Soundbar LG S95QR

31.12.2021

LG has announced the S95QR soundbar with 9.1.5 sound configuration, support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and an interesting solution: the center channel is directed upwards so that the voice while watching a movie is reflected from the ceiling and clearly distinguished by the ear. The kit also comes with a wireless subwoofer and a pair of additional rear speakers.

The standard center channel and upward-firing speaker carry the same signal, and this solution improves the clarity of dialogue; similarly, one signal is carried by the corresponding side speakers of the soundbar and complete rear speakers - this configuration positively affects the depth of the immersive effect. The timing and delays of the speaker are adjusted automatically using the AI Room Calibration function. The total output power of the audio system is 810 watts.

The notable drawback of the soundbar was its inability to pass-through HDR video in 4K resolution at 120Hz. This means owners of an Xbox Series X or PS5, or 4K TVs with HDR panels, should avoid plugging the soundbar directly into the set-top box.

There is support for Google Assistant, Alexa and other voice assistants. Work is also supported with the LG Wowcast wireless module, which provides high-quality sound transmission in cases where a wired connection to the source cannot be established.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

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 ... >>

Flight boots 21.04.2001

Moving around the space station in zero gravity, it would seem, is easy: you have to grab onto the walls and push off objects. But, having pushed off, it is no longer possible to slow down or change the direction of the flight, and at speeds developed in zero gravity, this can be dangerous.

American engineer Philip Watts and physiologist David Carrier propose to give astronauts the means for controlled zero-gravity navigation. If you stand on the scales, raise an umbrella above your head and start clapping it, opening and closing. At the moment the umbrella is closed, the scale will show a noticeable decrease in weight. This force of repulsion from the air in zero gravity will be enough for movement. But the umbrella is too bulky, and the suit with wings like a bat proved to be ineffective.

Since human legs are stronger than arms, the researchers suggest using mainly legs to fly around the station. A simple option is boots with elastic opening bells, which you can sort of run through the air, starting from it. For large and spacious space stations, a kind of bicycle with propellers rotated by pedals will be convenient. Both options are also good because they give the body a load, which is so necessary in conditions of weightlessness.

It is difficult to say whether the Americans know that Tsiolkovsky, almost a hundred years ago, proposed wings-fins powered by leg muscles for flights inside the space station.
