Revolutionary rocket engine

14.03.2019

The UK is actively building a test site in Birmingham. ESA is preparing a revolutionary rocket engine SABER, which can open a new era in the development of technology.

The space agency experts examined the object and concluded that the top-class motors are ready for implementation. First, tests will be carried out on a territory specially designated for this, and then the stage of implementing the project in reality will begin. ESA is preparing SABER to deliver rockets to the ISS. The advantage of the new launcher lies in its power.

Thanks to this, engineers will save a huge amount of resources in the face of scarcity. ESA is co-financing the project with UK agency UKSA. In total, the organizations invested 60 million pounds sterling to implement the plan. ESA's involvement in SABER production began in 2010.

Creating an engine of this class is the first step towards the colonization of Mars, scientists say. Physicists have long been talking about the need to look for resources outside the Earth. Motor tests will be carried out on a special installation. They are now made in Buckinghamshire.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. 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, ... >>

It's time to fly on hydrogen 15.07.2007

Scientists from the EU received a grant of 2,9 million euros to develop a hydrogen aircraft. Fuel cells are already well developed, and it's time to find new applications for them.

To make a fuel cell aircraft, you need to completely redo its entire propulsion part: instead of a conventional engine, put an electric one, which will rotate the motors of a fully electric aircraft. The main advantages of this type of transport are the absence of harmful exhaust and low noise levels.

The latter is especially important for local European airlines: a low-noise aircraft will be able to take off and land near any settlements both day and night. This is no longer possible because EU countries have strict noise regulations, especially at night.

True, flying on an airplane with a tank of hydrogen on board is not a pleasure for the faint of heart, because this gas seeps even through metal and explodes, reaching the concentration of an explosive mixture. Therefore, as participants in the flight on a domestic hydrogen aircraft say, the thought is constantly present in the head: will the sensors that should detect the leakage of hydrogen from the tank work?
