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, ... >>

Alternative to gold in chips 27.04.2016

Taiwanese scientists from the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) have succeeded in developing a technology for connecting integrated circuit elements using aluminum wires, which will be cheaper to manufacture than the gold and copper electrical contacts currently used. This development is designed to output an electrical signal from integrated elements to the external housing of microcircuits - for interaction with other components on the system board.

The quality of contacts is critical for the speed of computing processes and the quality of the device. Previously, gold wires with a diameter of 12,5 microns and larger (including those with an admixture of beryllium or other elements) were most often used for these purposes. Copper wires up to 75 microns in diameter are a cheaper alternative to gold, although there are also certain difficulties in their production: in order to avoid corrosion, soldering wires to a microcircuit must be carried out in a gaseous environment consisting of 95% nitrogen and 5% hydrogen. In some cases, silver is also used as an analogue.

In total, about 90% of devices using semiconductor integrated circuits and light-emitting diode (LED) devices now contain contacts made of gold, silver or copper.

Aluminum and its compounds with magnesium and silicon have also previously been used in microcircuits, but the NCKU research team claims that in the course of four years of work they managed to solve the problem of low conductivity and elasticity (ductility) of aluminum.

The key feature of the technology is the application of the thinnest layer of zinc to the surface of the wire. The diameter of the wire is about 18 microns, aluminum must be completely purified of impurities in order to increase thermal conductivity, elasticity and hardness.

The use of this technology will reduce production costs compared to integrated circuits that use gold or copper contacts, the developers assure. The cost of aluminum raw materials is much cheaper compared to analogues. The price of gold on the world market is about $62 thousand per kg, the cost of silver is much lower and amounts to about $1,25 thousand per kg, for copper this figure is about $7, while the price of aluminum is three times lower - only about $2 per kg.
