Tomatoes must ripen on the bush

01.03.2006

Tomatoes are often harvested while still green or slightly pink, so that they ripen during storage or transportation.

Employees of the National Institute for Agricultural Research in Avignon (France) showed that tomatoes ripened in natural conditions are not only tastier, but also healthier.

They have more vitamin C and carotenoids. But if for some reason you have to remove the fruits from the bush ahead of time, then they should not ripen in the dark, but in the light, at 18-25 degrees Celsius. Then the content of useful substances is close to normal.

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, ... >>

Cardio watch will report an attack 16.02.2014

Scientists position the device as a personal device that measures the deviation of blood pressure from the norm, pulse, and fixes the presence or absence of arrhythmia. When the device detects a critical situation, it sends messages to relatives and doctors using the built-in GSM modem.

It is reported that scientists are positioning the device as a personal device that measures the deviation of blood pressure from the norm, pulse, fixes the presence or absence of arrhythmia. When the device detects a critical situation, it sends messages to relatives and doctors using the built-in GSM modem.

"We want to create a device for continuous use, for example, in the form of a watch, a bracelet. This will allow us to "monitor" the state without any additional human actions for 24 hours a day," said the head of the development team, university teacher Dmitry Medvedev.

According to him, the advantage of the shape of the watch is that it is close to the radial artery, so in the lower part of the case you can place sensors that allow you to measure pressure and pulse, as well as an acceleration sensor - an accelerometer that allows you to "filter" motor activity, which gives an error in measurements. An information display will be located on the front side of the device.

According to Medvedev, the method of measuring the speed of propagation of a pulse wave, used in the development, needs to be improved. "We have to solve a number of problems, for example, to separate the useful signal when taking an electrocardiogram from the accompanying noise, because the signal-to-noise ratio during the measurement is very low," he said.

The press service specifies that scientists are going to create a working prototype within a year. The developers are also thinking about how to introduce the device into the healthcare system.
