What explains the special posture during the run of the famous Ethiopian stayer?

Two-time Olympic champion in 1996 and 2000 in the 10 meters Haile Gebrselassie from Ethiopia has a special posture while running. His left arm is held closer to his body than his right, and is unusually curved. The athlete explains this by the fact that as a child, he ran 000 kilometers every morning on his way to school, and in the evening the same amount back home, holding textbooks in his left hand.

What woman managed to survive three accidents on liners of the same class, including the Titanic?

Nurse Violet Jessop survived after the HMHS Britannic hit a German mine in 1916, and the lifeboat she was boarding for evacuation was pulled under a spinning propeller. Four years earlier, the same nurse had been aboard the Titanic, a ship of the same class and by the same company, and also managed to survive. And in 1911, Violet was on board the "big brother" of these two liners, the Olympic, when it collided with the Hawk cruiser, although no one was injured in that accident.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

New magnetic material for quantum computing 30.09.2023

Currently, quantum computers require extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius) to maintain particles in the desired quantum state. Overcoming this temperature barrier and creating materials that retain quantum properties at room temperature has long been a key goal in the field of quantum computing. Although low temperatures help preserve quantum properties, the design and cooling of such systems is too expensive and ineffective for widespread use.

Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso have developed a new magnetic material for quantum computing that remains magnetic at room temperature and does not require the use of expensive rare earth minerals.

This material has the property of superparamagnetism, which allows its magnetism to be controlled using an external magnetic field. The researchers use molecular magnets, including the material they synthesized, to create qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computing.

Magnets are already used in modern computers, and the next step could be quantum computers, where magnetic materials could play a key role in creating spin qubits - pairs of particles such as electrons that can be interconnected at the quantum level.

When creating this material, the researchers took into account the importance of avoiding rare earth minerals, which are often used in the technology. They experimented with different materials, including aminoferrocene and graphene, and synthesized the material by stacking layers in sequence, allowing it to remain magnetic at room temperature. This material turned out to be 100 times more magnetic than pure iron.
