Samsung Ultra Slim DVD Drive for Android Tablets

04.05.2012

Samsung Electronics has announced the SE-218BB, a 14mm high external DVD drive. The manufacturer claims that the device is the thinnest on the market.

The SE-218BB is equipped with Smart Power technology, which allows you to use just one USB cable to transfer data and power at the same time. The drive can be connected to an Android tablet equipped with a USB port and watch DVD movies on the screen of the device. This requires your tablet to be running Android 3.1 Honeycomb or later.

The model is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems and is equipped with Buffer Under Run technology, which prevents recording errors at high speeds. Samsung added that the device is manufactured in accordance with environmental standards and does not contain harmful materials.

Maximum write speeds: 24X CD-ROM, 24X CD-RW, 8X DVD+R, 5X DVD-RAM, 6X DVD+R Dual Layer, 6X DVD-R Dual Layer, 8X DVD+RW and 6X DVD-RW.

Samsung SE-218BB has already gone on sale on the world market at a suggested price of $60.

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, ... >>

Finland to launch wooden satellite into space 03.05.2021

Finland is going to launch a unique satellite into space, which will be made of wood. With its help, scientists plan to find out how the tree will behave during a long stay in extreme conditions for this material. We are talking about high and low temperatures, as well as vacuum and radiation.

The satellite will be a cube, will be about a dozen centimeters on each of the faces. The device will not weigh more than one kilogram. The launch is scheduled for the end of 2021 from a spaceport located not in Finland itself, but in New Zealand.

It is noteworthy that the satellite will fly around the home planet. A full rotation, if everything goes according to plan, is planned to be completed every 90 minutes.

It should be noted that in recent years, scientists, astronomers and engineers have been trying to explore space more actively, launching many interesting projects into production. For example, Japan has already announced its intention to launch into space a device made of wood with the same purpose.

The advantage of wood is that it does not block electromagnetic waves or the earth's magnetic field. Because of this, antennas and orientation mechanisms can be placed in wooden structures without fear that the devices will not perform their functions correctly due to interference or signal problems.
