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, ... >>

Why do dinosaurs have a long neck 10.09.2000

Both artists and filmmakers usually depict long-necked lizards - diplodocus in the pose of a giraffe, when the giant stretches its small head to the tops of trees, eating juicy foliage and other gifts of flora. But is this how these communities were fed?

Two researchers from the University of Oregon (USA) argue that dinosaurs fed in a completely different way, and their long necks did not serve them in order to get food sent by nature "from above". It is likely that the computer model created by scientists will help put an end to the protracted paleontological dispute.

Previously, it was believed that, for example, sauropods had a curved neck, and they carried their heads high above the ground. There was a dispute about how the blood supply to the giant's head was carried out. One of the hypotheses even said that such lizards had several hearts, which by common efforts raised blood to a great height. Now, however, computer simulations have shown that long-necked lizards were most comfortable holding their necks parallel to the ground, even slightly lower, with a gentle slope forward. The head was as if drooping and almost touched the ground with its nose.

In addition, the necks turned out to be much flimsier than previously thought. Diplodocus, for example, barely had the strength to raise his head, but Apatosaurus could hardly move his head either in a vertical or horizontal plane. Therefore, it is unlikely that these colossus ate like modern giraffes - they rather grazed in the manner of cows. In this case, the question arises: if long necks were not needed for eating the tops of trees, then why are they so long?

There is a hypothesis according to which these giants lived mainly in water, where the law of Archimedes lightened their weight. Then a long neck was needed for breathing.
