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 ... >>

Dangerous sequins 29.11.2017

According to environmentalists, small sticky sequins are very polluting the planet, especially the oceans.

"I think glitter should be banned because it's a microplastic," said Dr. Trisia Farrelly of New Zealand's Massey University.

Microplastics are particles of plastic less than five millimeters in length. Shiny microparticles attract animals that eat these dangerous objects. A study by marine biology professor Richard Thompson showed that pieces of plastic were found in every third fish caught in the UK, which means that they also ended up on the tables of the British.

"I was extremely upset when my daughter was given a shower gel with sparkles. After all, this means that they will fall into the sewers, which means they could potentially end up in the ocean," said marine biologist Richard Thompson, who coined and coined the term " microplastics" in 2004.

The UK is expected to ban glitter products in 2018. In most kindergartens in the country, the ban is already in effect. In the US, only seven states have bans on the use and sale of products like facial scrubs and shower gels that use microplastics.
