Offshore hydrogen production

05.06.2022

Germany plans to invest in research into the possibility of producing hydrogen on the high seas.

It is planned to invest 2 billion euros in the research of hydrogen technologies in the production of electricity at offshore wind farms over four years.

To implement its plan, Germany is going to strengthen cooperation with Australia.

"The idea is that in just a few years ships would be transporting green hydrogen from solar and wind energy from Australia to Germany," said German Education and Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger.

According to the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of this country, the total amount of government investment in the development of the hydrogen industry over the past three years has exceeded 1,5 billion Australian dollars ($1,1 billion).

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Smartphone charges in 10 minutes and lasts all day 05.10.2013

The Japanese operator Softbank announced the smartphone Arrows A 301F, capable of working all day after charging for 10 minutes.

The Fujitsu-manufactured Arrows A 301F features a 5-inch 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP camera, and 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded with microSD cards. The smartphone has a fingerprint scanner on the back. The battery capacity is 2600 mAh. The smartphone runs on the operating system Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The battery life of the model from a fully charged battery is 3 days, according to Softbank. The operator did not specify how one day of battery life from 10 minutes of charge is provided. Arrows A 301F probably has Quick Charge 2.0 technology.

Introduced in February 2.0, Quick Charge 2013 technology can significantly reduce the time it takes to charge mobile devices, charging up to 75% faster than devices that do not have this technology.

Quick Charge 2.0 is a separate controller or a controller as part of the Snapdragon 800 family processor power supply circuit. It is necessary that the technology is supported not only by the smartphone, but also by the charger. Softbank clarified that the smartphone comes with a new charger.

Qualcomm plans to make Quick Charge technology as widespread as possible by adding it to almost all manufactured chargers that connect to smartphones via micro-USB.
