Which animal has human fingerprints?

In addition to primates, koalas have papillary lines on their fingers. Koala fingerprints are very similar to human ones - they are difficult to distinguish even under an electron microscope.

Which continental body of water is the deepest on Earth?

The deepest continental body of water on Earth is Lake Baikal, located in the Asian part of Russia, in the south of Eastern Siberia.

Baikal occupies the first place in the world not only in depth (up to 1620 meters), but also in terms of the volume of fresh water in it (23 thousand cubic kilometers). About 1/5 of the world's fresh water reserves are concentrated in Baikal.

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, ... >>

Renesas RX130 microcontrollers with touch control support 14.12.2015

Renesas Electronics has announced the release of the RX32 family of 130-bit touch-enabled microcontrollers. The areas of their application are household appliances, building automation, industrial automation, portable medical devices.

According to the manufacturer, RX130 microcontrollers make it possible to implement the actual control functions and user interface with the help of a single microcontroller.

Support for capacitive sensors allows the use of touch buttons made of various materials, which can be very useful in environments where the use of traditional buttons for some reason is not possible. In industrial electronics, gloved input recognition may be required, and in the case of home appliances, designers have more freedom of expression to make devices look attractive.

Up to 64 touch buttons can be detected depending on the model and mode. At the same time, no more than 10% of the CPU computing resource is spent on actually working with sensors, so RX130 microcontrollers are suitable for quite demanding applications. Other advantages of the RX130 include low power consumption.

Introductory samples of the RX130 are available now. Serial deliveries should begin in March 2016.
