How much thermonuclear energy can be obtained from a liter of ordinary water?

A liter of ordinary water contains approximately 0,03 grams of the isotope of hydrogen - deuterium. By separating it from water and using it as a fuel for a thermonuclear reaction, you can get as much energy as burning 300 liters of gasoline.

The reserves of deuterium on Earth are enough to provide humanity with energy for about a billion years. It remains only to solve the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion.

Where did the standard of soil fertility stored in Paris come from?

In 1900, the Russian naturalist V.V. Dokuchaev sent a cube (1x1x1 meter) of chernozem carved from the feather grass steppe near Voronezh to the World Exhibition in Paris.

The Voronezh black soil became one of the main exhibits of the exhibition, received a gold medal and was recognized as the "king of soils". Subsequently, it was identified as a standard of soil fertility and placed in the International Chamber of Weights and Measures in Paris, where it is still kept.

The content of humus (a complex of high-molecular organic substances containing the main elements of plant nutrition) in this soil reaches 14-16 percent.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Controllers for digital control of power supplies 29.07.2007

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), continuing to expand its range of digital signal processors (DSP), announced the start of mass production of digital signal processors TMS320F28044 and F2809.

These 32-bit controllers have a performance of 100 MIPS and are ideal for digital power management, motor drive control and information acquisition applications. The F28044 controller allows power system designers to move towards software-based digital control of power supplies.

This controller is designed to organize multi-channel power supply for point-of-load devices, for example, in telecommunications and network equipment, servers, laptops and industrial equipment. Based on the F2809 controllers, due to the presence of a large set of I / O devices and peripheral communication devices, it is possible to create industrial control systems with a high degree of integration.
