Who managed to cross the Atlantic Ocean on foot and tried to cross the Pacific?

In 1988, Frenchman Remy Brikat crossed the Atlantic Ocean on foot. Five-meter fiberglass pontoons were tied to his feet, he helped himself only with an oar, and behind him pulled a raft with equipment, a desalination plant and fishing accessories. Starting from the Canary Islands, the traveler wanted to reach Guadeloupe, but, emaciated and hallucinating, was picked up by a trawler near Trinidad - nevertheless, the Guinness Book of Records credited him with a record. In 2000, Brika set an even more ambitious goal - to pass the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles to Sydney in the same way. However, he had to ask for help and end the journey 500 miles south of Hawaii ahead of schedule, as a severe storm capsized the raft and damaged navigational equipment.

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. ... >>

Atomic transistor 26.09.2005

British physicists have made a transistor controlled by a single atom.

A transistor is an electronic device with three pins. Two of them are included in the electric current transmission network, and a control signal is applied to the third, which either allows the current to flow between the first two, or prohibits it.

As physicists from the University of Liverpool, led by Professor Werner Hofer, have shown, such a device can be built from a molecule and a single atom.

To do this, a layer of hydrogen atoms was applied to the surface of a silicon wafer, and it became an insulator. Then styrene molecules were placed on it, which lined up in lines up to hundreds of nanometers long. Next, hydrogen was pulled from one of the silicon atoms located next to such a line, and an electric charge formed on it. After that, it only remained to attach two probes of an atomic force microscope to the ends of the molecule and pass a current between them.

It turned out that by varying the charge on silicon, it is possible to change the current strength tenfold.
