What determines the strength of hugging koalas with trees?

In hot weather, koalas hug the trees they live on more often and more strongly, and prefer to spend time on the lower part of the trunk. Having spread as much as possible along the eucalyptus trunk, koalas are saved from overheating, since the surface temperature of the tree is always several degrees lower than the air temperature. In winter, on the contrary, koalas prefer to be on the tops of trees, where there are more leaves.

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 ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Astronauts go into outer space for the first time 18.10.2019

Today, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch, as part of the first-ever women's mission, went into outer space from the International Space Station to repair the ISS power equipment. The broadcast is on the NASA website.

The astronauts will be in outer space for six and a half hours. They will have to repair the element of the power supply system that provides the ISS with energy when the station is in the shadow of the Earth. They will also prepare the conditions for future missions outside the station.

This is the 221st EVA from the ISS.

The first all-female spacewalk in history was originally supposed to take place back in March. It was supposed to be carried out by Christina Koch and Ann McLane, but that time it did not work out. At the last moment, it turned out that there were no two spacesuits of the same size at the station, and McClain's partner, Christina Koch, went into space.

Meir became the 15th woman to spacewalk and the 14th woman from the United States.
