Invisible system to protect bicycles from theft

17.12.2021

Students from Dnipro, Ukraine have created a device that prevents bike theft. With it, two-wheelers can track the whereabouts of the bike and attempts to steal it.

Six students from Dnipro National University have developed an invisible WheelKeep system that protects bicycles from theft. It consists of a special module that is inserted into the steering column of the vehicle and a mobile application. When someone tries to take a bike without the owner's permission, a special push notification will be sent to the cyclist's mobile phone. Also in the application, you can track the location of the two-wheeled vehicle.

In November, young developers won a grant Ukrainian Startup Fund - They placed second among 13 teams on USF Pitch Day 33.

Fourth-year students of the Faculty of Physics, Electronics and Computer Systems Pavel German and Oleksandr Yatsenko, Faculty of Applied Mathematics Roman Kvirikadze and Andrey Dergach, Faculty of Ukrainian and Foreign Philology and Art History Ilya Volkov, Faculty of Physics and Technology Yegor Lyapin are working on the project.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

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, ... >>

AmberSemi digital chip for direct AC to DC conversion 14.03.2023

Amber Semiconductor (AmberSemi) announced that it has completed the design of a digital chip for direct AC-to-DC conversion. The patented technology represents a huge global opportunity to revolutionize the way energy is delivered to every end electrical device. One tiny chip will replace the large transducer block and free up that space for something more useful.

Today, a variety of devices from simple smoke detectors to consumer and computing electronics rely on AC power for power.

Each time, bulky AC/DC converter circuits are created to convert AC to DC, which is necessary to power low-power electronics. The AmberSemi chip greatly simplifies the circuitry of such blocks, reducing the number of sufficiently significant discrete elements by at least half. The freed up space can be used either to reduce the size of devices, or to increase its capabilities by adding new functions.

The new chip has not yet been released in silicon. Only its digital design is ready.

Now the company is engaged in the production of photomasks to launch the solution in mass production.
