Electronic wine taster

26.12.2023

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), led by Professor Kyun-In Jang from the Republic of Korea, presents an innovative electronic wine taster. This remarkable instrument, developed by the research team, is capable of accurately simulating taste sensations and analyzing saltiness, acidity, bitterness and sweetness in real time.

New technology promises to improve not only the wine tasting process, but also enrich the consumer experience in various areas.

The device is based on 4 sensors, each of which specializes in a specific taste. Just a few millimeters in size, these sensors function as taste buds, capable of detecting and analyzing various chemicals, converting them into electrical signals. The authors note that similar systems have been created previously, but they lacked the “brain” to process combinations of flavors in real dishes and drinks.

To cope with these challenges, scientists have developed integrated e-tongue systems that combine sensors and deep learning technologies. Experiments carried out on 6 different types of wine confirmed the high efficiency of the device, which was able to classify wines with an accuracy of more than 95%. Thanks to deep learning, the device also offered recommendations for selecting similar types of wine, ideal for a variety of dishes.

The researchers are convinced that the electronic taster could find application in various industries, including food, liquor, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The introduction of this technology promises a revolution in determining taste characteristics and creating ideal combinations in various products.

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, ... >>
