From a dog's point of view

30.04.2012

High-tech dog glasses, designed by a team of engineers and physiologists from the USA, Holland and Belgium, not only allow you to register everything that the animal sees, but also show what exactly in the field of view its eyes are directed. The resulting picture from two video cameras (one looks at the world, the other looks at the dog's eyes) is transmitted via radio to a computer.

Glasses are used to study the behavior of dogs and their interaction with a person: for example, what does the dog look at when the owner communicates with him - at his hands or face? And when they bring a bowl of food?

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 most dangerous air pollution 27.09.2012

Residents of big cities are sure that there is no worse air pollutant than a car. However, according to the World Health Organization, the main cause of death in the world due to inhaled harmful substances is a potbelly stove. Almost half of humanity lives in poverty, these people heat themselves and cook food through primitive hearths, burning firewood, brushwood, dung, peat or coal in them. The house is filled with thick smoke.

Even if the stove is used only for cooking and stands on the street near the house, the hostess breathes combustion products. Breathing this smoke leads to the death of about two million people every year - more than from malaria.

The United Nations has created the World Clean Stove Alliance, which includes 175 countries, foundations, corporations and other non-governmental organizations. The alliance's goal is to provide one hundred million homes in developing countries with efficient and clean stoves by 2020. Designs are known in which the fuel burns almost completely, without harmful combustion products, and the alliance intends to finance their distribution.
