Mandatory biometric registration

25.11.2014

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Federal Migration Service wrote a positive opinion on the bill obliging Russians to submit biometric data and register fingerprint and genomic information in a citizen's biocard.

The authorities propose to switch to biometric registration in stages. In addition, the FMS and the Ministry of Internal Affairs draw attention to the need to popularize this idea and explain that fingerprints are taken not only from criminals. At the same time, the FMS proposes to divide the unified system of biometric registration into criminal and civil parts.

The creation of a single database, Deputy Interior Minister Sergei Gerasimov noted in his response, will help to detect and prevent crimes, simplify the unambiguous identification of a person and reduce the level of bureaucracy. In his opinion, it is necessary to expand the list of citizens undergoing fingerprinting in the law and to prescribe responsibility for evading it.

According to the FMS, in 2013 nearly 250 people voluntarily gave their fingerprints. Russians and slightly more than 3 million foreign citizens and stateless persons. The department believes that equipment should be installed at the border to identify biometric data in visiting Russians and foreigners.

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, ... >>

space wine 07.08.2017

Over the past few years, we have watched NASA astronauts on the International Space Station not only grow food in space, but also taste the harvest. The success of this event has led some experts to ask when can we expect the first harvest of space wine?

According to scientist Joy Massa, who works on the plant production system at NASA, growing wine grapes in space is an interesting challenge. In the near future, experts want to try growing dwarf fruit trees in space, and it is possible that dwarf vines will be tested after them in the future.

Space plants need to be very compact as there is a problem getting enough light. Another major problem is pollination. Gioia Massa says astronauts will be trying to pollinate dwarf tomatoes by hand next year, and the method could also be applied to grapes.

However, growing grapes is only part of the wine production process. Fermentation in space is another complex issue facing scientists. Joya Massa believes that turning sugars into alcohol in space is not science fiction, and a microbial bioreactor could be developed to produce wine in space that would allow fermentation and other processes to take place in microgravity.

The potential for growing grapes in space is that they won't be affected by typical plant diseases or bacteria.
