Chili Peppers Help You Lose Weight

07.06.2017

An international team of scientists has found that regular consumption of chili peppers can help you lose weight and improve digestion.

Hot chili pepper is an important spice in the cuisines of many peoples of the world. It contains the alkaloid capsaicin, which, as scientists have found, in therapeutic doses has a positive effect on the human body, stimulating and supporting the natural processes of digestion. The loss of extra pounds is accelerated due to the fact that capsaicin increases fat metabolism, accelerates energy expenditure and regulates insulin levels in the blood.

Scientists made such conclusions on the basis of a study of a large array of research papers on the effect of chili peppers on humans, as well as generalized data from observations of people who ate chili both at a time and regularly for 12 weeks.

A thorough study and generalization of existing scientific materials on the properties of chili peppers and its effect on the body will make it possible in the future to create effective medicines and biologically active food additives based on extracts from it. They can be used in dietetics to maintain optimal body weight, to prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

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, ... >>

Toshiba TLP250H optocoupler directly drives a power transistor 11.01.2013

Toshiba announced the release of an optocoupler in a DIP8 package capable of directly driving an IGBT or medium power FET. Designated as TLP250H, the peak output current is +2,5A and the input current is less than 5mA. The manufacturer considers a short signal propagation time of 500 ns and an uneven propagation time of no more than 150 ns to the advantages of the novelty. Such values of these parameters help to increase the efficiency of inverter circuits.

In addition, the use of a new optocoupler will help reduce the power consumption of electronic devices, since its operating voltage range has been extended to 10-30 V (the previous model operated at a voltage of at least 15 V).

The Toshiba TLP250H optocoupler is designed for operation in the temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. Among the areas of application of the novelty, the manufacturer names industrial electronics, solar-powered home power supplies, digital electronic devices, and measuring instruments.
