Were airships used for military purposes?

Yes. The night raid on London on 19 January 1915 was the first air attack in history.

The war in the air continued later, but slow, gas-filled aircraft were too vulnerable, so they did not take a wide part in hostilities.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

edible drone 17.03.2023

Scientists from the University of Electrical Communications in Japan and the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne are developing drones with edible parts.

According to scientists, this will help deliver provisions to hard-to-reach areas during rescue operations.

Researchers have developed a working prototype of a flying drone that is half made from edible materials. The wings of the robot are made of rice crackers with gelatin. Their span is 700 millimeters. In addition, the drone is capable of carrying 80 grams of water and moving at a speed of 10 meters per second.

Scientists plan to develop devices in which about 75% of the parts will consist of edible elements. Thus, the drone will be able to deliver twice as much food.

In addition, scientists want to create similar robots for industrial production, where there is a high probability of metal particles getting into the final products. The researchers suggest replacing the manipulators with gelatin ones.
