Why did the Porsche 901 have to be renamed 911?

The Porsche 911 was originally released under the index 901. The number had to be changed after an objection from Peugeot, which claimed that it owns the rights to a way of naming models for the mass market with three digits with a zero in the middle. At the same time, Peugeot's claims did not apply to Porsche racing models, such as the 907 or 908.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Honda is phasing out diesel cars 27.09.2019

Japanese automaker Honda has announced that it is going to completely stop selling diesel versions of its cars in Europe as early as 2021. The announcement comes just months after the company announced plans to switch the European market to exclusively hybrid and electric models by 2025.

Initially, Honda planned to increase the share of electric vehicles and hybrids in the structure of its European sales to 66% by 2025. However, the EU's negative attitude towards dieselgate has markedly reduced the popularity of "dirty" cars and increased the popularity of greener cars accordingly. Also, the situation was influenced by new, more stringent emission standards, which force manufacturers to underestimate the power and dynamics of internal combustion engines in order to meet the standards.

Apparently, with the help of the statement about the imminent end of diesel engines, Honda decided to abstract from the automakers involved in the "dieselgate". The company already has a serial Honda e electric car, the sale of which will start in the summer of 2020, and it will also not be too big a problem to offer hybrid versions in the European market, so there is no need to talk about significant losses for the automaker.

In recent years, almost all major automakers have announced plans to gradually abandon the development and production of internal combustion engines. Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) did this recently, Volkswagen did it at the end of last year, Volvo did it even earlier, and so on.

In turn, similar statements are made by cities and entire countries, including India, Denmark, Sweden, Israel, the Netherlands, China, Germany, Great Britain, France, Norway, etc.
