Exploration of bones will reveal new durable materials

02.04.2020

A team of experienced material engineers from New York Cornwell University presented a project aimed at identifying the principles of how bone tissue can strengthen itself and how this principle can be used to make the materials and devices known to us even more stable and reliable in their prolonged and sometimes even extreme operation.

In particular, the work of the team of specialists focused in the first stage on identifying how the bone can resist high loads on itself. It turned out that its lattice structure is based on the imposition of horizontal and vertical "racks", which not only withstand long cycles of loads, but which can also increase the stability of the bone tissue itself. With the passage of age, people primarily lose horizontal bone struts, which significantly reduces the level of its resistance to various loads, and in addition, the bone becomes more fragile even with respect to small loads.

By creating a unique 3D print of such a dynamic bone structure, the team of specialists found that it is possible to increase the strength level of such a material by editing the structure of the bone structure - and accordingly, the same principle can be applied to third-party materials and devices that surround us. .

In addition, formatted bone racks can become not only the main stronghold in terms of increasing the strength of the material, but also a kind of main base for supporting additional loads. This means that in their adapted form, such material options can become part of the same elements of spacecraft, which need to be not only extremely strong, but also extremely flexible in operation.

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, ... >>

Bacteria that eat dirt and breathe electricity 10.01.2020

Hot water lakes in Yellowstone National Park are home to strange bacteria. They breathe electricity and eat waste that pollutes the environment. They were discovered by a team of scientists from Washington State University.

The found microorganisms can solve two of the most important problems of mankind - environmental pollution and the impossibility of restoring energy sources. How? These microorganisms literally feed on particles of toxic substances and, in the process of their digestion, produce electricity.

Such a bacterium can absorb pollutants, converting them into less harmful substances and in doing so, produce electricity that can be used for low-power appliances.

Collecting these microbes proved to be no easy task. First, a group of scientists overcame a difficult path to four ancient pools of hot water.

Upon arrival, they lowered several electrodes into the water to attract little-known bacteria.

After 32 days, the scientists returned back to the hot springs to pick up the submerged electrodes. In them, they found heat-loving bacteria that "breathes" electricity.
