folding battery

14.11.2013

Nokia described in an application filed with the European Patent Office in March 2013 a battery for mobile devices that can be bent and folded in half.

A battery (Nokia calls it a "battery pack") consists of several miniature rectangular battery cells placed on a substrate. The cells themselves cannot be bent, but the substrate is flexible. "Block" can be used in flexible body devices. In addition, it allows you to create a battery with a non-standard shape (for example, with a ledge), thereby giving designers more freedom in choosing the layout.

It is known that Nokia is developing devices with a flexible body. The company showed a prototype of such a device at Nokia World in October 2011. Bending the device, you can, for example, flip through the photo in the gallery.

Samsung and LG have already begun serial production of a smartphone with a curved, but not flexible, body. The latter, among other things, also introduced curved batteries and batteries in the form of a cable.

USB 3.0 drives Buffalo RUF3-PW at 70 MB/s
14.11.2013
Buffalo's product range has expanded with the extensive series of RUF3-PW flash drives. In total, there are 12 models in the series, differing in memory capacity and body color. Drives are available in 8, 16 and 32 GB.

Buffalo RUF3-PW drives are equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. According to the manufacturer, the data transfer rate when connected via USB 3.0 reaches 70 MB / s.

The designers of flash drives opted for a case with a retractable connector. With dimensions of 65 x 23 x 9 mm, the device weighs 12 g.

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, ... >>

Research expedition went to the moon 07.09.2013

The probe called LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) was launched today from the spaceport on Wallops Island (Virginia) by the Minotaur-5 rocket. The expedition was created to study the atmosphere of the Moon and circumlunar dust. Perhaps the study will provide a clue to the events that happened to the astronauts of Apollo 17. Recall that the commander of the spacecraft Eugene Cernan (Eugene Cernan) spoke about the bright glow that begins shortly before sunrise.

“I think now is the right time to fly to the moon, while it is still unexplored and there is a huge interest,” Sarah Noble, a scientist from the LADEE program, shared her thoughts in an interview with Space.com. "Auroras observed 40 years ago by the Apollo 17 expedition, I would say that we have a theory about this. The reason for this could be lunar dust that is ejected above the surface of the Moon and levitates due to electrostatic charge, and ultraviolet radiation gives it a glow."

In addition to exploring the Earth's satellite, scientists will for the first time test laser data transmission over a great distance. This method is much faster than radio communication. The maximum speed can reach 600 Mbps. After landing, scientific work is planned for 100 days.
