Rebirth of the Woolly Mammoth

11.12.2023

Researchers from Colossal Sciences have made breakthroughs, finding 99,6% genetic similarity between woolly mammoths and Asian elephants. This discovery encourages the use of Asian elephants as surrogate mothers to revive this ancient species.

Restoring woolly mammoths is not just a scientific fantasy, but a serious research project that requires not only innovative cloning technologies, but also careful management of their new environment. Partnerships with elephant conservation organizations highlight not only the scientific significance, but also the importance of this endeavor in the context of ecosystem conservation and biodiversity maintenance. If successful, this could open a new chapter in the history of endangered species conservation and represent an important step in the understanding and application of modern technologies in conservation.

The researchers' plans include transplanting mammoth embryos into Asian elephants in 2026, with hopes of delivering the first baby mammoth in 2028 after a 22-month gestation period.

Once born, the baby mammoths will be transported to vast habitats in areas above the Arctic Circle, starting in Alaska and Canada. The first generations will live in controlled conditions, under the supervision of caring teams. When the mammoths grow up and become independent, they will be moved to a more “wild” environment.

Colossal Sciences, having invested many years of research and millions of dollars, says it is well ahead of the work on the revival of mammoths.

To successfully implement the project, the company has partnered with elephant conservation organizations and is conducting veterinary research to ensure that woolly mammoths are immune to the viruses that threatened their ancestors.

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, ... >>

DisplayPort 1.3 standard with 32,4Gbps bandwidth 22.09.2014

The DisplayPort 1.3 standard has been published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Compared to the current version of DisplayPort 1.2a, the bandwidth increase has reached 50%, or 32,4 Gbps (8,1 Gbps on each of the four lanes). With transmission overhead included, an uncompressed video stream can be transmitted at 25,92 Gbps.

By increasing the bandwidth, the resolution of monitors can be increased. Now one DisplayPort cable allows you to connect a monitor even with a resolution of 5K (5120x2880 pc). Resolution when connecting multiple monitors to a single port using DisplayPort Multi-Stream technology has also increased. For example, you can connect two 4K monitors (3840x2160 pc) using VESA Coordinated Video Timing.

DisplayPort 1.3 still has the ability to convert video to HDMI, VGA, and DVI. Support for HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is now available, expanding DisplayPort's TV applications to include copy-protected 4K video. The new standard supports the 4:2:0 format that is widely used in consumer TV interfaces. It also improves the ability to transfer other data via DisplayPort simultaneously with video, such as USB 3.0.

The standard is available free of charge to VESA members.
