Pocket Nuclear Resonance Scanner

04.11.2005

A conventional installation for chemical analysis by the method of nuclear magnetic resonance occupies a whole table, and a person is freely placed in a diagnostic device based on this method - a tomograph.

However, at the Higher Technical School of Aachen (Germany), a pocket nuclear magnetic scanner has been created. It allows you to study the chemical composition and mechanical properties of objects on the spot, without delivering them to the laboratory.

The device will be useful to geologists, engineers, forensic scientists, archaeologists. Similar portable devices are also being worked on in France and the United States.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Named the fastest animal 12.11.2016

Until now, it was believed that the speed record in flight among living creatures belongs to swifts (Apus apus), which rush in the air faster than 100 kilometers per hour.

However, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Ornithology and their colleagues from the United States found that swifts have a serious competitor - and this is not even a bird, but a Brazilian folded bat. The separation is serious: the maximum speed of the folded lip in flight exceeds 160 km / h.

Swifts are the fastest of all birds in horizontal flight (up to 110 km / h), peregrine falcons develop up to 300 km / h in a steep peak. The wings of most bats do not allow them to develop such speeds, but the Brazilian folded lips have special aerodynamics: in horizontal flight they are 1,5 times faster than swifts.

As a rule, the animal flies faster, the narrower and longer its wing: it is from these parameters that scientists predicted the excellent aerodynamics of Brazilian bats.
