One of the inventions of the 20th century that changed the world is television. It appeared thanks to the work of many inventors, one of which is a Russian American, the creator of wireless image transmission technology at a distance, Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin. Paradoxically, he is almost unknown in his homeland.

The plot of the 7-episode documentary cycle "Brotherhood of the Bomb" is based on the history of scientific research and searches that led to the creation of atomic and hydrogen weapons. The picture covers events from the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity by Pierre and Marie Curie, the first experiments and studies of Rutherford, Bohr, Fermi, Heisenberg, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Kapitsa, Semenov, Landau and other scientists to the testing of the Soviet hydrogen bomb on Novaya Zemlya in 1953. Who will be the first to test the "super bomb"? Who will emerge victorious in this monstrous competition? The film tells how this tacit competition went, in which, fortunately, there were neither winners nor losers, but a new brotherhood of physicists was born.

Humanity actively uses the fruits of his discoveries in the 21st century, and the name of the scientist is little known even in his native Fatherland. The film "The First Physicist of Russia" is a fascinating and vivid story about the fate of the discoverer Alexander Grigoryevich Stoletov, whose life was short and difficult, and the trace that he left in science is like the light of a shooting star, bright and long.

Forty years ago, a documentary film about Soviet cardiac surgeons was released. Perhaps, for the first time on our screen, doctors reflected on the value of human life, talked about their experiences caused by the death of a patient, about the imperfection of Soviet medicine, the lack of knowledge and responsibility of doctors. For forty years, medicine has made an incredible breakthrough, but the moral problems that plague doctors have remained the same. “You can’t get used to death” is the leitmotif of the paintings, old and new. The film was awarded as the Best Non-Fiction Film at the Russian Film Festival "Window to Europe" - 2016.

Today, scientists predict several options for the life of the universe. The first option is not the worst: the Universe as it is now has always been and will always exist. The second option: she was born, changed, and someday, sadly, she will die. Most scientists tend to the latter. The Universe was born as a result of an explosion of a small superdense clot of matter, which had great energy, which began to scatter in different directions. But how did the planets and, ultimately, life itself come from energy? Thousands of scientists are looking for the answer to this question. Peter Higgs is the most expensive scientist for the world economy. His theory of the birth of the universe has already cost taxpayers 6 million euros. And this is not the limit. The Large Hadron Collider, which is capable of confirming the Higgs theory, has not even begun to operate at full capacity. And many are sure that they will never start. They believe that nature itself rebels against this. Or God himself. But Peter Higgs is convinced that the particle of the universe he is looking for, the boson, will definitely be discovered. The key to unraveling the "mystery of the Creator" may be very close at hand.

To most of us, mathematics seems abstract, mysterious, complex, and even out of reach. And at the same time, it is the language in which the world speaks to us. Mathematics can be sensual. She has taste, she sounds and has color. It can be felt and it can be touched.

In the summer of 2007, a group of four volcanologists landed in Medvezhya Bay on Iturup Island in the Great Kuril Ridge. The purpose of the expedition is to study the Kudryavy volcano, the hottest on the planet. Volcanologists will have to live on the island for 2 months. And this part of their life will pass away from stuffy cities, from demanding civilization, from endless fuss. It is believed that 7515 years have passed since the creation of the world, but it seems that nothing has changed on Iturup since then.

Why do people need such a complex brain and how did we get it? Does a person really use only 10% of the capabilities of the brain, and is there a limit to human mental abilities? How are the brains of men and women different? How are feelings born, and can they be detected with the help of technical means? The leader of the project, the famous scientist Alexander Kaplan, with the help of experiments and illustrative examples, will give answers to the most popular questions regarding the work and structure of the brain.

A young theoretical physicist Konstantin is engaged in the study of quantum effects and teaches at the institute. In the summer, he and his students go to the sea, to the institute's recreation center. Every day, Konstantin teaches physics classes for a group of debtor students, and every evening, as a counselor, he keeps order in the buildings. That is, it prevents students from having fun. Students are skeptical about Konstantin and try to evade classes at the first opportunity. They are not interested in physics, but in summer, girls and their own youth. Kostya is "in antiphase" in relation to all the inhabitants of the summer camp. Perceiving the surrounding reality through the prism of physics, Kostya opposes the classical world to the quantum one, that is, the world of ordinary people to the ideal, subtle, complex world. The "quantum man" Konstantin is trying to convey something to people from the "classical world", to establish contact with them, but they do not understand him, and cannot understand him.
