Ultra compact LED

28.01.2007

ROHM recently completed the development of an ultra-compact LED that currently has the smallest volume and area in the world.

The SML-P12 (PicoLED) series LEDs are ideal for applications that require thin, compact components such as cell phone keypads, dot matrices, and compact seven-segment meters. Mass production of products is planned for April 2007.

Currently, the smallest available chip is considered to be a compact 1608 chip LED (1,6x0,8 mm). However, the use of ultra-precise technology has enabled ROHM to develop an ultra-compact, ultra-thin, 0,2mm thick LED with a full spectrum of colors, previously considered impossible due to the significant loss in brightness of conventional LEDs.

The main features of SML-P12 (PicoLED): ultra-compact; 53% less area and 74% less volume than the standard 1608. Samples are available in the following color range: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Electricity from the snow 29.11.2022

The authorities of the Japanese city of Aomori intend to conduct a technical experiment to generate electricity using snow.

Specialists will transport the snow collected during the cleaning of the streets to a pool located in one of the city's closed schools. Refrigerant pipes will also be placed inside.

It is assumed that due to the temperature difference, a convection flow of refrigerant will be created, which will be able to rotate a turbine that produces electricity.

Professor of the Tokyo University of Electrical Communications Koji Enoki emphasized that the efficiency of this method can be noticeably higher than using solar panels. At the same time, the use of snow is a more environmentally friendly way to generate electricity.
