Climate change has affected the taste of beer

19.10.2023

Global climate change is affecting beer production by changing the characteristics of hops and therefore affecting the taste of the drink. Scientists from the Institute for Global Change Studies of the Czech Academy of Sciences have found that due to rising temperatures and the fate of dryness in hops, the content of alpha acids, responsible for the characteristic taste and bitterness of beer, is decreasing.

The study found that global warming is causing hops to ripen earlier, up to 20 days earlier than usual. This process partially occurs during periods of high temperatures, which makes it difficult for alpha acids to form. Decreased rainfall and the incidence of droughts are reducing hop yields, with yields expected to decline by 2050% and alpha acid content by 18-20% by 30.

Scientists offer several solutions for beer producers.

One of them is to transplant hops to higher areas where it is less hot, or to places with the above groundwater levels. Another option is to introduce irrigation systems and switch to more resistant hop varieties.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Xiaomi Bluetooth Key Finder Gadget 05.09.2019

Xiaomi has launched a fundraiser for the release of a new device called Xiaomi Bluetooth Key Finder. The name says it all: these gadgets are designed to quickly find your keys.

One keychain is hung on a bunch of keys, and the second is placed, for example, in a bag or wallet that you always carry with you. By the way, in the standard kit there are three such devices at once. All Xiaomi Bluetooth Key Finder support the ability to search each other.

As soon as the gadgets move away from each other at a certain distance, the user immediately receives a hint on the smartphone that you may have forgotten the keys or something else related to other key fobs.

On the smartphone screen, through the corresponding application, you can see the location and status of your Xiaomi Bluetooth Key Finder. In the event of a discharge, it will be possible to accurately determine the place where it was before the shutdown.

A set of three Xiaomi Bluetooth Key Finder is offered for $14.
