Intel TV Service

14.02.2013

The world's largest microchip maker, Intel, is working on a networked TV broadcasting service that the company plans to launch later this year, according to the Financial Times. Intel intends to enter a new market for itself, but in this endeavor the company is following Apple's successful strategy of offering customers complete sets of devices, software and services.

"For the first time, we will offer consumers a new device under a new brand," said Eric Haggers, head of Intel's media division. "We are working with industry representatives to find out how we can offer users TV broadcasts over the Internet."

The new device, according to Haggers, will have a camera that can detect the presence of people in the room and will help with personalization of software settings and advertising.

As a result of the launch of the service, Intel will become a direct competitor to US cable and satellite TV providers, but the company will not provide users with the ability to independently select channels, which is one of the main advantages of network television. Channel packages will be available to consumers, just like other broadcast network operators.

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, ... >>

Development of technology for capturing greenhouse gases 18.05.2019

China is actively working on technologies to capture, compress and inject carbon dioxide into underground geological formations to store CO2 instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

China leads as the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. According to 2017 data, China emitted 10,877 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Most CO2 emissions come from coal-fired power plants or from chemical processes such as synthetic ammonia, methanol and fertilizers. Now the country is aiming to capture some of the CO2.

A newly constructed facility in aquifers below the city of Ordos in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will capture at least 100 tons of greenhouse gases per year. The project is part of an initiative launched by state-owned CHN Energy Investment Corp in Inner Mongolia, which remains one of China's most fossil fuel and coal dependent provinces.

Today, the Ordos facility can capture up to 90% of the CO2 emitted from the use of fossil fuels in local power generation. The carbon dioxide produced by burning coal will be liquefied after being captured. Liquefied CO2 will be pumped through wells into aquifers at depths of 1500 to 2500 meters.

While long-term CO2 storage is a relatively new concept, three additional facilities are also operational or in advanced stages of construction in China. In addition, eight more sites across the country are in early planning and development, most of which are designed to capture emissions from power plants.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached 415,26 parts per million, surpassing the record high of 415 parts for the first time in human history. This is stated in a statement by scientists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
