Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Rearview Mirror with Android 20.01.2014

Pioneer, a Japanese auto electronics manufacturer, and Robin Labs, which develops a voice assistance system based on Yahoo! services, demonstrated a "smart" rear-view mirror. One of the features of the novelty is that the device has a pre-installed Android operating system. The demonstration of the device, which was called Drive Agent Mirror, took place during the CES 2014 exhibition, held in January this year in Las Vegas.

The device is somewhat longer and wider than a conventional car interior mirror. On its left side is a small touch screen that merges with the remaining mirror part when turned off and can be used to view the road behind the car.

At the same time, in the active mode, Drive Agent Mirror can act as an infotainment system, navigator and voice-controlled digital assistant. On the basis of voice commands, the calculation of the time for movement within the laid route, the formation of the most optimal path, taking into account road conditions, etc., are performed. Speech recognition is carried out using Robin Labs technology. According to unconfirmed information, this company is developing a Siri competitor for Yahoo!

Pioneer believes that because drivers are constantly looking in the rear-view mirror to monitor the traffic behind the car, navigation and entertainment functions in the interior mirror are much more convenient than, for example, on the head unit located on the center console. The developers believe that Drive Agent Mirror distracts the driver from driving to a lesser extent.

So far, only a prototype of a saloon mirror with Android OS has been demonstrated. When the device will appear in free sale, and how much it will cost, is not reported.

It is worth noting that several automakers have already thought about using the Android OS in auto electronics. As previously reported in the media, Kia Soul and Hyundai Genesis cars by the end of 2013 should receive multimedia systems running Google's mobile OS. Google Corporation recently announced the creation of the "Open Automobile Alliance", which will integrate mobile technologies based on Android into automotive systems. The alliance included Honda Motor, Audi, Hyundai Motor, General Motors, and GPU maker Nvidia.
