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 ... >>

Stem cells for muscle regeneration 22.09.2016

Myodystrophy - hereditary diseases in which degradation of muscle tissue occurs - is incurable at the current stage of development of medicine. Methods of tissue engineering using stem cells give hope that the disease will be defeated in the future. To do this, you need to learn how to grow muscle stem cells, so that later they can be transplanted into the patient and cause the regeneration of his skeletal muscles.

Such cells grow extremely reluctantly in culture, but they readily die during transplantation, giving few muscle cells. Therefore, researchers are looking for a cocktail of substances that would make the reproduction of muscle stem cells reliable. The same question worries those who hope to grow meat products from animal stem cells.

Another attempt was made by Japanese researchers from the National Center for Neurology and Psychiatry in Kodaira, led by Dr. Takeda Shinishi. They treated satellite muscle stem cells with a substance from the group of cytokines, the so-called leukemia inhibitory factor - LIF. And when such cells were planted in an experimental mouse, they gave three times more muscle tissue than in the control (in the photo, the new cells glow brightly).

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experience showing the effectiveness of LIF in muscle regeneration," says Dr. Takeda. "However, the mechanism of action of the factor is still unknown."
