Intent Predictive Headphones

06.05.2021

The idea for the Enten headphones, which can read a person's intentions, was brought to life by Neurable under the direction of Dr. Ramses Alkaide. While still a student, he thought about developing technologies that could directly interact with the human brain. Initially, the techniques were interesting in the field of prosthetics. However, over time, the scientist realized that the application of technology could be much wider.

The result of the work was a lot of interesting and useful devices. Neurable has announced the pre-order of the first pair of Enten headphones with BCI technology. Their work is based on the fact that the user has only a couple of hours of daily high productivity.

The device suggests the user the best time to take a break in order to maintain high performance throughout the day. Also, the headphones have active elements to turn off notifications when the user is busy.

Unlike conventional headphones, the new ones are made of fabric to make them easier to use. In fact, the new device fully performs the functions of the usual headphones and at the same time allows the user to understand how his brain works.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

2000 atoms in two places at the same time 02.10.2019

A team of scientists from the University of Vienna and the University of Basel has tested the principle of quantum superposition on the largest scale in the history of science. Huge complex molecules, consisting of two thousand atoms, were placed in a state of superposition, while being in two places at the same time, according to the bizarre laws of quantum mechanics. This achievement is a weighty confirmation of the manifestation of superposition, which is the "heart" of all quantum technologies, which, in turn, serves as a serious limitation for the further development of many alternative theories.

We remind our readers that the principle of superposition is one of the main "pillars" of quantum mechanics, which is a consequence of one of the fundamental equations, the Schrödinger equation. This equation describes quantum particles by their wave functions, which are very similar to the functions that describe concentric waves on the surface of water. However, unlike waves on the surface of water, which are a manifestation of the collective behavior and interaction of many molecules, quantum waves can be associated with individual particles.

One example of the wave nature of quantum particles is an experiment with two slits located very close to each other, through which a "wave" of one particle simultaneously passes. After passing through the cracks, the waves are added to each other and the particle-wave again acquires its integrity. This effect has already been demonstrated for photons, electrons, neutrons, and even single atoms.

In their experiments, the scientists used the largest available molecule C707H260F908N16S53Zn4, which consists of a total of 40 thousand protons, neutrons and electrons, and has a mass equal to 25 thousand atomic masses. To synthesize such molecules, special methods were used that made these molecules stable enough to form a beam directed inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber. Verification of the quantum nature of such massive particles required the use of an interferometer, two meters long, which was at the disposal of the University of Vienna.

According to one of the alternative theories, which serves as a kind of bridge between classical physics and quantum mechanics, the duration of the dominance of the wave function of a particle decreases in direct proportion to the mass of this particle. This, in turn, also limits the time the particle stays in the quantum superposition state.

In their experiments, scientists found that huge molecules were in a state of superposition for 7 milliseconds of time, long enough to leave no stone unturned from the above theory and from a number of other alternative theories and models.
