Tourist tips

Pedometer is a device that counts the number of steps you take while walking. There are many designs of pedometers, both mechanical and electronic. A mobile phone with a pedometer was recently released.

Electronic pedometers can be carried in a pocket or on a belt; mechanical ones most often need to be attached to the leg. As you move, the pedometer sensor reads your steps and adds them up.

If you multiply the number of steps by the length of the step, you get the distance traveled. Equipped with a timer, it will also calculate the average driving speed.

The accuracy of determining the distance is ensured only on smooth sections of the path, i.e. where there are no obstacles to movement and you can move while maintaining a constant stride length. The usefulness of a pedometer is significantly reduced when you're slowly climbing a mountain, running down a slope, climbing over obstacles, getting stuck in quick sand, or trudging through the jungle.

However, the most accurate determination of the distance traveled is necessary for the traveler precisely on a flat surface devoid of distinct landmarks, that is, where the pedometer works most reliably.

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 ... >>

The sleep of babies 14.12.2022

Consultant neurologist Topun Austin of the University of Cambridge has found out why babies sleep a lot in a new study.

The researchers took a new approach for experiments - they created a special hat, where they built in light sources and sensors. This helped to measure the blood circulation in the children's brains on the principle of a pulse oximeter attached to a finger.

This method had been used before, but it required a cap with electrodes attached to it. As part of the new study, the experts used 12 tiles placed in a hat and connected to a computer with a single cable.

In the end, they got a brain image 10 times better than the fiber-optic cable system they had used before. It turned out that infants are characterized by a cyclical passage of two phases of sleep: active, when the children are mobile, and calm, when the child remains motionless.

Scientists recorded the work of the brain of newborns, and also monitored their behavior using video surveillance. Then they studied brain activity and compared it with the behavior of newborns.

It turned out that during the active phase of sleep, brain regions in the left and right hemispheres worked simultaneously and in the same way. There is a version that at this time the formation of long connections takes place in the brain. At the same time, when the resting phase of sleep sets in, shorter bonds are formed. During active sleep, the child creates a picture, and in a calm sleep, he clarifies some details.
