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, ... >>

Plants sense and react to root temperature 23.07.2023

Scientists at the University of Halle-Wittenberg in Germany have found that plant roots have the ability to perceive and respond to soil temperatures independently of the rest of the plant. This discovery highlights that roots not only transmit signals up the stem, but can themselves respond to changes in the environment.

Previously, it was believed that the roots of plants are not able to respond to the environment on their own and exclusively obey the signals coming from the stem. However, new experiments with plants such as the common caterpillar, tomatoes and cabbage, carried out at a controlled temperature increase from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, disproved these ideas.

As the soil temperature rises, the cells at the ends of the roots begin to divide more actively, which leads to the elongation of the roots. Cutting the stems has no effect on this process. In addition, scientists conducted experiments with genetically modified plants that had a disrupted system for responding to high temperatures in the stem. Even in these "defective" plants, the roots still responded to temperature, confirming their independent reaction.

Biochemical analyzes have shown that as soil temperatures rise, roots begin to produce more of a growth hormone known as auxin. This hormone travels to the root tip, where it stimulates cell division and promotes cell elongation, allowing roots to penetrate cooler, wetter soil layers. "High temperature and drought usually go hand in hand, so it's natural for plants to tend to go deeper, where there's more moisture," explains Prof Quint. It is possible that plants also exchange chemical signals through their roots, communicating changes with neighboring plants.

With an increase in temperature, auxins are also synthesized in the stem, but the reaction of plants to them is completely different. In response to the hormone, plants elongate their cells, making stems and leaves thinner and narrower to minimize moisture loss. Understanding these mechanisms will make it possible to better predict how climate change may affect the plant world, especially agriculture, on which the productivity of crops and, consequently, the food security of mankind depends.

Understanding the mechanisms by which plants respond to temperature changes is of great importance for the development of sustainable agronomic practices and plant varieties that can effectively adapt to climate change. For example, crops with improved ability to perceive and respond to temperature can make more efficient use of available resources such as water and nutrients, which can help reduce the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture.

A closer examination of the relationship between plant roots and temperature will help expand our knowledge of plant physiology and adaptive capacities. This will enable the development of innovative methods of tillage, irrigation management and plant breeding that are resilient to climate change, and contribute to the development of sustainable and productive agriculture in the future.
