Blockchain technologies for space exploration

20.01.2018

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to attract cryptocurrency technologies for further space exploration.

NASA has allocated a $330 grant to scientists at the University of Akron to explore the potential of blockchain technologies to improve communications in extraterrestrial space.

Associate Professor of Computer Engineering Dr. Jen Wei leads a team of scientists developing the Resilient Networking and Computing Paradigm (RNCP) for space exploration. The team plans to launch an Ethereum-based RNCP in combination with artificial intelligence and deep learning.

The new technology will allow spacecraft to receive commands from the Earth faster and send the collected information more quickly, as well as automate many processes, significantly reducing the need for manual control by operators from the Earth.

Blockchain should also increase tracking of artificial space debris and lay out safe trajectories to avoid fatal collisions.

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, ... >>

Low temperatures can increase lifespan 13.04.2023

Cold temperatures have long been associated with various health benefits, including increased life expectancy.

According to a recent study, people living in cold climates tend to live longer than those living in warm regions. This surprising finding has sparked great interest among both scientists and health experts seeking to uncover the mysterious link between cold temperatures and longevity.

The study in question, conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Michigan, analyzed data from more than 3 million people from around the world. Researchers have found that people living in cold regions tend to have longer lives than those living in warm regions. In particular, for every 1 degree Celsius drop in temperature, there was a corresponding 1% drop in mortality.

Although the exact reasons for this phenomenon are not yet fully understood, there are several theories put forward by researchers. One suggests that exposure to cold temperatures may increase the body's production of brown adipose tissue, or "brown fat," which is a type of fat that helps burn calories and produce heat. Increasing brown fat production may help reduce the risk of obesity and other health problems associated with being overweight, which in turn may help increase life expectancy.

Another theory suggests that the effects of cold temperatures may boost the immune system, making people less susceptible to infections and disease. This is because exposure to cold temperatures can increase the production of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections and other foreign invaders in the body.

Regardless of which mechanisms are involved, the results of this study have important public health implications. While moving to a cold climate may not be possible or desirable for everyone, there are a few steps people can take to incorporate the health benefits of cold temperatures into their daily lives. This may include more time outdoors during the winter months, taking cold showers or baths, or simply lowering the temperature in the house.
