Research: Web Traffic
Don not believe the unique IP stats! Web is smaller than you think. Websites that publish unique IP numbers as a measure of popularity may exaggerate the true size of their audience by an order of magnitude or more.
Research: Code Optimization for Gravitational N-body
Teraflop in a box: SSE-optimized parallel treecode for 4-way 4x quad-core AMD "Barcelona" server (coming soon).
Research: Mars Exploration
Liquid water flowing in central Aram Chaos in Mars? I think so! If Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) CRISM instrument confirms the hypothesis the central Aram Chaos area at 21.15W, 3.27N (IAU 1994) will be the prime candidate in search for life.

Southern craters: 'black oil' oozing from crater walls is still a mystery. If you are not afraid of large files check out this 500MB mosaic of a crater at 4.67W, 64.54S. There is evidence foe perennial freezing and thawing, you can even see waterline erosion on the rocks, except that it is too cold for water and there is no basin in the 'lake'! According to MOLA the 'lake' slopes horridly and it is too cold for liquid water based on THEMIS observations.
Research: Gravity & Astrophysics
Can dark matter and dark energy actually be effects of quantum gravity? I think yes! Dark matter will remain an embarrassment until detected, a superficial construct like ether. Perhaps Lorenz was right after all: CMB dipole allows defining a preferred frame of reference and Bohmian Mechanics is more elegant than Copenhagen interpretation.

Why galaxies have warps and bars? I think rotational drag force might be to blame. Galaxies are neither flat nor planar or static.

Research: New Effects in Coherent States of Matter
Why was NASA interested in the controversial Podkletnov's experiment? Until high-temperature superconductivity is understood new physics cannot be ruled out. I believe that the the condensed (i.e. superconductivity and Bose condensates) and coherent states of matter (e.g. lasers) provide the best ground for searching for new effects in physics. This is the area where the extension of Bohmian mechanics can bear experimental fruits. That's why we keep pouring buckets of liquid nitrogen into the equipment at High-Temperature Superconductivity Lab at Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering.
Research: Multi-Channel Music Synthesis
Real-time 4-channel music synthesis on PIC18 series is not just a toy. The concept is being developed into a professional quality multi-channel synthesis and mixing solution: why spin from scratchy 12" vinyl or scrappy stereo CD when you can spin from multi-channel DVD and have your drum and bass lines mixed separately and pitch-corrected?
Research: Prognosis Tree
Public decision making / prognosis system with weighted input (coming soon).
