Which spider developed the ability to move like a wheel?

Carparachne aureoflava, a rolling spider, lives in the Namib Desert of South Africa. Its main enemy is the road wasp, which paralyzes the spider with its sting, and then lays eggs in its body. For protection, these spiders dig deep holes, however, if the wasp overtakes the spider far from the shelter, it stands on its side and rolls down the sand dune like a wheel, reaching speeds of up to 1 m / s and making up to 44 revolutions per second.

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 ... >>

Superbread for weight loss 23.02.2023

Experts from the Institute of Biological Sciences, King's College London and the Norwich Food and Health Research Center (UK) used chickpea cell meal instead of wheat flour

Many dieters avoid bread due to its high carbohydrate content. However, nutritionists have managed to develop a unique bread recipe using chickpea cell flour. Such bread tastes better than wheat bread. It makes you feel full and helps you lose weight.

During the traditional grinding of chickpeas, lentils and legumes, their fibrous structure is destroyed. But a new method of grinding chickpeas helps preserve it. Thanks to this, products based on such flour receive additional nutritional properties.

The experts decided to find out how bread regulates the feeling of fullness, and also affects the level of insulin and blood sugar. To do this, they baked three types of buns: one made from wheat flour, and in the other two, wheat flour was replaced with chickpea flour by 30% and 60%, respectively. And offered 20 volunteers aged 18 to 45 years. The muffin was served after 12 hours of fasting for three days with strawberry jam and no sugar with a glass of water.

All participants had blood samples taken before and after eating the buns. It turned out that bread with the maximum amount of chickpea flour caused a feeling of satiety more than others.

The results show that if food manufacturers used chickpea flour, people would feel less hungry. This would help to avoid overeating and reduce the risk of obesity.
