What birds are seen in prostitution?

Adélie penguins build nests for laying eggs from pebbles. When nearby couples are distracted, these penguins don't hesitate to steal their stones. And some females are engaged in prostitution for the sake of stones, although they have a permanent partner. They find solitary males who also make nests in the hope of starting a family, allow them to mate with them, and then carry one or more stones to their nest.

What scares the predators of the deep-sea mollusk hellish vampire?

Many cephalopods protect themselves from predators by releasing an ink cloud and hiding under the cover of darkness. And a deep-sea mollusk, an infernal vampire, cannot use this method, because darkness already reigns in its depths. Instead, it releases a sticky cloud of bioluminescent slime from the tips of its tentacles, containing many blue glowing balls. The light curtain stuns the predator and allows the infernal vampire to escape.

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, ... >>

Robots will build a giant telescope on the moon 08.04.2020

NASA scientists have proposed building a gigantic radio telescope one kilometer in diameter inside a crater on the far side of the Moon.

According to the idea, robotic lunar rovers will stretch a wire mesh in the crater, their own diameter is larger than the diameter of the telescope and can reach five kilometers. An overhead receiver will be installed in the center. The whole process can be automated and does not require the participation of human operators.

The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) could be used to observe radio waves that cannot be detected from the earth's surface due to interference from the ionosphere and numerous sources of radio noise. If NASA's plans become a reality, the LCRT will be the largest filled aperture antenna in the solar system. Such an antenna is a concave dish that focuses the signal from the observed object on the receiver.

LCRT would cover a wavelength range of 10-50 meters (6-30 megahertz frequency band), which has not yet been used for observations. This would make it possible to make the latest scientific discoveries in the field of cosmology of the early Universe.
