What requirements must a Formula 1 racing car meet?

Formula 1 cars must be equipped with a four-stroke engine with a cylinder capacity of not more than 3000 cm³. There should be no more than 12 such cylinders. Each cylinder should have no more than five valves. The minimum weight of the car with driver is 600 kg. It is prescribed to have a multiple starter, a duplicated brake system (one for all four wheels) and an emergency one for the front wheels, an open driver's seat with a seat belt. Wheels should not have additional lining. However, the rules in this form are constantly changing, this applies to engines and tires.

When did banks appear?

Today, banks provide such a variety of services that we forget that the bank actually has two main goals. Firstly, the bank accepts deposits from people and keeps them at home, and secondly, it lends to those who agree to pay interest.

Since the activity of the bank is connected with money, there were times when people did not approve of it. Showing an interest in money was considered immoral, and there were even countries that forbade their citizens to do anything with banks.

Nevertheless, banking is as old as history itself. Banks existed in ancient Babylon, Egypt and Greece. Usually temples were the place where people took their money for safekeeping. In 210 BC. e. a special decree in Rome, in the Forum, set aside a place for money changers.

Money was lent on bail in ancient Babylon. There were money changers in the city-states of ancient Greece (c. 700 BC). The mention of medieval banks refers to the XII century.

The very word "bank" originated in Italy. In the Middle Ages, money changers sat on the benches and streets of cities. In Italian, the word "banco" meant "bench", hence the modern word "bank".

The modern banking system first emerged in Venice in 1587, when the "Banco di Rialto" was organized. It accepted deposits and allowed depositors to write checks for a certain amount. In 1619, Banco del Giro took over the bank and began to issue receipts for deposits in gold and silver. These receipts began to be used as money. The "Bank of Amsterdam", organized in 1609, also gave receipts, which became known as "bank money".

In England, until 1694, jewelers acted as bankers, until the Bank of England was created. It was the only bank in England until 1825. America's first bank was the North American Bank, created by Congress in 1782.

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. ... >>

3D printing inside the human body 20.06.2020

More and more work in our time is focused on the creation of human organs using 3D printing. However, such body parts must be implanted through relatively large incisions. New bio-ink technology will allow "growing" organs inside the human body.

There are already different types of bio-inks in the world. As a rule, it is a liquid containing living cells, scaffold material and growth factors that encourage cells to multiply on the scaffold material, gradually turning it into a biological tissue.

Such bio-ink is "squeezed out" from the nozzle of a 3D printer, creating organs outside the body, layer by layer. In many cases, they harden under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. Unfortunately, these rays are harmful to the patient's tissues. The new bio-ink developed by American scientists works differently.

Fluid is delivered from a thin tip of a robotic nozzle that is surgically inserted into the patient's body through a small incision. To hold each strand of bio-ink in place, the nozzle makes a small niche in the patient's soft tissues and then places a clot of fluid into this space, which serves as an anchor. When the nozzle is removed, it places another anchor on the outside of the fabric. The scientists also say it's important to note that such a material does not require UV radiation in order to harden.

Researchers believe that in the future this substance can be used to create parts of the body such as blood vessels or spinal discs. However, now the material can be used as a "plaster" for damaged or defective organs.
