What animals are so territorial that they can die because of the mere proximity to a relative?

Arctic shrews from the shrew family are extremely territorial mammals. In one series of experiments, two such shrews were left together in a cage, and each time after a few days one of them was found dead. However, no visible damage was found on the deceased animal.

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 ... >>

The world's oceans have become deeper by 8 centimeters 10.09.2018

An international team of scientists, after analyzing satellite data, came to the conclusion that over the past 25 years, the level of the World Ocean has risen by 7,7 cm.

The level is growing at an average rate of 3,1 mm per year and is accelerating by 0,1 mm per year. This clearly confirms that the planet is getting warmer.

The authors of the study tried to assess the contribution of various circumstances to the observed picture. According to their calculations, the thermal expansion of water still plays a leading role in the picture - 42%. The melting of sea ice, as well as the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica, account for 21%, 15% and 8%, respectively. While the role of water flow into the ocean through rivers is unclear - scientists noted that the uncertainty here is too great to draw any conclusions.

The study period was chosen based on the fact that reliable satellite data covering the entire planet have been at our disposal since 1993. Data from the TOPEX/Poseidon mission, the Argo oceanographic project, and the GRACE gravimetric satellite were used for the study.

The level of the World Ocean is considered one of the most important indicators of climate change on the planet. Others are ocean temperature and heat absorption, greenhouse gas concentrations, ocean acidity, glacier conditions, and sea ice conditions.

Seven centimeters is not much when it comes to an object of thousands of kilometers in size. But on Earth there are land areas raised above the sea by only centimeters, and there are not so few of them. First of all, the coral atolls of the Pacific Ocean come to mind, which, with a further increase in its level, can completely disappear under water. People now live on them, for them this problem is more than serious.
