Nuwa Pen digitizes handwritten text in real time

22.05.2023

Nuwa Pen, developed by the Dutch startup of the same name, is an artificial intelligence ballpoint pen. It has built-in electronic elements, but retains the usual writing functions - for those who, in the era of computers and voice input, still prefer handwriting rather than typing on the keyboard.

The gadget is made in the format of a classic pen, but thanks to the electronic filling, it allows you to instantly digitize handwritten text. An important difference between the device and its analogues is that it can be written on ordinary paper, and not only on special paper. The pen was developed by a startup of the same name from the Netherlands.

It will be produced in an aluminum case with a length of 150 millimeters and involves the use of replaceable D1 format ink cartridges.
At the bottom there are three cameras and an IR LED so that the pen can be used in low light conditions.

The pen is powered by an Arm Cortex M4 chip and uses specially designed software to recognize text and transmit its digital version to a mobile application via the Bluetooth LE protocol. The information is stored on the company's server, and the pen itself has a built-in storage of 2 gigabytes. In the saved texts, you can find the necessary fragments, as well as share what you have written.

The developers plan to ensure the compatibility of the gadget with at least 100 applications and platforms.

The pen works on a battery with a capacity of 100 milliamp-hours, and 15 minutes of connection to the charger is enough for 2 hours of operation. The device weighs only 28 grams and will be available in two colors - ebony and ivory.

The pen is currently on pre-order on Kickstarter for $197. As a bonus, backers will receive an annual subscription to special features and three replacement ink cartridges. The Nuwa Pen will then go on sale for $329 and a subscription for $2,99 per month.

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, ... >>

Treasures of Lake Kivu 05.12.2010

The large African Lake Kivu, lying on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, hides in its depths a real energy treasure. At a depth of 300-500 meters, methane is dissolved in lake water - as much as 65 cubic kilometers of natural gas.

Rwanda has recently begun to develop these reserves by placing in its waters a floating platform of the type used for the extraction of gas and oil in the seas. From a depth of 320 meters, a thousand cubic meters of gas are pumped out every hour. It operates a 30-megawatt thermal power plant located nearby. It is planned to increase its capacity to 2013 megawatts by 200 in order to supply electricity to neighboring countries. Gas reserves will last at least a hundred years.

Where does the methane in the lake come from? It has accumulated over millennia thanks to the activity of bacteria that decompose the remains of dead plants and animals that sink to the bottom. But with this gas, the content of which in the lake has increased by 30% over the past 20 years, there may be a danger associated.

Lake Kivu lies on a large geological fault; craters of several extinct volcanoes have been found at its bottom. If they wake up, disaster for the entire region is guaranteed.
