Childbirth in space

20.11.2018

Spacelife Origin employees want to realize the idea of having a baby in orbit by 2024. To date, women are being searched who are ready to help science.

According to the head of Spacelife Origin, Casey Mulder, in order to become an "interplanetary species" humanity needs to learn how to give birth in space. The first stage will be the launch of the capsule, which is also called the "space incubator". Fertilization should take place in it, then the incubator will return back to Earth, and the authors can proceed to the next step. There will be a search for women who will agree to carry these embryos, and when the time comes, one of them will fly into space to give birth.

If everything goes well, then a full-fledged birth is planned already in 2024. Only a woman who has good health and stamina will recover into orbit to give birth. She will be accompanied by a team of trained obstetricians. They will provide the mother of the "cosmic child" with quality childbirth without risk to the health of both.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Trees will help find the bodies of people missing in the forest 02.09.2020

Forensic botanists at the University of Tennessee have come up with a way trees and shrubs can be used to search for the bodies of people who have gone missing in the woods. They note that a decaying body changes the chemical and microbiological composition of the soil, which can be tracked using spectral analysis of plant leaves.

People often disappear in the forest, in order to find them, as a rule, they comb the area and use aerial photography. But the dense canopy of trees and shrubs complicates this task. Now, forensic botanists have suggested using markers on trees and shrubs that can point to the body that lies underneath.

The decomposing body has a serious impact on the environment over an area of about three square meters. In particular, the chemical composition of the soil and local bacterial communities are transformed around it.

Changes in trees and shrubs, the roots of which are near the body, are especially noticeable. The authors illustrate this by the example of one chemical element - nitrogen. The body of an average person contains 2,6 kilograms of nitrogen, which, when decomposed, turns into ammonium.

Calculations show that the concentration of this compound in the soil around the body will increase by 50 times relative to the norm. As a result of additional feeding, plants will be able to produce more chlorophyll, which will be reflected in the color of their leaves. These and other changes can be detected using spectral analysis of the leaves.
