Computer speed - 100 km/h

04.01.2022

The Japanese company Sega (video game publisher) has created the fastest computer in the world. The Sega computer can not only handle any game, but it can also drive at high speed - in design it resembles a small remote-controlled racing kart. Sega tested its creation on the race track and it turned out that it accelerates to a speed of 100 km/h. After testing on the race track, the computer remained unscathed and continued to work.

Sega has joined forces with Intel and ASRock to create this computer. A truly powerful gaming PC is packed into a compact package, assembled from the following components: Intel Core i9-12900K processor (12th generation Alder Lake, 16 cores, frequency up to 5,2 GHz), ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT OC Formula 16GB graphics card , 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD.

Sega timed this project to coincide with the New Year's sale of games on the Steam service, where games from this publisher are presented. Sega has launched a contest among subscribers on social networks and the lucky one will be able to win this unique PC, however, only in Japan.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Sony a42 II full frame 99MP camera 23.09.2016

Four years after the release of the SLT-A99 full-frame camera, Sony introduced its second generation. The presentation took place in Cologne as part of the international exhibition Photokina 2016 and was timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Alpha series of digital cameras.

The novelty is built on the basis of a 42,4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS matrix with backlighting and without an optical low-pass filter. The autofocus system in the Sony a99 II is based on 4D Focus technology and involves the use of 79 classic phase detection autofocus points plus 399 additional phase detection autofocus points located directly on the matrix. Another feature of the Sony SLT-A99 II is a 4,5-axis sensor-shift optical image stabilization system with an efficiency of XNUMX fps as measured by CIPA.

The Sony a99 II's camcorder capabilities include support for the XAVC S codec, 4K resolution, and 100 Mbps bitrate. When recording 4K video, the entire area of \u35b\u1,8bthe matrix is used, but Super XNUMX mode is also available, in which only the central part of the sensor is read using XNUMXx oversampling.

A wide range of video editing tools are available to the operator, including overexposed zebra patterns, S-Log2 and S-Log3 profiles, and uncompressed 4:2:2 chroma subsampling output via HDMI.

Among other characteristics of the second generation Sony SLT-A99, we note a new shutter with a declared service life of 300 operations, burst speed up to 000 frames per second, an OLED-matrix-based viewfinder with XGA resolution (12 x 1024), a magnification factor of 768x and lenses with ZEISS T* coating, as well as a sensitivity range from ISO 0,78 to 100, expandable to ISO 25-600. In addition, the camera boasts an 50% smaller footprint, a new handle design, a dust and water resistant magnesium alloy body, and dual SD card slots.

The model will go on sale in November at a price of $3200 per carcass.
