While the basics of brewing beer have always been the same throughout history, re-brewing brings out the bold flavors of ancient beers centuries before the use of hops, while also imparting Gain useful lessons for brewers today.

Starting in 2016, Mr. Rupp has overseen Avery Brewing’s Ales of Antiquity line, spanning both time and geography. One of the ancient world’s brew recipes, called Nestor’s Cup, is based on a recipe from around 1600-1100 BC and includes barley, Einkorn wheat, acorn powder, and figs. and elderberries. Mr. Rupp also recreated a 900-year-old South American corn beer called “chicha,” which almost got him fired because of the unique element of the fermentation process, w

Those who follow the video game industry closely will almost immediately recognize the name of a particular company: Embracer Group. Five years ago this company began to be in the news due to its strategy of constantly buying different studios, but since last year it has been starring in other types of news, since Embracer Group It is the name most associated with the waves of layoffs that have been hitting gaming. Now the company announced a drastic change in its structure, since it will no longer be Embracer Group and will be divided into three different companies.

The news was announced through a statement published by the company where they explain what this separation ent

Scientists in Japan have for the first time transmitted data at a speed of 100 gigabits per second in a high-frequency wavelength range over a distance of 90m.

This data transfer speed is equivalent to wirelessly streaming five HD movies per second and is up to 500 times faster than average T-Mobile 5G speeds in the US.

The results of the new tests, just released, show that the corporation’s wireless equipment transmitted data at 100 Gbps indoors on the 100 gigahertz (GHz) band and outdoors on the 300 GHz band – lies

Elon Musk recently announced on X-formerly-known-as-Twitter that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink had implanted the “first” “chip” in a test subject and that he was doing well after the operation. In another tweet, Musk said the patient had successfully moved “a mouse” — by which he meant a cursor on a screen. Musk and Neuralink’s stated goal: “Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer”. There is no evidence for Musk’s claims and the news value of these Musk messages is almost zero because:

Quite apart from the fact that the only source for the claims is Musk himself, these alleged advances in brain-computer interface technology (BCI for short) are old hat. As noted brain researcher Anil Seth notes in his Guardian article about whether we should all have chips put into our heads: Neuralink is a newcomer to the field and the first cursors on screens were mind-controlled back in the 1990s . The actual innovation from Musk’s company, a surgical robot that uses the brain implants, remains completely obscure in recent reports and neuroscientists are expressing concern.

It’s obvious why Elon Musk is working on BCI technology with Neuralink: The technology is making rapid progress (even without Musk) and an automated implantation machine with BCI and surgical robot promises gigantic profits. In the last 12 months alone, neuroscientists working with artificial intelligence have: made a paraplegic man walk again, while another paraplegic patient was able to use his arms again and feel with his hands; allowing a woman paralyzed after a stroke to speak again with a “brain-to-text (…) rate of 78 words a minute”; Reconstructing music from brain activity or reconstructing images from visual cortex activity. In previous years, digital “telepathy” had already been made possible and the brains of three patients could be connected to form a neuro-network.

GOOD! So sunny! In the first two episodes, some viewers noticed that I was tanned.

In Taiwan, the sun never fails. Advertisements for whitening and sunscreen can be seen everywhere in the market, but why do we get sunburned from the sun? But it seems you’ve never heard of sunburn caused by a fluorescent lamp?

In fact, this is also related to quantum mechanics and is closely related to our topic today.

We discussed previously the starting point of the quantum concept in history. Next, we will explain in more detail how the quantum concept was developed and the story of this man.

In the process of development of quantum mechanics, the study of the photoelectric effect constitutes a very important turning point.

The photoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon that when light or electromagnetic waves above a certain frequency are irradiated on a specific material, it emits electrons.

By the end of the 19th century, scientists had already discovered a strange phenomenon: irradiating a negatively charged metal plate with light (especially ultraviolet light) will cause the negative charge on the metal plate to disappear. But at the time, they didn’t know the principle. They only speculated that the surrounding gas might help the negatively charged particles leave the metal plate under the irradiation of ultraviolet light.

So in 1899, the famous British physicist JJ Thomson placed a zinc plate in low-pressure mercury gas and irradiated it with ultraviolet light to study how the gaseous mercury helped the zinc plate release negative charges . charges and followed it in particles similar to those discovered in radiation studies two years earlier (1897).

They are tiny negatively charged particles about a thousand times lighter than hydrogen atoms, which we call electrons today.

In 1902, the German physicist Leonard discovered that even in a vacuum glass tube, as long as light above a certain frequency is irradiated, a current passes between the two poles. The size of the current is proportional to the intensity of the light and. the light will also disappear instantly. After removal, the current will disappear instantly.

At this point, the concept of the photoelectric effect as we know it is fully formed.

Looks like there’s nothing wrong here? However, without using current quantum theory and relying solely on the physical knowledge of the time, it would be difficult to perfectly explain the photoelectric effect. Because according to traditional theory, the energy of light should be related to the intensity of light, not the frequency of light.

If light transfers energy to electrons and allows them to escape the metal plate, then why must light above a certain frequency be effective? For example, if we irradiate ultraviolet rays and infrared rays with the same intensity, we will find that only the metal plate irradiated by ultraviolet rays will generate current. Additionally, when the frequency of ultraviolet light is higher, the energy of the electrons is greater.

On the other hand, if we illuminate a metal plate with very high intensity infrared rays, we will find that no current will be generated anyway. But if it is ultrav
