What is the share of land plants in the production of oxygen on our planet?

Terrestrial trees and plants produce only half of the oxygen in our planet's atmosphere. The other half, according to rough estimates of scientists, produce algae capable of photosynthesis - phytoplankton, distributed throughout the world's oceans.

Why are there no seasons on Mercury?

The axis of Mercury's own rotation is almost perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, and therefore there are no seasons on it in the sense that we put into this concept on Earth.

The sun's rays fall on the polar regions of the planet almost horizontally, and eternal winter reigns in them (there is no complete darkness at the poles only because the Sun is much larger than Mercury).

The results of research on Mercury suggest that there are glaciers at the poles of this planet closest to our hot star (the glacial layer can reach two meters and is covered with a layer of dust).

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 allure of pizza 29.08.2020

Scientists from the University of Michigan conducted a study according to which pizza actually causes a kind of addiction.

Pizza ingredients are the best combination of fats, carbohydrates and salt - this is what the body is looking for and which activates the brain circuit responsible for reward. Among the other ingredients of one of the most popular dishes in the world is the milk protein casein. During digestion, it releases caseomorphins, which act on the receptors for dopamine, the hormone of pleasure and reward, and increase its production.

In addition to these purely chemical processes, scientists also talk about the psychological aspects that attract people to pizza. Its aroma and colors also evoke pleasant experiences, and the process of eating it is often associated with an equally pleasant stay in the company of friends.

As a result, pizza, according to the researchers, is in the first place among addictive foods - as if it were a grocery drug. According to this indicator, it bypasses products such as chocolate, chips, ice cream and cookies.
