mosquito ringing

18.03.2018

American scientists decided to answer a question that interests many people: how and why do mosquitoes make such a nasty sound at night, which makes it difficult to sleep. The answer of scientists is able to surprise many.

According to US scientists, most mosquitoes that buzz at night do not dare to bite. In addition, it is female mosquitoes that bite silently, sit on the skin and drink blood, then fly away just as quietly. According to scientists, the sound comes from the wings, and sounds can also vary between male and female individuals.

Each mosquito has its own musical fingerprint. Also, a nasty mosquito sound is a signal that is used to communicate or to attract a female.

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, ... >>

Satellite communications in the 300 GHz band 08.02.2017

Panasonic, together with colleagues from the University of Hiroshima and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, have achieved some success in developing a transmitter capable of transmitting data at over 100 Gbps over a single channel in the 300 GHz band. The emergence of this technology, at least an order of magnitude faster than the 5G network, is expected around 2020.

Last year, this group of researchers showed the use of QAM modulation in the radio channel in the 300 GHz band. This year, the speed per channel was increased six times - up to 105 Gbps. Scientists intend to continue development.

The allocation of the currently unused 275-450 GHz frequency band, which includes the 290-315 GHz band in which the transmitter operates, will be discussed at the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) in 2019.
