Teenagers don't listen to their parents

23.05.2022

Many, many parents are faced with the fact that their child, only yesterday still obedient, suddenly turns into a difficult teenager who is clearly not interested in what dad and mom say, who does everything differently than he is told, who behaves as as if he does not hear the elders at all.

Employees of Stanford University found out that everything is true: teenagers do not hear their elders in the truest sense of the word. True, it’s not that they don’t hear - it’s just that the parental voice ceases to be the main one among the voices of other people.

What does cease to be the main mean? In past work, scientists have explored how the child's brain perceives the mother's voice. It turned out that the voice of the mother includes a number of zones in the child's brain, ranging from purely auditory to those responsible for self-awareness and facial analysis. Moreover, the mother's voice activates all these zones more strongly than the voice of an unfamiliar woman.

These experiments were done with children from 7 to 12 years old; for new experiments, children from 7 to 16 years old were already invited - and it turned out that the sixteen-year-old brain reacts to the mother's voice differently than the seven-year-old brain. The areas responsible for attention and anticipation of rewards, as they grow older, begin to respond more strongly to unfamiliar voices; the corresponding changes begin somewhere between thirteen and fourteen years of age. That is, it cannot be said that a teenager stops hearing his mother at all, just that if there is an alternative, he will listen with great attention to another voice, not necessarily a comrade of the same age, but simply an outside adult.

It may be difficult for some to come to terms with this, but not a single parent in the world will be able to install in a child the entire amount of knowledge that will be needed in life - and the ability to live in society also belongs to such knowledge. A person will encounter many other people with whom one needs to somehow negotiate, whose words need to be analyzed, whose emotions and thoughts need to be somehow understood, and the sooner the brain learns these procedures, the better. To learn, you need educational material, which is why the family world opens up into the external environment, and the ear begins to catch what others say first of all, instead of the long-familiar intra-family conversations.

However, such a switch to the outside world must depend on many different factors, and one of the main factors here, of course, is the relationship between the child and the mother. And these relationships are obviously influenced by other relatives, and here it would be interesting to know if the perception of the father's voice or the voice of brothers, sisters, etc. is somehow changing.

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 ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Rolls-Royce hydrogen generators 29.01.2023

Rolls-Royce is preparing to present environmentally friendly electric generators running on pure hydrogen. According to DataCenter Dynamics, from 2024 it is planned to supply 1 MW models based on methane generators already produced under the mtu brand. Rolls-Royce is also developing fuel cells for data centers.

In the future, it is planned to use only "green" hydrogen, obtained by electrolysis from water using the energy of solar cells and wind farms.

It is known that so far we are talking about an artificial product - two generators will be delivered in January 2024 to Germany. This is a refinement of an existing model that runs on methane - mtu Series 4000 L64. The new version is designed for use with pure hydrogen. It is important that methane and hydrogen have a large difference in physical and chemical properties, so Rolls-Royce had to work hard to create a truly reliable hydrogen generator.

It is expected that the company will move from test operation to "serious" use in 2026, when new solutions will become available to a wide range of customers.

Gas systems that are already in operation cannot yet operate on pure hydrogen, so a deep processing of technologies was required. So, Rolls-Royce changed the fuel injection system, piston control system, etc.

The emphasis in the tests was on stability and reduced emissions - it has been proven that Rolls-Royce can already use many of the components produced for mtu generators, and new test versions of engines for generators meet the stringent EU requirements with a margin, and exhaust treatment is simply not needed.
