ROG SWIFT PG49WCD is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified with 10-bit color and 99 percent DCI-P3 color gamut. With HDR enabled, the maximum brightness is 1000 nits at three percent of the display area.

The monitor is equipped with a massive fanless cooling system based on a heatsink and graphene film. The PG49WCD is equipped with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports, the built-in hub includes USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C at 90W.

You can connect a mouse, keyboard and two PCs to the monitor and control both at the same time. A simple movement of the mouse allows you to switch from one computer to another, and USB connectors allow you to transfer files between them.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Artificial organic neurons 16.01.2023

Researchers at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden, have created an artificial organic neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of biological nerve cells. This artificial neuron can stimulate natural nerves, making it a promising technology for various medical procedures in the future.

At the LOE Organic Electronics Laboratory, work continues to develop increasingly functional artificial nerve cells. In 2022, a team of scientists led by assistant professor Simona Fabiano demonstrated how an artificial organic neuron can be integrated into a living carnivorous plant to control the opening and closing of its mouth. This synthetic nerve cell matched 2 of 20 characteristics that distinguish it from a biological nerve cell.

Researchers at LiU have developed a new artificial nerve cell called conduction-based organic electrochemical neuron, or c-OECN, that accurately mimics 15 of the neurons. 20 neural features that characterize biological nerve cells, making them function much like natural nerve cells.

One of the key challenges in creating artificial neurons that effectively mimic real biological neurons is the ability to turn on ion modulation. Traditional artificial neurons made of silicon can emulate many neural functions but cannot communicate via ions. In contrast, c-OECNs use ions to demonstrate several key features of real biological neurons," says Simone Fabiano, Principal Investigator of the Organic Nanoelectronics Group at LOE.

In 2018, a research group at Linköping University was one of the first to develop organic electrochemical transistors based on n-type lead polymers, which are materials that can produce negative charges. This made it possible to create complementary organic electrochemical circuits for printing. Since then, the group has been working on optimizing these transistors so they can be printed on a printing press on thin plastic foil. As a result, it is now possible to print thousands of transistors on a flexible substrate and use them to design artificial nerve cells.

In a newly developed artificial neuron, ions are used to control the flow of electron current through an n-type lead polymer, resulting in voltage spikes in the device. This process is similar to what happens in biological nerve cells. The unique material in the artificial nerve cell also allows the current to increase and decrease in a near-perfect bell curve, reminiscent of the activation and inactivation of sodium ion channels found in biology.

In experiments carried out in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute (KI), novel c-OECN neurons were connected to the vagus nerve of mice. The results show that the artificial neuron can stimulate the nerves of mice, causing a 4,5% change in heart rate.

The fact that an artificial neuron can stimulate the vagus nerve itself could pave the way for important applications in various forms of treatment in the long run. In general, organic semiconductors have the advantage of being biocompatible, soft and ductile, while the vagus nerve plays a key role in, for example, the immune system and the body's metabolism.
