Who was Seneca?

Lucius Annius Seneca (c. 4-65) is one of the most famous philosophers of Ancient Rome. He was the teacher of the future emperor Nero. During his monstrous reign, Nero understood that the very personality of Seneca, who always embodied the norm and prohibition for him, was an obstacle in his path. Therefore, Nero, the murderer of his mother Agrippina, ordered Seneca to commit suicide.

What is the most famous comet?

Comets are bodies made up of rock fragments and frozen gases that evaporate near the Sun. These gases form a tail, which is visible in the sky with the naked eye.

Together, the comets of the solar system have a total mass less than the mass of the Earth. They fly at a speed of about 1200 km/h. And the most famous of them, of course, is Halley's Comet. It returns to the Sun and is observed every 76 years. It was first noticed 2500 years ago, and the last time - in 1986.

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. ... >>

Scientists have increased the speed of bipolar transistors 27.09.2006

British researchers from the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton in the UK have proposed a new technology that could theoretically double the speed of bipolar transistors compared to existing solutions.

The technique, developed under the guidance of Professor Peter Ashburn, is to modify the standard manufacturing process for bipolar transistors by adding a fluorine impurity. Fluorine impurity is used to limit the diffusion of boron in the base of the transistor. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the thickness of the base, which makes it possible to increase the speed of the electrons.

According to the researchers, during the experiments they managed to achieve a frequency of 110 GHz, which is twice the previous record for bipolar transistors. The scientists emphasize that with some technology improvements, boron diffusion in the base can be reduced by another 50 percent. Bipolar transistors are widely used in electronic circuits for mobile phones and wireless networking equipment.

The practical application of the proposed technique will allow you to create significantly faster devices with a slight increase in production costs, notes Physorg.
