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, ... >>

European networks 100 Gbps 25.07.2013

Together with Japanese scientists, Europe plans to develop technologies for building local 100-gigabit networks and prepare the region for a multiple increase in Internet traffic in the coming years. The European Union and Japan have announced six joint projects, one of which is the STRAUSS project, dedicated to the development of fiber optic communication technologies that will allow operation at speeds up to 100 Gbps. This was reported on the website of the European Commission. In total, the volume of investments in all six projects will amount to 18 million euros.

"One of the projects is the construction of networks that will be 5 times faster on average compared to modern networks existing in Europe (providing data transfer speeds up to 19,7 Mbps)," the official statement says.

This is not about submarine cables that allow you to transfer data even at high speeds, but about networks that are as close as possible to ordinary households. In particular, the work will be devoted to the creation of inexpensive, fast and efficient in terms of power supply switches, software-oriented optical transmitters, and network management systems. The STRAUSS project is important for the development of the European economy, regulators say: from 2012 to 2013. the volume of data transmitted over networks has doubled, and by 2018 it will increase another 18 times. "To transfer such volumes, faster networks will be required," the statement said.

Today, some UK providers offer home connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps (the same as, for example, Google offers in the US as part of the Google Fiber project). The need for 100 Gbps does not yet exist, but these are needs that will arise over time, and Europe plans to prepare for them.

"In the future, the Internet should not know borders. At least the borders that have become the result of our slowness and unpreparedness," - said the Vice President of the European Commission Neelie Kroes (Neelie Kroes). Kroes has recently taken active steps to develop the European infrastructure: in May it announced its intention to significantly increase the output of semiconductor components in the region.

In addition, Europe and Japan are planning cooperation in the following areas: more efficient operation of radio frequencies; new mechanisms for protecting personal data in areas such as medicine; development of technologies for "smart" control of electrical networks, etc.
