What do chimpanzees hunt with wooden spears?

Chimpanzees have learned to make similar spears from branches, with the help of which they hunt small galago primates. They pluck a branch, clean it of bark and leaves, and sharpen the end with their teeth, and then stick this spear into a hollow tree trunk, where galagos often hide, and sometimes such a hunt is successful. This behavior of chimpanzees was repeatedly recorded by researchers in 2005 in Senegal, although it was not possible to take photographs of the hunt.

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 ... >>

The skin is most damaged by smoking and ultraviolet radiation. 26.02.2024

Researchers at Laval University in Canada have found that exposure to tobacco smoke combined with ultraviolet rays can significantly accelerate the aging process of skin, Scientific Reports (SR) reports.

Scientific work demonstrates the need for a conscious attitude towards factors affecting skin condition. Avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke and UV rays is key to maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

The skin aging process is a complex process that is influenced by both internal and external factors. In recent years, it has become known that exposure to various external factors can have a significant impact on the condition of the skin. However, little was known about the interaction of these factors with each other.

The purpose of the study was to study the effect of the combined action of tobacco smoke and ultraviolet rays on the skin. The study used skin substitute models that were exposed to tobacco smoke extract and simulated solar energy.

The study results showed that simultaneous exposure to cigarette smoke and ultraviolet rays leads to a decrease in procollagen synthesis and inhibition of the TGF-beta signaling pathway responsible for skin regeneration. There was also an increase in MMP-1 activity, which led to the breakdown of collagen proteins needed to maintain skin firmness and elasticity.

Additionally, an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of certain signaling pathways were identified, indicating an anti-inflammatory response of the skin to exposure to cigarette smoke and ultraviolet rays.

These results highlight the importance of avoiding the combined effects of various environmental factors on the skin, especially when reducing risk behaviors such as smoking and protecting from sun exposure.
