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, ... >>

The new analogue of GPS will not need satellites 22.07.2012

Startup IndoorAtlas, founded in 2012 by scientists from the University of Oulu in Finland, announced the development of a technology that allows you to determine the user's coordinates with an accuracy of 0,1-2 meters without using any satellite navigation system and any external equipment. The technology does not require any external equipment, including Wi-Fi access points.

The technology is intended for use inside structures where the signal of GPS or any other satellite system is poorly received or not received at all. To determine the coordinates inside buildings, the Earth's magnetic field is used, which in any building that has steel elements in its structure, takes on a unique pattern. This magnetic field pattern is used to map the building, on which the user's location is then determined using a conventional electronic compass, which is equipped with modern smartphones.

Nature itself helped develop the technology. Scientists believe that animals can determine their location by the Earth's magnetic field. The company claims to be the first to find practical applications for magnetic anomalies inside structures. It is worth adding that the IndoorAtlas technology was successfully tested in a mine at a depth of 1,4 km.

“When smartphones with a built-in compass came on the market, we realized that we could develop a completely new solution for navigating inside buildings,” said Janne Haverinen, Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Oulu, who led the development team. to Wi-Fi hotspots and other supporting equipment inside buildings to enable navigation. Our solution does not require any of that."

IndoorAtlas has released all the necessary tools for mapping buildings and using them inside mobile applications. For now, only the Android platform is supported. Those wishing to implement this technology will be asked to enter into a licensing agreement.
