ARM Cortex-M0+ processor for low power systems

24.03.2012

ARM announced an update to the ARM Cortex-M0 platform, in the new version the chip was named Cortex-M0+. According to the developer, this component is the most energy-efficient microprocessor in the world, it is intended for the operation of sensor and control systems. The M0+ chip could also be used for home appliances, lighting and power systems, and medical monitoring devices when it becomes relevant to connect these systems to the Internet.

The new Cortex-M0+ is a 32-bit chip that, according to ARM, consumes only 9uA/MHz, which is only 30% of that of 8- and 16-bit chips. However, with reduced power consumption, the processor provides higher performance than earlier generation chips. The main purpose of the new chip is to work on systems that embody the ideology of the "Internet of Things", in the future there will be more and more professional and household machines that communicate with each other via the Network, while a sufficiently high processor performance will not be superfluous.

Freescale and NXP Semiconductor have already received a license to work with the new ARM Cortex-M0 + architecture. By the way, NXP has already worked with the previous version of this platform, Cortex-M0, and spoke positively about its low power consumption and high performance compared to 8/16-bit processors.

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, ... >>

Rain and phones 05.11.2006

Water falling from the sky absorbs the energy of the ultra-short waves that power the cellular network, so the base stations in its cells automatically increase the transmission energy when it rains.

As a group of meteorologists from the University of Tel Aviv (Israel) discovered, recording these fluctuations in the power of base stations can measure the amount of precipitation almost as accurately as a rain gauge. Moreover, the network of cellular stations is much denser than any network of weather stations that have rain gauges.

This discovery will make weather forecasts more accurate.
