What are reliable brakes made of?

Brake discs made of silicon carbide, a ceramic material, should soon replace steel discs. In this case, the braking force will become easier to adjust. In addition, the new discs made of a material containing carbon and silicon are not only significantly lighter, but also harder and more resistant to corrosion than steel.

New discs can last up to 300 km without replacement.

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. ... >>

Soundbar LG S95QR 31.12.2021

LG has announced the S95QR soundbar with 9.1.5 sound configuration, support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and an interesting solution: the center channel is directed upwards so that the voice while watching a movie is reflected from the ceiling and clearly distinguished by the ear. The kit also comes with a wireless subwoofer and a pair of additional rear speakers.

The standard center channel and upward-firing speaker carry the same signal, and this solution improves the clarity of dialogue; similarly, one signal is carried by the corresponding side speakers of the soundbar and complete rear speakers - this configuration positively affects the depth of the immersive effect. The timing and delays of the speaker are adjusted automatically using the AI Room Calibration function. The total output power of the audio system is 810 watts.

The notable drawback of the soundbar was its inability to pass-through HDR video in 4K resolution at 120Hz. This means owners of an Xbox Series X or PS5, or 4K TVs with HDR panels, should avoid plugging the soundbar directly into the set-top box.

There is support for Google Assistant, Alexa and other voice assistants. Work is also supported with the LG Wowcast wireless module, which provides high-quality sound transmission in cases where a wired connection to the source cannot be established.
