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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Water is divided into two different liquids 31.05.2018

Swiss scientists for the first time in history were able to separate water into two different liquids, consisting of two types of water molecules.

The spatial structure and some physical properties of water molecules depend on the spin of hydrogen atoms. If the spin of both atoms is the same, such a molecule is called a para-water, if they are opposite - an ortho-water. The exact differences between them are not yet known, however, in 2002, Russian physicists showed that the ortho-water condenses worse than the para-water.

The laws of quantum mechanics prohibit the direct transformation of one form of water into another, therefore, in any glass with liquid, separate groups of both para- and ortho-waters must be present at the same time. Nevertheless, the very first experiments showed that it is impossible to separate them, since some interactions between water molecules, the nature of which is not yet clear, sometimes cause them to change the spin of hydrogen atoms.

Willich and his colleagues were able to solve this seemingly impossible problem for the first time by cooling water to a temperature close to absolute zero and forcing para- and orthowater molecules to separate on their own into two camps that do not touch each other.

This was achieved by turning water into a kind of steam - an extremely rarefied mixture of water molecules and argon atoms, which does not solidify even at ultra-low temperatures. Having prepared a sufficient amount of this mixture, the scientists passed it through a powerful generator of electrostatic fields. It split into two narrow streams of molecules, one of which consisted only of parawater, and the second only of orthowater.

The streams crashed into a cloud of another gas, consisting of calcium ions and diazenylium - a fragile combination of two nitrogen atoms and one hydrogen atom. Diazenylium, which actively interacts with water even at ultra-low temperatures, giving it excess hydrogen, has become one of the first interstellar chemical compounds discovered by astronomers in space in the last 50 years.

By bombarding this cloud and streams with ultraviolet rays, the scientists were able to track how both forms of water interact with diazenylium and uncover several interesting properties of para- and orthowater. For example, it turned out that parawater reacts much faster and more actively with N2H molecules, which indicates significant differences in their "behavior" and chemical interactions.
