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 ... >>

Hybrid aircraft with turbojet engines and electric motors 30.11.2017

Hybrid technology has already found application in motor transport, acting as an intermediate link between cars running exclusively on hydrocarbon fuels and electric vehicles, but its potential is not exhausted by this. How about a hybrid aircraft?

Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Siemens agreed to create a prototype of such an aircraft called E-Fan X. The basis for the prototype will be the BAe 146 medium-sized jet aircraft, produced by the British company British Aerospace (part of BAE Systems since 1999) from 1983 to 2003.

The E-Fan X configuration will include, along with the usual engines, electric motors. More precisely, in the first stage, a 2 MW electric motor will replace one of the four bypass turbojet engines, and if everything goes smoothly, then another one. The first flight of the prototype is tentatively scheduled for 2020.
