 EST news179081899 Futuristic concept cars, plug-in hybrids, zero-emission electric vehicles and even a hydrogen-powered scooter jostled for the limelight as the Tokyo Motor Show kicked off on Wednesday. http://www.physorg.com/news175340034.html Technology Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:00:02 EST news175340034 Move over hybrids -- the biggest buzz at this year's Tokyo Motor Show looks set to come from electric cars as the dream of affordable zero-emission vehicles moves closer to reality. http://www.physorg.com/news175141608.html Technology Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:28:24 EST news175141608 Nissan unveiled Thursday a futuristic concept car that tilts to the side when going around bends to make drivers feel like they are gliding through the air. http://www.physorg.com/news174198610.html Technology Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:30:45 EST news174198610 Toyota unveiled Tuesday a new lightweight, sporty concept car inspired by an iconic coupe from the 1980s, saying its vision of the future was both mean and green. http://www.physorg.com/news174050888.html Technology Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:28:52 EST news174050888 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new study has demonstrated what we must have known all along at some level: that there is a link between the physical act of carrying heavy objects and the abstract concept of importance. http://www.physorg.com/news170592789.html Medicine & Health Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:53:58 EST news170592789 (PhysOrg.com) -- Finding the best way to pack the greatest quantity of a specifically shaped object into a confined space may sound simple, yet it consistently has led to deep mathematical concepts and practical applications, such as improved computer security codes. http://www.physorg.com/news169301990.html Other Sciences Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:20:49 EST news169301990 Finnish engineering company Metso's unit Valmet Automotive and utility Fortum said Thursday they will jointly develop an electric concept car to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. http://www.physorg.com/news168777930.html Technology Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:10:06 EST news168777930 Wouldn't it be useful to have a gadget that immediately warned you when the information you just saw on the Internet or heard from a buddy might be baloney? http://www.physorg.com/news165689170.html Technology Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:46:53 EST news165689170 (PhysOrg.com) -- Lee Smolin, author of the bestselling science book The Trouble with Physics and a founding member and research physicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, writes exclusively in the June issue of Physics World explaining why theories of cosmology that suggest that our universe is just one of many - the so-called multiverse - and thus perpetuate the notion that time does not exist are flawed. http://www.physorg.com/news163328877.html Physics Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:08:34 EST news163328877 By combining the trusty old book, pen and paper with the possibilities offered by the computer and the interactive whiteboard, ICT can help to improve students` understanding in maths education.

A new concept called an "inlet outlet" could allow homeowners to put power from kinetic household activities - such as exercise equipment - back into the grid through a wall socket, helping to lower electricity bills. Basically, the inlet outlet would be the opposite of a typical wall outlet. http://www.physorg.com/news155231498.html Technology Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:52:07 EST news155231498 (PhysOrg.com) -- First responders could boost their radio communications quickly at a disaster site by setting out just four extra transmitters in a random arrangement to significantly increase the signal power at the receiver, according to theoretical analyses, simulations and proof-of-concept experiments performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. http://www.physorg.com/news154769323.html Physics Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:29:31 EST news154769323 Self-concept may be defined as the totality of perceptions that each person has of themselves, and this self identity plays an important role in the psychological functioning of everyone.
