What bird managed to live a year and a half without a head?

Rooster Mike lived for a year and a half after an American farmer cut off his head in 1945. The rooster has the base of the brain and one ear. When the farmer noticed that the rooster had not yet died, he decided to take care of him by injecting milk and grain directly through a pipette. Mike rose to fame after starting his demonstrations across the country, his authenticity is documented, and the rooster died only because the owner forgot food and a syringe for cleaning the esophagus at the site of the next show. Many have tried to repeat this experience, but no other chicken has lived more than two days without a head.

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 ... >>

Structure of a 1-nm carbon nanotube gate transistor proposed 09.10.2016

Developers from the University of California at Berkeley have proposed using carbon nanotubes as a gate rather than a transistor channel.

There are no critical obstacles on the way to transistors with a 5-nm gate. Anything less is questionable. At the stage of reducing technological standards to less than 5 nm, the effect of quantum tunneling begins to manifest itself, and this is an uncontrollable increase in leaks (losses). However, all this concerns traditional models of the structure of transistors based on conventional semiconductors. Therefore, transistors with a gate less than 5 nm promise to be of a different structure and using new materials.

One such material is carbon nanotubes. IBM, for example, has developed a 1,8nm carbon tube transistor model as the conductive channel of the transistor. Developers from the University of California at Berkeley took a different path and proposed using carbon nanotubes as the gate of a transistor.

A group of scientists has created an experimental transistor based on a conductive channel made of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). By the way, IBM also uses molybdenum for the control electrodes of its 1,8-nm transistor. The problem with the IBM transistor is that the ends of the nanotubes need to be welded to the control electrodes, which is technologically difficult at this stage. The "Berkeley" transistor is free from this drawback, since in its design carbon nanotubes are used as independent current conductors and serve as gates.
