Gene of eternal childhood

09.11.2019

In Italy, scientists have found the gene for "eternal childhood". This is Kallman's syndrome, which is characterized by delayed onset or absence of puberty and a problem with the sense of smell known as hyposmia. This condition occurs due to a deficiency in the production of hormones responsible for secondary sexual development and maturation.

Italian scientists managed to discover the gene for "eternal childhood" as a result of a whole range of studies, in which, among other things, experiments were carried out on rodents. As a result, experts were able to determine the cause of the genetic failure leading to Kallman's syndrome.

Similar problems occur in one in 30 men and one in 000 women. In these people, the function of reproduction of sex hormones is blocked, as a result of which they are forced to live all their lives in the body of a child. If Kallman syndrome is diagnosed immediately after birth, it is treatable, but it is a complex process. For this, artificial hormones are administered to patients.

Scientists have not been able to find out the cause of Kallman's syndrome for a long time. The only thing that has been established is that patients with this diagnosis do not have a sense of smell. In a recent study, Italian geneticists have grown several embryos of mice. They have seen the activity of proteins in DNA that are responsible for the production of sex hormones. The scientists intend to continue their work. They hope that they will be able to develop new methods that will help fight this terrible disease.

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, ... >>

Samsung The Premiere 4K Laser Projectors 08.04.2021

Samsung Electronics introduced The Premiere laser ultra-short throw projectors. The lineup includes models LSP9T and LSP7T. The older LSP9T uses separate lasers for red, blue and green for the first time. Also, for the first time, the projector features Filmmaler Mode, which shows the film the way the director intended it to be.

The Samsung The Premiere has a brightness of 2200 lumens, and the LSP9T can be positioned just 11cm from a wall for a 100-inch 4K image. For LSP7T, the distance at the same diagonal is 30 cm.

The LSP9T model received a high-quality sound system and many acoustic holes directed in different directions to create a surround sound effect.

The devices are equipped with all the features of the Samsung Smart TV platform, as well as the Smart HUB user interface.

The price of new products - from 4000 USD.
