What vegetables have fractal inflorescences?

Romanesco cabbage inflorescences are fractals. The buds of the plant are described by a logarithmic spiral and consist of smaller buds, also twisted in a similar way. This self-similar structure is repeated several times.

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 ... >>

Insensitivity Mutation 16.01.2018

Molecular biologists from the College of London have identified a mysterious genetic mutation that reduces pain to nothing, allowing the owner of this rare anomaly to endure physical discomfort. The gene variant identified by scientists almost guarantees its carrier the absence of pain, even with serious injuries.

“One of the families examined has inherited a rare point mutation for at least three generations. A mutation in the ZFHX2 gene ensures that they experience little or no pain from burns or fractures - such people do not even always realize that they have been injured. For example , 52-year-old Letitia broke her shoulder while skiing, but continued skiing for the rest of the day," the scientists describe their observations.

This disorder is known as congenital pain insensitivity, but the phenotype of this family is so remarkable that researchers have since named an entire subtype of the disorder "Marsili syndrome." This "blessing" can also be a curse, as the inability to pinpoint pain can mean ignoring serious injuries that may be medical emergencies. “In truth, we sometimes feel pain, that is, we have the perception of pain, but this lasts only a few seconds,” said one of the members of the Marsili family.

While it's not entirely clear exactly how the mutation works, the team suggests that it disrupts ZFHX regulation of other genes associated with pain transmission. The mutation also affects the ability to detect extreme temperatures.
