What parasitic tree can cut underground telephone cables?

Nuitsia profusely flowering is a tree from Western Australia, also known as the Christmas tree due to its flowering during the Christmas season. Nuitsia almost does not have its own root system, but leads a parasitic way of life, attaching its processes of haustoria to the roots of other plants and, in this way, receiving water and minerals. The tenacity of the branches of this tree is so developed that cases of cutting underground telephone cables have been recorded more than once. This forced the Australian telephone companies to lay more expensive and protected wires in the places of growth of Nuitsia.

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 ... >>

Robot Reader 16.10.2008

The Bavarian State Library (Germany), which celebrated its 450th anniversary this year, decided to digitize all storage units. To do this, two automatic scanners, created in Austria, were installed in the basement of the library.

In order not to damage an old book (there are 20 books printed in the 80th century and 60 handwritten medieval manuscripts in the library), the robot opens it only by XNUMX degrees. A scanning head moves between the pages, immediately capturing the spread of the book. The pages are turned by a stream of air, the volume is held in a half-open position by pneumatic suction cups, so that the book does not suffer.

About 700 pages are processed per hour.
