Latest news of science and technology, new electronics:

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 ... >>

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Neural efficiency as a characteristic of the level of intelligence 16.08.2015 The phrase "Smart people think better" seems like a tautology - they are smart because they think better. But what do we mean by "think better"? Probably the fact that the brain works more efficiently. Indeed, the connection between the effective operation of neural circuits and the level of intelligence seems to be taken for granted, and most psychologists and neuroscientists have long operated on the hypothesis of neural efficiency, but only as a hypothesis. There was no experimental evidence here; one had to be content with speculative self-evidence. Evidence, however, was obtained by researchers from the ETH Zurich. At some point, they noticed that the electrical activity of the brain in people with slightly above average intelligence is different from the brain activity in people with high intelligence. These differences manifested themselves during the performance of tasks aimed at the active use of working memory. Working memory, or working memory (not to be confused with short-term memory), stores small pieces of information necessary for momentary mental activity, for example, to solve a logical problem or comprehend complex information. It depends on how well we separate the necessary from the unnecessary in a constant stream of information, or, for example, how well we feel the changes in the situation. The frontal lobes of the cortex play an active role in solving such problems. The experiment consisted in the fact that a group of students was offered a set of cognitive tasks of varying degrees of complexity: for example, they were shown a certain set of pictures that they had to remember if possible, and then they were shown a second set of pictures, and now in a limited time it was necessary to determine which of the the second set was in the first. All participants in the experiment were divided into two groups according to the results of a conventional IQ test; all brain activity was recorded using an electroencephalograph (the researchers argue that the EEG method is quite suitable for assessing the average differences in brain activity in different groups of people.). In an article in the journal Intelligence, the authors write that when performing the easiest and most difficult tasks, the brains of moderately smart students and especially smart students worked about the same. However, the difference was clearly visible on tasks of moderate difficulty. And the point in this case is not that some people coped with them, while others did not - both groups coped with the tests in the same way - but this required different resources for different people. For those with an IQ above average, a moderately difficult task was solved with more economical effort, and the frontal lobes worked less. For those with slightly above average IQs, a task of moderate difficulty required more brain activity. In other words, smart students thought more efficiently. Let’s repeat this again: both of them solved the problem, but for some, the solution required less neural effort. Can working memory and related intelligence functions be trained? The authors of the work give a disappointing answer: even if a person with a weaker IQ trains to perform some difficult task, he will not have any advantage over an untrained competitor if they are forced to solve another difficult problem, albeit very similar to the training one. However, there is no agreement on this among neuroscientists and psychologists, and many of them believe that it is quite possible to “pump” different parts of the intellect.
