Sony mirrorless camera and NEX-5T
02.09.2013
The Japanese manufacturer introduced the Sony camera NEX-5T. The novelty belongs to the category of mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses. Its features include a high-speed autofocus system, as well as support for NFC technology, thanks to which you can connect via Wi-Fi by simply touching the camera with an Android device. Communication with non-NFC-enabled devices uses the standard procedure and the Sony PlayMemories Mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
The camera uses an APS-C format CMOS-type Exmor image sensor with a resolution of 16,1 MP. The camera will be sold with the SELP1650 zoom lens, which protrudes from the camera body by only three centimeters when fully extended. This lens is equipped with optical SteadyShot and motorized zoom.
The advantages of the camera include the Smart Remote Control function. It allows you to use the screen of a mobile device connected to the camera via Wi-Fi as an external monitor.
As for the aforementioned high-speed autofocus system, it is hybrid, as reflected in the name Fast Hybrid AF. It is called hybrid because it combines phase and contrast methods. Phase focusing relies on information about the distance to objects obtained from 99 points built into the image sensor and used for the first stage of focusing. At the second stage, the contrast method providing higher accuracy is used. In Speed Priority mode, the camera uses a phase method for tracking focus and can take up to 10 shots per second.
The NEX-5T features a fully programmable control wheel and Fn button, which the manufacturer says will appeal to photographers accustomed to the flexible and direct control of SLR cameras. The touch screen of the camera is fixed movably.
The NEX-5T will be available in silver, black and white. The price of a kit with a SELP1650 lens is about $700, and the cameras alone are $550. Optional LCS-EBA case, LCS-EMJ bag and BC-QM1 charger will be available for $25, $40 and $60 respectively. Sales start in September.

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, ... >>
Random news from the Archive Alternative to blood transfusion
21.09.2023
Blood transfusions may become a thing of the past as scientists have discovered the potential to speed up blood production in the body, based on recent research.
The researchers paid particular attention to a hidden gene that appears to be key to regulating the rate at which blood is repaired in the human body, and which may also provide information about the fight against various types of cancer.
Blood is critical to life as it serves as the “fuel” for all functions in the body. However, even despite its fundamental importance, the processes of its formation have so far remained largely unexplored by science. Recent research has uncovered a piece of this puzzle by revealing an important relationship between the SOX17 protein and the Rasip1 gene.
Proteins can be said to be the “working mechanisms” inside our cells, regulating the activation or switching off of specific genetic regions. One such protein that has long been of interest to researchers is SOX17, which is known as a transcription factor, or a protein that controls gene activity.
It is known that blood cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells. There is evidence that SOX17 plays a key role in the early stages of development of these hematopoietic cells.
The researchers looked deeply into this role by comparing cells that contained SOX17 and those that did not. This was done using a technique called RNA sequencing, which can study the activity of genes and identify differences in their role and quantity.
During the study, scientists paid attention to the Rasip1 gene, which plays an important role in the vascular cells lining blood vessels. It turned out that the SOX17 protein must interact with a specific part of the Rasip1 gene to activate it. This can be compared to how you need to press a certain button to start a car. Changing the level of Rasip1 affected blood production: a decrease in Rasip1 led to a decrease in hematopoietic activity, while its increase contributed to an increase in activity.
According to senior researcher Tetsuya Taga, this research reveals important aspects of hematopoiesis, which continues throughout a person's life. This could have significant implications for understanding the causes of blood diseases, as well as some forms of cancer.
