B flat black hole

01.04.2004

Astronomers at the University of Cambridge (England), studying a giant cloud of gas surrounding the cluster of galaxies in the constellation Perseus, 250 million light-years from Earth, found concentric circles in this cloud.

These densified and rarefied regions of gas are only visible in the X-ray range (heated gas generates X-rays).

In essence, the researchers say, we are seeing ultra-low sound emitted by a black hole that sits at the center of a cloud of gas. This is a B-flat note, it is 57 octaves below the middle octave audible to the human ear.

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, ... >>

eGPU Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5500 XT and eGPU Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5700 Docks 03.01.2021

Sonnet Technologies has launched the Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5500 XT eGPU and Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5700 eGPU docking stations, which use AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT and AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards, respectively. Thunderbolt 3 is used to connect to a computer.

Replacing the discontinued eGFX Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 560 and Radeon RX 570 eGPUs, the new models retain their portable form factor but provide over four times the performance in many cases. In addition, the new models received two USB 3.2 Type-A ports for connecting peripherals and a second Thunderbolt port with support for Thunderbolt / USB-C monitors, including Apple Pro Display XDR 6K resolution.

The Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5500 XT and Radeon RX 5700 eGPU docking stations are designed for professionals who need to run graphics-intensive applications on an Intel-based MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Both models support the simultaneous connection of up to three 4K@60Hz displays (four with an adapter sold separately) or one 6K display and two 4K displays. Supporting USB Power Delivery technology, they can provide up to 60 watts of power to the load. The dimensions of the docks are approximately 152 x 130 x 52 mm.

The Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5500 XT eGPU is $600 and the Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 5700 eGPU is $900.
