Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How was electricity theft legally assessed 100 years ago?

In 1899, a court in Hannover, Germany, had to decide whether the illegal appropriation of electricity constituted theft or not?

Engineer Genke, who was at the central electric station, secretly charged two small batteries from the owner and sold them. The court did not find him guilty, although it was proved that the accused had stolen electrical energy from someone else's installation.

In its reasoning, the court indicated that one can speak of theft only when the matter concerns the unlawful appropriation of someone else's property, a movable object, but electricity cannot in any case be considered a movable thing, and it cannot even be said whether electric current can be recognized as a "thing".

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Transfer of solar energy from orbit to Earth 02.01.2022

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the military-industrial company Northrop Grumman conducted the first demonstration of key industrial-scale power generation equipment in Earth orbit.

In 2018, AFRL awarded Northrop Grumman a $100 million contract to develop key components of a prototype space power grid.

The company's engineers have begun to create sheet panels, which should be the main elements of the massive Arachne program, which aims to ensure uninterrupted power transmission to military bases located in remote regions.

To do this, solar panels in orbit will convert solar energy into radio frequencies and transmit to ground stations. There it will be captured and converted back into electricity by special rectifying antennas, or rectens.

Sandwich solar panels are a key component of this technology, since their presence eliminates the need for heavy external batteries.
