F1 biometric gloves

11.02.2018

This season in Formula 1, there will be no models on the grid, but drivers will get specially designed gloves with heart rate and blood oxygen sensors that can transmit readings up to 500 meters in real time.

As in any car racing, accidents sometimes happen in Formula 1, and at fairly high speeds. To avoid fatal consequences for the racers, strict safety requirements are imposed on the cars, so the pilots rarely get serious injuries, but doctors and rescuers are always on duty on the race tracks in case of major accidents in order to have time to help the victims as soon as possible.

To make it easier for them and speed up the diagnosis of the condition of pilots, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) puts into operation special "smart" gloves. With their help, doctors will receive information about the victim remotely, even before they get to the scene of the accident. To do this, a flexible sensor is built into the glove, which determines the pilot's pulse and the level of oxygen in the blood.

The gloves are equipped with wireless charging and Bluetooth transmitters that transmit real-time data over a distance of up to 500 meters. However, in the 2018 season, only the organizers of the races will have online access to data from the gloves, and the teams will be able to collect data only at the end of each of the stages. Over time, biometric gloves are planned to be equipped with temperature and respiration sensors.

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, ... >>

Performed quantum teleportation 02.01.2020

Scientists from the UK and Denmark have conducted the world's first quantum teleportation - they were able to transfer the quantum state of a particle between two chips. This should be the cornerstone for quantum communication technologies. The accuracy of data transmission was 91%.

Scientists from the University of Bristol in the UK and the Technical University of Denmark have created chip-like devices that can generate and manipulate individual light particles in programmable nanoscale circuits, thus implementing the laws of quantum physics.

These chips are able to encode quantum information in the light that is generated inside the circuit and can process this information with high efficiency and extremely low noise. The invention should help humanity move on to creating more complex circuits for quantum computing and communications than those that exist today.

Initially, the photons in each chip were in the same quantum state. Each chip was then programmed to perform a series of entanglement manipulations. In the main experiment, two microcircuits were involved. Between them, it was possible to transfer the individual quantum state of the particle after quantum measurements. During the measurements, a phenomenon of quantum physics was used, in which the entangled bond is simultaneously destroyed, and the state of the particle is transferred to another particle already in the receiver chip.

As a result, an even more complex scheme was created, containing four single-photon sources. All sources have been tested and found to be virtually identical, i.e., emitting almost the same photons, which is extremely important for entanglement exchange.

The researchers were able to demonstrate some other important functionality of their chips. These include entanglement permutation (required for quantum repeaters and quantum networks) and four-photon gigahertz states (required in quantum computing and the quantum internet).
