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 ... >>

Hydrogen in nanopetals 18.11.2011

A new nano-object made of magnesium and palladium is a potential storage of hydrogen. In addition to such nano-objects as tubes, balls, spirals or bars, nanopetals appeared. Their main advantage is a huge surface, which means that these objects are well suited for storing something on it - for example, hydrogen.

Similar petals were made by researchers from the Rensselaar Polytechnic Institute, led by Professor Kwo Chin Bong. Magnesium vapor was directed at an angle to the substrate, and magnesium petals were obtained hundreds of microns in size and tens of nanometers thick. Then a thin film of palladium was applied to them - this element willingly forms hydrides.

The main advantage of the new material was its ability to release hydrogen at a low temperature - when heated to only 67-100°C. Usually, metal hydride hydrogen storage devices require much more heating.

Tests showed that ten charge-discharge cycles did not significantly reduce the capacity of such storage. The reason was the oxidation of the petals. "Now we will work on the durability of the material," says Prof. Vaughn.
