Miracle laptop with 6,8 GHz processor 1 TB RAM

16.01.2006

Atom Chip Corporation has announced a prototype laptop that impresses with its technical characteristics: the processor operates at a frequency of 6 GHz, the amount of RAM is 8 Tbps, and the permanent memory is 1 Tbps.

The memory subsystems use non-volatile quantum-optical (quantum-optical) synchronous memory. The new type of memory, according to the developer, is characterized by high storage density and high speed.

Non-volatile integrated optoelectronic Random Access Memory (NvIOpRAM) is used as RAM. It provides a storage density of 3 Gb per cubic millimeter. The work of NvIOpRAM is based on the magnetic quantum-optical effect in porous silicon, named after the discoverer Gendlin Effect. The write speed of the new memory is 2 Gb / s, the read speed is 8 Gb / s.

The AtomChip Quantum II processor operates at 6 GHz, has 8 MB of internal memory and has very low power consumption. As an alternative, four Intel Pentium M processors (256 GHz) are provided.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Photos instead of satellites for the new navigation system 29.09.2012

The Munich Polytechnic Institute developed the original NAVVIS positioning technology, which is based not on satellite signals, but on visual information. NAVVIS is a smartphone application that allows users to find their current location on a map. All you need to do is take a picture of the area around you. The application independently compares the photo with the image stored in the database and determines the exact position of the user (up to a meter), as well as the direction in which he moves. In doing so, it uses arrows to indicate the way in a three-dimensional projection.

In order for the NAVVIS system to function reliably, it was necessary not only to develop a special recognition system, but also to do a lot of preliminary work. First, a XNUMXD lidar scan of the area is carried out, which creates a "skeletal" XNUMXD map of the environment. After that, a lot of pictures of buildings are taken, including their characteristic features, such as stairs and signposts. Then certain points on the XNUMXD map are associated with the photographs. Thanks to this information, the navigation system allows you to navigate in any space, for example, quickly find the "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre.

However, unlike museums, many buildings and streets are often rebuilt. How will NAVVIS function in such conditions, since its database will become obsolete? This problem is solved by the users themselves, who take changes on the smartphone camera and thus update the database.

NAVVIS is ideal for areas where satellite navigation is not available, such as buildings, city streets, subways, etc. At the same time, wireless networks can be used for NAVVIS operation, which can also be used for rough positioning. It is very easy to use such a system: NAVVIS loads visual data packets when you start the application. The user takes a snapshot of their surroundings, and in a fraction of a second the program compares it to the image database and shows the user's exact location.
