How do emperor penguins cooperate to keep warm?

Emperor penguins cooperate to keep warm - they gather in dense groups, the temperature inside which can reach +35 °C at an ambient temperature of ?20 °C. In order for everyone to be on an equal footing, penguins constantly move from the center to the edge and back.

How does a CD work?

In contrast to gramophone records, on which the sound is recorded with an oscillating needle in the form of a thin groove, for recording on a CD, the sound is first digitized, and then, in the form of a microscopic size of "dots", is burned on the surface of a thin aluminum foil by a laser beam. During playback, the laser beam illuminates the disc, "reads" the set of recorded "dots", and then the signal is again converted into sound form.

There are also CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs for storing more information on them.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

DDR5-4400 memory module 06.05.2018

Cadence and Micron have jointly developed the world's first working DDR5-4400 memory module. The prototype uses Micron's 8Gb DRAM components, DDR5 memory controller, and physical layer interface chips designed by Cadence and manufactured by TSMC at 7nm standards.

The new DRAM chips are approximately 37,5% more effective than the fastest DDR4 memory available on the market. At the same time, the source clarifies that the developers are not focusing on speed, but on increasing the volume through the use of DDR5.

It is assumed that the DDR5 standard will simplify the production of chips with a density of 16 Gbps and a multi-layer layout. The move to finer process standards is needed to reduce latency, which becomes too high when fabricating 16Gb dies at 1X nm. Even in the case of the described prototype, the CAS value is 42. The supply voltage of 1,1 V is also a visible advantage of DDR5 over DDR4.

Cadence expects systems with DDR5 memory to hit the market next year. Most likely, these will be servers. DDR5-4400 modules will be followed by DDR5-6400 modules, but it will still be two years before DDR5 is really widely adopted. The DDR5 standard has not even been adopted yet. Its JEDEC approval is expected this summer. Meanwhile, Cadence plans to develop IP cores for LPDDR5 and HBM memory.
