What amphibians can hear with their lungs?

Panamanian golden frogs lack an outer and middle ear. However, they are able to distinguish and identify sounds. The primary perception of sound waves occurs in these frogs in the lungs. True, scientists have not yet figured out how sound from the lungs reaches the inner ear.

How many times larger is a standard Japanese keyboard than a European one?

In Japanese, in addition to the kanji hieroglyphic script borrowed from China, there are also two syllabary alphabets - hiragana and katakana - in which one character corresponds not to a word, but to a separate syllable. Traditionally, they are used to write words for which there are no kanji: katakana for borrowed terms from European languages, and hiragana for individual Japanese particles and suffixes, or when the reader may not know some kanji. It is 47 hiragana characters that are located on the keyboards, so Japanese keyboards are no different from what we are used to. In addition, special software can track character input and automatically suggest replacing several characters with the corresponding character.

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 strongest glue 27.01.2022

American researchers have created the strongest adhesive that can be used in the aerospace, automotive and construction industries.

Scientists have studied the chemical structure of ordinary plastic and turned it into a reusable adhesive with unique properties. As a starting point in the production of the substance, experts used polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-polystyrene (an important thermoplastic elastomer that behaves like rubber without being cured).

The source for the manufacture of the most durable adhesive was a rubber-like polymer, which is used in toothbrushes, car steering wheel braid. But the glue was endowed with amazing and powerful properties by changing the chemical structure.

The result was achieved through a process known as dynamic crosslinking, which allows normally incompatible materials to be joined.

Scientists noted that a few drops of the created substance can hold about 136 kilograms of cargo on weight, and the new glue does not lose its properties at temperatures up to 204 degrees Celsius.
