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, ... >>

Dogs sense wrong physics 17.01.2022

Some simple physical patterns we feel intuitively from a very early age. For example, even small children know that if you drop a cup from your hands, it will fall down - and they will be very surprised if the cup suddenly starts to slowly take off.

Intuitive ideas about the physics of the world around us are not only in humans, but, for example, in chimpanzees and dogs. The study was conducted by employees of the University of Vienna. They chose fourteen dogs, who were first taught to sit in one position with their heads resting on a special pillow. In this position, it was convenient to follow the pupils of the dogs, which testified to their emotions.

Then a screen was placed in front of the dogs, and a video was shown on the screen: two balls rolling towards each other. The balls collided, and then one stopped, and the second rolled back - all in accordance with ordinary mechanics. After the dogs had seen enough of the colliding marbles, they were shown a second video in which the first marble stopped before it met the second, and the second, without any collision, suddenly began to roll back. The dogs were surprised: firstly, they looked at the wrong balls longer than usual, and secondly, their pupils dilated. Both a long gaze and dilated pupils are considered signs of surprise. The same signs are used, for example, when studying the psychology of young children who cannot yet speak, or adults, when they want to know some kind of unconscious reactions (and how these reactions differ from what people say).

Scientists have found that dogs are able to distinguish correct physics from incorrect. By the way, relatively recently - last year - something similar was told about cats who were embarrassed that the same voice was almost simultaneously heard from different corners of the room, as if the owner of the voice could teleport. Seals, as the authors of that work claimed, did not believe in teleportation.
