Super Diamond Fusion Code

01.04.2024

Carbon is an element whose properties have long attracted the attention of scientists. One of the most durable materials - diamond - is made from it. However, there is a theoretical version of the carbon phase, which could surpass it in strength. A new discovery in the field of superdiamond synthesis may be the key to creating such a material.

Scientists have long dreamed of producing a material that is stronger than diamond. And now, thanks to research conducted on the basis of the unique Frontier supercomputer, this dream is becoming more and more real.

The so-called eight-atom body-centered cubic crystal (BC8) is a phase of carbon that is predicted to be 30% stronger than diamond. Recent astrophysical observations confirm that such conditions exist on carbon-rich exoplanets, where the material is thought to be most stable.

Key to success was the use of the Frontier supercomputer and the development of precise interatomic machine learning capabilities, which allowed scientists to discover the potential metastability of diamond at very high pressures. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of creating durable materials and studying carbon phases under extreme conditions.

The discovery of a new phase of carbon - BC8 - could be the key to creating a material that is stronger than diamond. This breakthrough in the field of materials synthesis not only opens up new possibilities in science, but also could have broad practical applications in various industries.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Newspapers and the Internet: An Ecologist's Perspective 15.03.2001

Newspapers consume a lot of energy and raw materials inefficiently to inform readers of the news, virtual publications on the Internet are much more environmentally friendly.

This popular belief is not true, says Professor Lothar Goetsching from the Institute of Paper Industry at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany). Taking a newspaper note of medium length (477 words), the professor compared the energy costs of publishing it on paper and on the Internet.

It turned out that in order for the reader to read the news in the newspaper, it took 7,2 kilojoules of energy (for the production of newsprint, printing and delivery to the kiosk), and through the Internet (taking into account the energy consumption of the server, computer, modem and monitor) - 38,7 kilojoules. If the consumer of information did not want to read the note from the screen, but print it, then as much as 257 kilojoules (the energy consumption for printing and making a sheet of high-quality printer paper is added).

However, the Ministry of Environmental Protection criticized Getching's calculations. Firstly, the professor took into account only the weight of the paper used in the newspaper for one average note - 0,61 grams, as if in a kiosk the buyer would be offered not the entire newspaper, but a clipping from it. Secondly, Getching assumed that newsprint was 90% recycled and printer paper was brand new. Both are wrong: newsprint is no more than 50% recycled, and new printer models are increasingly allowing the use of paper mixed with recycled paper.

If we take more realistic estimates, it goes something like this. Incidentally, a survey commissioned by Minolta, a company producing copiers and printers, showed that 18% of German Internet users began to consume more paper since they connected to the network. Only 6,8% of e-mail users read their letters only from the monitor, the rest prefer printouts.
