Concert after a stroke

17.12.2008

Doctors at the University Hospital in Helsinki, Finland are experimenting with a new way to rehabilitate stroke patients. They were divided into three groups: one of them listened to the music chosen by the patients themselves for many hours every day, the second - to audio books, the third did not listen to anything.

Almost all participants in the experiment suffered from movement, memory and concentration disorders. After three months of such a regime, memorization of words improved by 60% in those who listened to music, in the second group - by 18%, in the third - by 29%. The ability to concentrate attention and solve problems in the mind in those who listened to music improved by 17%, in patients of the other two groups there were no changes. In addition, "musical" patients were less likely to have confusion and depression of consciousness.

Finnish doctors recommend starting music therapy as soon as possible after a stroke, but emphasize that this is not a replacement for conventional treatments, but only an addition to them.

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, ... >>

Power plant Bluetti AC500 & B300S 02.08.2022

The Bluetti brand announced the creation of a power plant with a capacity of 18 Wh. The name of the system presented the day before is AC432 & B500S.

To launch a serial assembly, the developer decided to raise funds through crowdfunding. Users who invest in the novelty will receive the product at a promotional price. Fundraising will be conducted on the Indiegogo platform.

One of the advantages of AC500 & B300S is the possibility of filling with energy from solar panels. The traditional method of charging from the mains is also present. In addition, it is possible to fill the system from a car cigarette lighter.

The station allows you to maintain the performance of various devices for a long period of time in the event of a power outage at home. The novelty is able to provide a significant reduction in electricity bills. A system with a total AC output power of 5000W can withstand power surges up to and including 10W without problems.

For charging portable devices and home appliances, the AC500 & B300S has over a dozen ports ranging from AC outlets to USB-C and USB-A.

To reach the limiting power, 6 batteries must be connected to the power plant. Charging time to 100% - 1 hour 15 minutes. You can track the progress of the process and remotely control the novelty through proprietary software.

The dimensions of the new power plant are 20,5" x 12,8" x 14,1". Weight - 30 kg.
