The Pilot headphones translate in real time

31.05.2016

Waverly Labs has developed an in-ear earphone that can translate foreign languages in real time using a companion smartphone app. So to speak, a virtual translator will sit right in your ear and help you perceive foreign speech.

Headphones from Waverly Labs are called "The Pilot" and will cost about $300. On May 25, fundraising for the project on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform should begin, and the first copies should reach buyers in the spring of 2017.

First, in addition to English, the main languages of the Romano-Germanic group will be available. Then the list will be expanded with Slavic and Asian languages, as well as Hindi.

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, ... >>

Absolutely legal doping 26.01.2013

English biochemist Michael Gleason sums up the results of the Summer Olympics held in London: many athletes used permitted types of doping, such as caffeine, soda and beetroot juice.

Caffeine was once banned in professional sports, but now athletes use it no less freely than, for example, office workers. It stimulates many physiological functions. And the difference in the efficiency of the organism of the sprinter who took the first place in the hundred-meter race and the one who came last can be only one percent. A cup of good strong coffee can provide this supplement. The use of ordinary drinking soda as a dope is based on the fact that with prolonged muscular effort, lactic acid accumulates in the muscles. It causes a burning sensation in the muscles and weakens muscle contractions.

Some athletes take baking soda to neutralize the acid, increasing the alkalinity of the blood. True, for many, because of the reaction with acidic gastric juice, soda can cause bloating in the stomach. Beetroot juice is also not prohibited, which, as experiments have shown, in competitions lasting 2030 minutes, can increase the efficiency of muscles by two to three percent. The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but it is suggested that the nitrates contained in beet juice act this way.
