What animals warned soldiers about a gas attack?

During the First World War, cats were kept in the trenches to provide early warning of a gas attack. And during the Second World War, they were taken aboard submarines as living air quality detectors.

Who lived on Olympus, and who lived on Parnassus?

Two Greek mountains served as the abode of mythical creatures. But if the gods lived on Olympus (they were called so - the Olympians), then Parnassus was considered the abode of the muses. Remember Pushkin!

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, ... >>

Renoir 7nm Desktop APUs - Ryzen 4000G, PRO 4000G and Athlon PRO 3000G 22.07.2020

AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 4000G APUs for the AM4 desktop platform, sister to the well-established 7nm Ryzen 4000-series mobile chips. They are intended for the OEM segment and will not be available in retail stores, but in the future AMD promises to release some models of new APUs for the DIY market (with boards based on AMD 400 and 500 series chipsets).

The Renoir desktop APUs use the same 7nm die as their mobile cousins, with eight Zen 2 physical cores, 8MB of L3 cache, and eight Compute Units (CU) graphics on the improved Vega architecture. But if mobile Renoirs run into a 35-watt TDP, then desktop counterparts raise the bar to 65 watts, operate at higher frequencies and, therefore, their performance level is higher.

Renoir desktop APUs officially support DDR4-3200 RAM (while AMD used faster DDR4-3600 memory in performance tests), the x86-core frequency reaches 4,4 GHz in the case of the flagship Ryzen 7 4700G model, and the integrated GPU runs at 1700- 2100 MHz depending on the model.

Also introduced are the Ryzen Pro 4000 and Athlon Pro 3000 APUs for business-class ready-made computers. They are related to consumer models (the characteristics are completely identical), but at the same time they have advanced support and security technologies (full encryption of RAM and AMD Pro feature set).
