Which animals use their body as a pillow?

Giraffes need no more than two hours of sleep a day, one of the lowest rates among mammals. They can sleep in a unique position - bending their neck and resting their head on their own croup, using it as a pillow.

What caused the death of a swindler who called herself Princess Tarakanova?

In the famous painting by Flavitsky "Princess Tarakanova" the heroine is depicted before her death during the St. Petersburg flood of 1777. However, the real swindler, who was called Princess Tarakanova and pretended to be the daughter of Elizabeth Petrovna and the sister of Emelyan Pugachev, died in captivity from consumption two years earlier.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

New Chipset for Class D Audio Amplifiers 15.06.2007

The new IR solution reduces PCB area in Class D audio amplifiers up to 50W by 500% and cuts the required number of power switches in half.

The chipset is designed for use in medium and high power audio amplifiers for home theaters, musical instruments, professional amplifiers and car radios. Using the IRS20955(S)(TR)PBF high and low level switch driver eliminates up to 27 external components from the circuit.

A high level of protection is provided by an integrated programmable bi-directional current feedback with automatic reset capability, which allows the high voltage IC to determine the exact current position on the switching cycle diagram and optimize the performance of the current protection loop. IC-integrated protection features save up to 11 circuit components.
