In the bowels of the Earth, helium will help keep iron and oxygen

28.12.2018

An international team of scientists conducted a study that showed that after the Big Bang, a lot of helium was formed in the bowels of our planet. It is this element that helps to retain iron and oxygen.

Researchers from China and the United States, after conducting field experiments, modeled a computer model of our planet, which showed that iron and oxygen are retained in the bowels of the Earth with the help of primary helium.

Experts have long established that helium is the second most popular chemical element after hydrogen, and there are large deposits of it in the bowels of the Earth. To date, it has been established that it is stored in the bark in the form of the FeO2He compound, which is capable of reacting with iron oxide. This interaction leads to the formation of a compound that can remain stable even when heated to a temperature of four thousand degrees Celsius and maintained at a pressure of 135-300 gigapascals.

It is assumed that helium is located at the boundary between the Earth's mantle and its core. The researchers came to this conclusion after conducting computer simulations using the CALYPSO algorithm. This compound has not yet been obtained in the laboratory, but scientists were able to synthesize its analogue.

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, ... >>

Three Port Video Switch FSAV433 21.04.2005

FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR introduced the industry's first three-port video switch, the FSAV433. It optimizes operations for a liquid crystal display that requires high-speed switching of either color or color difference signals.

The switch has a frequency band of up to 550 MHz, low phase distortion (up to 0,1), low resistance (not higher than 6,5 Ohm), very low current consumption (less than 1 μA). The microcircuit is produced in the TSSQP-20 package.
