In what mammals is homosexuality often prevalent over heterosexuality?

Observations of herds of giraffes have shown that males of these animals mate with other males at an extremely high frequency. In many groups, there are even more homosexual contacts than heterosexual ones.

Where do vampires live?

In South America. These bats come out to hunt at dusk. They attack mammals, including humans. Vampires move almost silently, the victim does not notice their bite, and they have time to drink blood. By biting, animals inject a substance into the blood that prevents it from clotting.

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, ... >>

Wi-Fi will double in speed 13.06.2015

Scientists from the University of Bristol (UK) have developed a technology that allows a radio transmitter to carry out two-way data transmission on the same frequency.

Reception and transmission of data within the same frequency became possible due to the artificial maintenance of electrical balance at the connecting points of antennas located on the same chip. This provides a reduction in the level of interference from the receiving and transmitting circuits.

According to the British, with this method, interference is suppressed so effectively that the same frequency range can be used for full-fledged two-way data transmission without loss of communication quality.

Thus, the use of full-duplex two-way communication technology will approximately double the Wi-Fi throughput, reduce the load on the frequencies used by providers, and relieve subscribers from restrictions associated with frequency ranges.
