Emission-free aircraft

13.11.2019

The aircraft manufacturer Airbus can develop an aircraft by 2030 that will not have a harmful effect on the environment. This was stated by the Executive Director of Airbus ExO Alpha ("daughter" of Airbus, specializing in the development of new technologies) Sandra Schaeffer. According to the top manager, the eco-friendly airliner with a capacity of 100 people can be used for regional passenger transportation.

Airbus, along with Boeing and other major aircraft manufacturers, has pledged to halve carbon emissions by 2050. "Today, there is no single solution for meeting commitments, but there are a number of solutions that will work if we put them together," Schaeffer said.

Sandra Schaeffer said that the company is currently exploring the use of alternative fuels in aircraft to reduce carbon emissions, as well as working on more fuel-efficient engines and improved aerodynamic performance.

While environmentally friendly large airliners can take a long time to build, Airbus CEO ExO Alpha believes that environmentally friendly small aircraft for regional travel could be launched as early as 2030.

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, ... >>

Arctic drone 08.03.2017

In the United States, tests of a special Arctic drone ArcticShark, created for climate studies in the North Pole region, have started. Testing is being carried out by the developers of the drone - Navmar Applied Sciences and the US Department of Energy.

The mass of the drone is 283 kg, and the wingspan is 6,7 meters. It is capable of operating at altitudes up to 4,5 km and speeds up to 121 km/h. To perform climatic measurements, it is equipped with 12 different devices and sensors. With their help, ArcticShark is able to determine the strength and direction of the wind, temperature, humidity and background radiation.

Without exception, all components of the drone are prepared for operating conditions at low temperatures and high winds. It is assumed that the verification and certification procedures with ArcticShark will be completed before the end of this year. Then, in 2018, scientists will begin to collect information about the environmental situation in the Arctic.
