Smartphone charges in 10 minutes and lasts all day

05.10.2013

The Japanese operator Softbank announced the smartphone Arrows A 301F, capable of working all day after charging for 10 minutes.

The Fujitsu-manufactured Arrows A 301F features a 5-inch 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP camera, and 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded with microSD cards. The smartphone has a fingerprint scanner on the back. The battery capacity is 2600 mAh. The smartphone runs on the operating system Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The battery life of the model from a fully charged battery is 3 days, according to Softbank. The operator did not specify how one day of battery life from 10 minutes of charge is provided. Arrows A 301F probably has Quick Charge 2.0 technology.

Introduced in February 2.0, Quick Charge 2013 technology can significantly reduce the time it takes to charge mobile devices, charging up to 75% faster than devices that do not have this technology.

Quick Charge 2.0 is a separate controller or a controller as part of the Snapdragon 800 family processor power supply circuit. It is necessary that the technology is supported not only by the smartphone, but also by the charger. Softbank clarified that the smartphone comes with a new charger.

Qualcomm plans to make Quick Charge technology as widespread as possible by adding it to almost all manufactured chargers that connect to smartphones via micro-USB.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Interaction of photons with pairs of atoms 25.08.2021

Scientists from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) have for the first time forced photons to interact with pairs of atoms. This breakthrough is important for the field of resonator quantum electrodynamics (QED), an advanced field that underpins quantum technologies.

Humanity is moving towards the widespread use of technologies based on quantum physics. But to achieve this, you first need to master how to make light interact with matter - or, to be more precise, photons with atoms. To some extent, the advanced field of resonator quantum electrodynamics (QED) is responsible for such technologies. Now it is already used in quantum networks and quantum information processing. But there is still a long way to go. The current interactions of light and matter are limited to single atoms, which limits the ability of humans to study them in the form of complex systems involved in quantum technologies.

In the new work, the researchers used a Fermi gas (or Fermi-Dirac ideal gas). This is a gas consisting of particles that satisfy the Fermi-Dirac statistics, that is, they have a small mass and a high concentration. For example, electrons in a metal. “In the absence of photons, gas can be obtained in a state where atoms interact with each other, forming loosely bound pairs,” explains Jean-Philippe Brantou from the EPFL School of Basic Sciences. “When light enters a gas, some of these pairs turn into chemically bonded molecules, being absorbed photons".

The key concept of the new effect is that it happens "coherently". This means that a photon is absorbed to turn a couple of atoms into a molecule, then emitted back and so on several times. The para-photon system forms a new type of particle state, which is called pair polariton-polariton. This was made possible by a system where photons are trapped in one place, where they have to interact strongly with atoms.

Hybrid pair polaritons acquire some of the properties of photons. This means that they can be measured by optical methods. They also take on some of the properties of a Fermi gas.

In the future, the technology will come in handy in quantum chemistry: scientists have demonstrated for the first time how certain chemical reactions can be coherently produced using single photons.
