material absorbing carbon dioxide

05.12.2019

Scientists from Chalmers University of Technology and Stockholm University have developed a new material to capture carbon dioxide.

In the future, this technology could be used to clean industrial emissions and reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

With the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soaring, scientists around the world are developing technologies to capture greenhouse gases near the Earth's surface. Such developments will reduce the anthropogenic impact of human activity and reduce the rate of global climate change.

Scientists have proposed another solution for cleaning emissions from industrial enterprises - the solid material they developed from zeolite, cellulose and gelatin during tests allowed not only to capture carbon dioxide, but also convert it into calcium carbonate.

Zeolite is an aluminosilicate mineral with a porous structure that is relatively cheap and easy to process.

The researchers suggest treating the pipes of industrial enterprises with zeolite foam - one layer will remove carbon dioxide from emissions for several years.

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, ... >>

Lawn mower controlled by smartphone 23.04.2014

For the next summer season, Robomow has prepared a new line of robotic lawn mowers. Models are distinguished by a unique feature - support for remote control using a smartphone.

Models RC304, RC306, RC302, (for small areas) and RS630, RS622, RS612 (for large lawns) are designed for use in gardens up to 3000 sq. m. and are distinguished by a unique feature - support for remote control using a smartphone.

In order to control the lawn mower while sitting in a summer lounger, it is enough to install a special Robomow The App app on your smartphone that supports iOS and Android. Using the application, the user can remotely change the settings of the lawnmower or change the schedule of its operation.

Thanks to the mobile application, the entire process of user interaction with an automated lawn mower fundamentally changes. The difference between the new Robomow models is that they are equipped with larger displays and enhanced functionality. Before using the lawn mower, the owner needs to go through a simple product registration procedure, and then complete the initial setup by following the step-by-step instructions available.

The Robomow The App smart app interface is intuitive and allows you to completely change or partially adjust the mower's schedule. At any time, the user can stop it, change the current settings, or even manually exclude from the working area the area where, for example, garden furniture has recently been placed.

Robomow The app works with iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad mini, iPad 3 and iPod touch (5th generation) and devices running Android 4.3 and higher. The lawnmower communicates with the Bluetooth Smart interface, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy.

Robomow lawn mowers from the new line can be purchased at premium gardening equipment outlets. The prices recommended by the manufacturer for retail sale range from 1000 to 3500 USD.
