Cancer magnet

03.09.2000

The magnetic method for the destruction of certain types of malignant tumors was tested in the large Berlin clinic "Charite".

A suspension of the smallest particles of iron oxide is injected directly into the tumor - the diameter of individual particles is only a few millionths of a millimeter. The patient is then subjected to an alternating magnetic field. At the same time, iron particles are heated to 45-47 degrees Celsius, this temperature is enough to kill tumor cells. The remaining tissues of the body, where there are no magnetic particles, do not heat up.

So far, the method has been successfully tested in mice, and testing in humans should begin soon.

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, ... >>

Platform MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 01.12.2015

MediaTek Labs has unveiled the MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 Developer Platform, the latest addition to the LinkIt Developer Platform series.

The new platform provides developers with rich programming options and allows them to quickly build modern devices with Wi-Fi modules and access to cloud services such as IP cameras, surveillance systems, smart home appliances and Wi-Fi gateways.

Two hardware development kits (HDKs) will go on sale: LinkIt Smart 7688 with MediaTek MT7688AN chipset and LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo, additionally equipped with an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Both breadboards are equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi modem, 128MB RAM and 32MB ROM modules, and a wide range of options for connecting peripherals.

"Encouraging innovation in the IoT is one of the priorities of MediaTek Labs. Today's addition to the LinkIt family of products is created specifically for the numerous developer communities working with open-source platforms with integration into cloud services. We believe that our new products will contribute to the implementation of the most daring ideas of developers and will make our world even more united in the context of global communications,” commented Mark Neidell, vice president of MediaTek Labs, commenting on the announcement. popular programming languages and compatibility with Linux".

Three developer communities will immediately find clear benefits in using the LinkIt Smart 7688 development board:

1. OpenWrt developers will be able to use the OpenWrt SDK to create applications in C language for their IoT devices, as well as use more than 2000 ready-made software modules to implement additional functionality.
2. Developers of applications for mobile platforms and the web, thanks to the support of Node.js and Python, will be able to easily integrate their developments into the IoT environment.
3. Arduino developers can use the Arduino IDE to develop applications for the built-in microcontroller in the LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo and control peripherals in real time.

The MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 and 7688 Duo development boards will be available worldwide through Seeed Studio channels starting December 1, 2015. The LinkIt Smart 7688 is $12,9 and the LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo is $15,9. An open-source version of the Wi-Fi driver is under development and will be available on the MediaTek Labs website in a few months.
