The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Biostar Accessory for Cryptocurrency Mining 22.05.2017

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have not been mined using graphics cards for a long time - such mining is unprofitable and will not even pay off the electricity spent on powering several accelerators. But there are many alternative solutions, a number of which are still profitable to mine using video cards or even central processors.

Biostar is one of the few companies that supports this group of enthusiasts by releasing boards with multiple PCIe x1 slots and additional power supply for the PCI Express power section. The new accessory is also intended for owners of crypto-farms and for those who are just planning to start mining "electronic gold".

A board called Crypto Mining Card allows you to use one PCI Express x1 slot to connect four video cards at once using special extension cables. It can turn even a modest Micro-ATX motherboard into a fairly developed cryptocurrency mining farm, since the bandwidth of the PCIe interface does not matter at all in this matter. Technically, this is a small adapter with a switch chip on board and four USB 3.0 connectors, which are not, but are connectors for extenders equipped with mechanical PCIe x16 slots. A connection error is likely to lead to disastrous consequences - failure of the card itself or a USB drive connected by mistake.

There is also a standard four-pin connector for connecting the power supply, which is necessary in this case, because the electrical part of the PCIe x1 slot will serve four accelerators at once. Contrary to expectations, the device is not universal, but only compatible with a limited list of Biostar motherboards: RACING H170GT3, GAMING H170T, Hi-Fi H170S3H, Hi-Fi B150S1, Hi-Fi B150S1 D4 and TB150 PRO. It is quite possible that it will work with other boards as well, unless Biostar places some kind of driver level limitation.

Declared support for up to eight graphics accelerators per system board; theoretically, you can try to install more, but such a bundle will only work in a Linux environment.
