What lifeforms can withstand hundreds of thousands of g's?

Japanese scientists studied bacteria in an ultracentrifuge and found that some of their species are capable of not only surviving under gravity at 403 g, but also continuing to grow. These bacteria include Paracoccus denitrificans and the well-known Escherichia coli. The results of the experiment can be considered as another argument in favor of the theory of panspermia, which suggests that life on our planet was brought from outer space on some celestial body.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How did ads and advertisements come about?

To advertise means to give people some information. It can be a message about a product, about services and offers, and even about putting someone's name in public. Announcements arose naturally and from the very beginning were of the most diverse kind. For example, papyri have been found promising rewards for escaped slaves. They are three millennia old, but these are real announcements. Signs announcing the services offered were placed on the doors of houses in Greece and Egypt almost five thousand years ago. This is also a type of ad.

With the invention of printing devices, advertisements began to appear in a new form. Around 1477 in London, the first printed advertisement in English announced the sale of a prayer book. The first newspaper advertisement appeared on the back page of a London newspaper in 1625.

In the United States, the first paid advertisements were printed in 1704. By 1771, 31 newspapers were being published in the colonies, and all of them printed advertisements. It is known that today advertisements are printed not only in newspapers, but are also broadcast on radio and television.

The first commercial information was heard on the radio around 1920. Commercial information on television was fully established only after the Second World War. This idea quickly spread, and today advertising shown on television is so close to all of us that many remember it better than any productions and films.

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, ... >>

Laptops with HDD will disappear from stores in Western Europe 20.02.2020

The decline in the price of SSDs has reached a level beyond which it makes no sense to think about configuring a laptop with an HDD as the main drive. A significant role in this was played by a two-year decline in prices for flash memory. Therefore, by the end of the year, new models of laptops with HDD will no longer be on sale. But this forecast is only for Western Europe.

According to data from analyst firm Context, SSD usage as the main drive in new PCs reached 2019% in Q90,6 9,4. This applies to laptops, desktops and workstations, as reported by sources from sales channels in Western Europe. Therefore, hard drives could only be found in XNUMX% of systems shipped and sold in this region.

The volume of laptops with SSD drives sold during this period reached 93,3%. By comparison, in 2017, only 66,7% of mobile systems had an SSD as primary storage. Surprisingly, SSD adoption in desktop systems has also proven to be on point. If in 2017 SSDs were installed as the main ones in 48,5% of desktops, then in the fourth quarter of 2019 the share of such configurations increased to 82%.

The fastest hard drives are washed out of computers in the "Nordic" countries. Thus, by the end of 2019, only 2% of new systems with hard drives were sold in the Netherlands. They are followed by Germany, where SSDs were in 93,4% of systems (6,7% with HDDs). The United Kingdom completes the top three with a share of computers with HDDs at the level of 9,9% of systems. In southern Europe, this trend is slower. There, the share of systems with SSD averaged 85%.

This was a consequence of the sharp decrease in the cost of storing one gigabyte of data on SSD in 2019. This allowed vendors to sell SSD configurations at competitive prices, Context analysts report. On the other hand, online storage services are becoming cheaper and the use of online streaming services is becoming more common, which reduces the need for high-capacity local storage.

Last but not least, consumers have tasted the benefits of SSDs and are willing to pay extra for them. On these grounds, analysts predict that by the end of 2020 there will be no more new laptops with HDD in Western Europe. Most likely, by the end of 2021 there will be no desktop PCs with hard drives. At the same time, we recall that we are talking about drives for loading the system and applications. As secondary drives, hard drives won't disappear from the scene anytime soon.
