Rumors about the demise of CRT displays did not materialize

25.05.2004

Samsung SDI, a division of the South Korean display giant, has announced its latest development, the thinnest CRT display for digital TVs to date.

According to Samsung, the new display is not only not inferior in thickness to LCD panels, but also surpasses them in quality, and is also much cheaper to manufacture. So the market will soon expect not complete oblivion, but a new peak in the popularity of CRT displays, Samsung claims.

The introduction of the most advanced manufacturing technology will allow Samsung to reduce the cost of widescreen TV panels compared to their counterparts from competitors, produced on the lines of the sixth generation.

In recent years, traditionally thicker CRT displays have given way to thin LCD or plasma panels in digital TVs. But now, with the launch of a new technology that will make CRT displays thinner and much cheaper than LCD and plasma displays, Samsung says SDI should brace itself for a new boom in traditional CRTs.

So the widespread belief in the industry about the imminent demise of CRT displays can be called more than exaggerated, according to Samsung.

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, ... >>

High end mobile phone V80 from Motorola 09.03.2004

In the second quarter of 2004, Motorola will introduce a new high-end mobile phone, the V80. It will have a rather unusual design: a large color external monitor can rotate 180 degrees to reveal the keyboard.

The 90-degree rotation position is designed to work comfortably with the built-in VGA 640x480 camera in landscape mode. Supports MP3 (including as ring tones) and JAVA, Bluetooth.

The V220, equipped with a digital camera, a color screen, and MP3 support, should be released in the summer. A distinctive feature of the phone will be the ability to personalize by downloading your preferred themes, including screen fonts, sounds and icons.

Another function called "MOTOmixer" is for MIDI file operations. In addition to these Bluetooth-enabled phones, Motorola will offer a 820x64x55mm hands-free headset, the HS19. Battery life - 300 minutes of talk time and 100 hours of standby time.
