The best seat on a plane

25.04.2020

The British airline EasyJet organized a survey of passengers to find out which seat they consider the best in the cabin of an airliner.

It turned out that the passengers of the British low-cost airline consider the 7F seat to be the best - by the window in the seventh row. It is located on the right side of the aircraft and is the first choice for discounted fares that an airline usually offers for short haul flights. The most popular rows for passengers were the sixth and seventh.

The least popular seat was 19C, which is located in the middle of the plane and far from the toilets. More than 10 EasyJet customers took part in the survey. 59% of them admitted that they prefer to sit by the window, 39% - in the aisle so as not to disturb others while moving around the cabin, and only 3% like to sit in the middle.

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, ... >>

Solar panels on aircraft wings 10.04.2007

The world's first solar unmanned aerial vehicle was created by British engineers. A light aircraft with a wingspan of 16 meters, named "Zephyr", weighs less than 30 kilograms.

The wings are covered with high-efficiency solar panels that power two electric propeller motors and charge 40 lithium batteries. During the day, in full sun, the Zephyr rises to a height of 18 meters, at night, powered by batteries, it drops to 300 meters and waits for sunrise. After some improvement, Zephyr will be able to fly without landing for three months, but so far the highest achievement is 15 hours of flight, of which seven are at night.

This aircraft, equipped with video cameras, will find application in science, economic activity, and fire protection. The possibility of using it for military purposes is also provided. So far, three prototypes have been made.
