The world's largest external display from Samsung

01.04.2023

Samsung Electronics has partnered with the New York Mets of Major League Baseball to deliver a huge digital display at Citi Field in New York. This screen is not only the largest in the world, but also bright, providing an unrivaled visual experience for everyone who attends stadium games.

With a massive 17400 square feet of LED screen, it's hard to miss. In addition to this giant, there is also a smaller 1616,5 square foot (approximately 6900 square meters) LED screen.

Since the fall of 2022, Samsung Electronics has installed more than 29,8 thousand square feet of new LED displays in the stadium, bringing the total number of pixels to a stunning 40 million.

Thanks to the new technology, fans will never miss a moment of action, no matter where they are in the stadium. The screens are capable of displaying the game in stunning 4K resolution, as well as scores, stats and other useful information.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Recyclable printed circuit boards 03.05.2024

Electronics play a key role in today's world, but the accompanying rise in e-waste is putting the environment at risk. In response to this problem, researchers at the University of Washington have developed an innovative technology that could change conventional wisdom about circuit board recycling. A team led by scientists from the University of Washington has created a vitrimer printed circuit board that has the unique ability to be recycled multiple times. Using advanced environmentally friendly polymers, the researchers developed a material that can be turned into a jelly-like substance using a special solvent. This opens the way for PCBs to be reused and recycled without significant loss of quality. Vitrimer printed circuit boards (vPCBs) represent significant advances in environmental sustainability. Unlike conventional plastics, which are susceptible to degradation during repeated recycling, jelly-like vitrimer retains its ... >>

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. ... >>

A new type of strange quasicrystals 17.01.2019

Physicists and chemists at Brown University have for the first time created a self-assembling quasi-crystal lattice, consisting of quantum dots of a strictly defined shape. Similar quasicrystalline lattices have already been described mathematically and calculated in the course of complex computer simulations more than once, but no one has previously been able to demonstrate their creation, as they say, live.

We remind our readers that crystals are structures consisting of homogeneous components and possessing symmetry in one or more spatial coordinates. In other words, if we take any section of the crystal and shift it to a certain distance along the axis of symmetry, then the structure of the shifted section will completely coincide with the structure of the "unshifted" section. Quasicrystals do not have such a symmetry, their components are arranged in space in an ordered manner, but the structure of a quasicrystal does not repeat itself.

The mathematical description of quasicrystals is quite easy to create, but, as previously thought, the creation of aperiodic crystal structures in reality is impossible. Some time ago, scientists have already observed signs of the existence of quasi-crystals in aluminum alloys that have gone through a complex process of synthesis and heat treatment, and this fact was the first confirmation of the possibility of their existence. At present, the fact of the existence of quasicrystals is considered already proven, and they are considered a new potentially useful type of material.

So let's get back to the material created at Brown University. Interestingly, scientists initially did not even think about quasicrystals, their task was to find new methods for building macrostructures from nanosized components. One of the types of components was a pyramidal quantum dot, a tetrahedral particle, about one nanometer in size. Preliminary calculations have shown that such a shape will allow "packing" in a certain volume of space a greater number of such particles than particles of a traditional spherical shape.

Tetrahedral particles had one more feature, they behaved and interacted with neighboring particles in different ways, depending on their current spatial orientation. And as a result of this, after a while, all the particles spontaneously ordered, creating a complex structure, which is known as a quasi-transparent superlattice.

Electron microscope studies of this structure have shown that the particles form decagonal patterns, united by a symmetry of a kind never found in traditional crystals. The only exception is the boundaries of the material, where, in order to optimally fill the space, the particles are combined into patterns with fewer corners.
