What are the names of hybrids of lions and tigers, as well as hybrids of these hybrids?

A hybrid of a lion and a tigress is called a liger, and a hybrid of a tiger and a lioness is called a tiger lion, or in the English manner a taigon (tiger + lion = tigon). For a long time it was believed that such hybrids are sterile, but later it turned out that only males are sterile. And the females of both hybrids can mate with both lions and tigers. Their descendants even have their own names: for example, a hybrid of a lion and a female taigon, - li-tigon, others - by analogy - ti-tigon, li-liger and ti-liger.

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 ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Nanotechnology on glass 14.09.2009

A new way to prevent fogging of various glasses was proposed by Chinese physicists. They apply a layer of nanometer-sized polystyrene beads coated with silicon oxide to the glass. On such a coating, when moisture settles from the air, not small droplets form, but a continuous thin film of water that does not change the transparency of the glass.

The authors of the idea hope to bring it to commercial use in two years; the windshields of cars and mirrors for bathrooms will be processed in this way, first of all.
