For experience you need:

  • adult assistant;
  • fridge;
  • Electric kettle;
  • water;
  • metal spoon;
  • saucer;
  • potholder for hot.

make it rain

1. Put a metal spoon in the refrigerator for half an hour.

2. Ask an adult to help you complete the experiment from start to finish.

3. Boil a full kettle of water. Place a saucer under the spout of the teapot.

4. Using an oven mitt, carefully bring the spoon to the steam rising from the kettle spout. Getting on a cold spoon, steam condenses and spills "rain" on a saucer.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Beam of cold atoms without laser cooling 26.01.2023

American physicists managed to obtain lithium atoms with a temperature of 10 millikelvins by cooling them in a stream of helium gas and trapping them in a magnetic trap. In terms of efficiency, their method turned out to be no worse than laser cooling, but it can be used with a large number of types of atoms and expand the area of ​​application of cold atomic beams.

It is much easier for experimental physicists to work with atoms, ions and molecules in a chilled state. Cooling down to temperatures below one kelvin minimizes the kinetic energy of the particles, making them more controllable. So they can be sharpened into traps, used for high-precision measurement experiments, such as atomic interferometry, as well as studying quantum phenomena and exotic forms of matter.

In their new experiment, physicists at the University of Texas at Austin have proposed a new way to produce continuous beams of cooled atoms.

The most used method for cooling atoms is laser cooling, which relies on the absorption of light by atoms. A properly chosen frequency below the resonant transition in the atom will cause the particle to waste its kinetic energy, slow down, and eventually cool down. However, despite the success of the method, it is not suitable for all atoms, and also imposes restrictions on some experiments with particles.

Another way to obtain cold beams of atoms and molecules is to use a buffer gas. The buffer gas cooling method works by dissipating the energy of the particles of interest through elastic collisions with cold atoms of an inert gas, such as helium or neon. Since this cooling mechanism does not depend on the internal structure of the particles (unlike laser cooling), buffer gas cooling is applicable to almost any atom or small molecule.

The beam temperature of the resulting atoms is typically in the range of one to several kelvins. Lower temperatures can be achieved using supersonic jets of inert gases, with which the particles are cooled by the adiabatic expansion of the carrier gas.

In their work, the scientists decided to combine the advantages of both methods and created a beam of lithium-7 atoms, which cooled to 10 millikelvins in a chamber with a helium-cooled expansion, releasing a supersonic jet.

In the researchers' experiment, helium-4 gas is fed at supersonic speed into a small cylindrical cell, where it is cooled to a temperature of 4,4 kelvin. A beam of lithium is directed into the helium flow, some of whose atoms are captured by the helium flow and cooled due to collisions with it. The expanded gas jet is redirected to the next vacuum chamber, and the lithium atoms are captured by a magnetic hexapole lens, which focuses them by influencing the magnetic moment. Helium atoms are not focused by a magnet and therefore continue to move in ballistic trajectories until they hit the surface.

So scientists can get the maximum flow of lithium atoms at the lowest possible temperature. The experimenters note that an improved chamber design could increase the flux tenfold, and the approach itself could be adapted to other atoms and molecules, which the scientists plan to test in future work.
