What fish kill insects with their spit?

Insect-shooting fish stick their mouths out above the surface of the water and knock them down with a spit of water. Their jet can reach the victim at a height of up to three meters.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is the greenhouse effect and how does it affect the Earth's climate?

The greenhouse effect of the Earth's atmosphere consists in its transparency for the main part of the Sun's radiation (in the optical range) and the absorption of the main (infrared) part of the thermal radiation of the planet's surface heated by the Sun. The determining factor in this case is the presence of carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, which rather intensively absorbs infrared rays.

If the current concentration of carbon dioxide in the air were to double (from 0,03 to 0,06 percent by volume), it would raise the Earth's temperature by 3 degrees and lead to the rapid melting of continental glaciers.

If the content of carbon dioxide falls by half, the temperature will decrease accordingly and the glaciers will again reach the latitudes of the Crimea and New York.

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 ... >>

Google+ social network 21.08.2011

Google has finally introduced its own full-fledged social network Google+. Its concept allows users to restrict access to their information to friends, acquaintances, family members or colleagues by creating an arbitrary number of so-called circles in which coexisting contacts are placed.

At the same time, there is a function to send a message to all members of the same circle, as well as group chat and video chat. To work with Google+, an application is already available in the Android Market and App Store.
