What is a tan?

People often expose their skin to sunlight to "tan". But few people realize that sunlight has a very significant effect on the skin. The most significant of these effects is sunburn, or reddening of the skin. This is caused by ultraviolet radiation, which converts histidine, a substance found in the skin, into another substance that dilates blood vessels.

This is what causes reddening of the skin. There is another substance in the skin - tyrazine. UV light converts tyrazine into a brown pigment called melanin. Melanin is then deposited in the outer layers of the skin to protect it from further exposure to light rays, and this is what we call sunburn. Sunlight also has a positive effect on the body. It destroys fungi and bacteria that may be on the skin. Sunlight also causes the appearance of a substance in the skin that constricts blood vessels, which leads to an increase in blood pressure.

Exposure to sunlight can also activate certain cells in the body that resist infections. Even the muscles of the body are toned with the help of sunlight. And the nervous system is also stimulated. In addition, the body receives vitamin D because ultraviolet light produces chemical changes that lead to the formation of this vitamin.

Since we have found out that sunlight does so many useful things, does this mean that a person should strive to sunbathe as much as possible? The answer to this question is this: since sunlight acts like a medicine on the body, care must be taken to get a moderate amount of this medicine.

If you are going to tan, then you need to do it gradually: a few minutes during the first day, five minutes more the next day, and so on. If you spend too much time in the sun, it can harm both the skin and the entire body.

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 ... >>

Razer Ripsaw HD Video Streaming Device 12.04.2019

Razer has unveiled an updated version of its proprietary Ripsaw HD board, designed for video recording of gaming sessions for popular platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. The novelty is a direct competitor to the entry-level model Elgato HD60 S.

Like the original Ripsaw HD, released in 2016, the updated model is designed to provide the easiest and most convenient way to organize video streaming. The new Ripsaw HD model retains all the necessary elements for this, including separate audio input and microphone input for overlaying audio and comments on the video stream.

Setup is just as easy: Connect Ripsaw HD to your Windows PC or game console using complementary HDMI cables and you can start streaming over USB 3.0 without compression and with virtually zero latency. In the new version of Ripsaw HD, the cable with USB Type-B and USB 3.0 Type-A connectors has been replaced with a more modern one with USB-C and USB-A 3.0 connectors. Alas, sending a captured video stream is still possible only on a PC; support for external drives like AVerMedia 2 Plus has not been delivered this time.

The main innovation and advantage of the new version of Ripsaw HD over the competing model Elgato HD60 S is the increase in the maximum supported resolution from 1080p to 4K. To stream gameplay in 4K resolution, all other equipment, such as the Elgato 4K60 Pro card, will have to be turned off.

The price of the novelty is $160.
