Bison from a test tube

17.04.2017

For the first time in the world, a Polish scientist from the Higher School of Agriculture obtained a bison embryo by in vitro fertilization. The goal of the scientists' work is to create a bison gene bank, which will contain tissues, reproductive cells and embryos.

Polish scientists managed to fertilize six eggs, which in itself is a great success. But scientists consider the fact of the ongoing development of one of the embryos to be even more fortunate. At present, the bison embryo is at the early blastocyst stage.

Scientists are afraid of contagious diseases that are now observed in different parts of Europe. This could ruin the scientists' plans to move the bison. It is expected that in the current situation, the embryos will refresh the blood in the herds. The preservation of DNA is of great importance, since modern bison have a high similarity of it.

On March 1, a project for the integrated protection of bison was launched in Poland. The project will monitor the health status of these animals, form new herds and spread around the world.

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, ... >>

Electronic locks for Godson processors 05.01.2017

Designed on the basis of MIPS instructions, Godson's (or Loongson's) national microprocessor architecture is suitable for creating a whole range of computing solutions. Based on Godson, not only 8-core processors for servers were created, but also processors for PCs and laptops. Moreover, based on the Godson architecture, single-chip assemblies are being created that can be used in almost any electronics. But it will be a platform with impressive capabilities, which ordinary microcontrollers are unlikely to be capable of. For example, based on the Godson 1C300 assembly, a platform for creating robots has been prepared.

Developers consider the market of electronic locks with fingerprint scanners to be another promising direction for using Godson assemblies. At the end of December, an agreement was signed between the developers of solutions based on the Godson architecture and a number of Chinese electronics manufacturers to use the Godson 1C100 platform as the basis for electronic locks. At the moment, there are already prototypes of solutions that are ready to be delivered to the market, but the flowering of this direction is still expected in 2017.

The basic capabilities of Godson Fingerprint Identification electronic locks based on the Godson 1C100 platform include not only scanning and maintaining a fingerprint database, but also working with voice commands, responding to passwords, working with credit cards, and more with displaying information on the built-in OLED screen. Separately, it is possible to work with RFID keys, support for Bluetooth, laser keys, SIM cards (sending SMS), proximity sensors, video recording and other features, since the power of the computing cores is quite enough for all this.

According to analysts, over the next three years, the market will distribute over 500 million electronic locks. Oddly enough, the smartphone market will contribute to this, which makes fingerprint sensors a massive and fairly inexpensive solution.
