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, ... >>

Kaveri also features DirectX 11.2 Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU architecture with Mantle API, AMD TrueAudio technology (32-channel surround sound for an ideal presence and immersion) and UltraHD (4K) support. It remains to be added that the new APUs are compatible with boards with an FM2+ processor socket.

Starting today, the AMD A10-7850K and AMD A10-7700K models are on sale. The AMD A8-7600 model will be on sale in the current quarter.

The AMD A10-7850K APU price is $173, AMD A10-7700K is $152, AMD A8-7600 is $119. The A10-7850K and A10-7700K models will ship with EA Battlefield 4.

All three models have quad-core CPUs and 4MB L10 cache, while the number of GPU cores is eight for the top model and six for the other two. The base frequency of the CPU in the case of AMD A7850-3,7K is 10 GHz, AMD A7700-3,4K - 8 and AMD A7600-3,3 - 3,1 / 4,0 GHz, the maximum Turbo Core frequency is 3,8 GHz, 3,8 .3,3 GHz and 95 / 95 GHz, and the TDP value is 65, 45 and 720/XNUMX W, respectively. GPU frequency - XNUMX MHz.
