Smart pillow Nitetronic F1

17.09.2023

The Nitetronic F1 smart pillow, presented by the German startup Ninetronic, has gone on sale. This innovative pillow combines water cooling and white noise technology to create the perfect sleeping environment. Plus, a graphene pillowcase is available for winter nights to provide extra warmth.

The device is divided into two parts: water and air. Filling the water part is simple and does not require the use of special liquids. The antibacterial pill included in the kit ensures the purity of the water in the pillow throughout the year.

The air part can be adjusted to your liking by adjusting the height and softness of the pillow. Each side has unique characteristics: the air side is soft and bouncy, while the water side creates a feeling of light cooling and floating above the bed.

The manufacturer claims to have paid special attention to head and neck support to ensure optimal sleep comfort and prevent problems with stiffness in the morning.

In addition, in collaboration with Open AI, the pillow has a built-in white noise generator that offers unique sound combinations for a more restful sleep. This generator creates soothing sounds, such as water flow, heartbeat or nature sounds, to help you relax and fall asleep faster.

In case of cold nights, it is possible to purchase a graphene pillowcase, which will ensure uniform and rapid heating of the pillow, creating a feeling of warmth and comfort.

The Nitetronic F1 project is available to order on Kickstarter starting at $79. For an additional $20, you can purchase a graphene pillowcase warmer for complete comfort on cold days and nights.

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, ... >>

Language Model Dolly 2.0 21.04.2023

US enterprise software company Databricks has released Dolly 2.0, the next version of its Large Language Model (LLM), with ChatGPT-like features. It is the first open source LLM with a free learning instruction set that will help companies use AI technology for their own commercial projects - without having to pay for APIs or share data with third parties.

In recent months, many language models have been released, similar to OpenAI's GPT, which by many definitions could be considered open. One of these is LLaMA by Meta, which in turn was inspired by Alpaca, Koala, Vicuna and Dolly 1.0

However, many of these "open" models were under the control of system developers - for example, the Stanford team's AI project Alpaca, which was trained on GPT-3.5 instructions and built on top of LLaMA 7B. OpenAI's terms of use include a rule that researchers cannot use products from systems that compete with the company.

The purpose of Databricks is to solve this problem. Dolly 2.0 is a large 12 billion parameter language model based on the open source Eleuther family of AI models and tuned exclusively to a small instruction block (databricks-dolly-15k) created by Databricks staff. The license terms for this dataset allow it to be used, modified, and extended for any purpose, including academic or commercial programs.

Like the original Dolly, version 2.0 is not state-of-the-art, but "demonstrates a surprisingly efficient level of instruction execution given the size of the training block. The level of effort and cost required to create powerful AI technologies is much less than previously thought.
