Samsung 1TB SSD

16.12.2013

Samsung has introduced the first 1TB mSATA SSD in the market for laptops.

The drive consists of four multi-layer modules, each of which contains 16 16 GB flash memory chips based on 10-nm technology.

The device is equipped with a proprietary Samsung controller and Samsung TurboWrite technology, which provide 98K IOPS in random read mode and 90K IOPS in random write mode. Sequential read speed is 540MB/s, write speed is 520MB/s.

The drive is about 4 times smaller, 2,5 times thinner and 12 times lighter than a 2,5-inch hard drive. Its thickness is 3,85 mm and its weight is 8,5 g.

The new drive is part of the new 840 EVO mSATA SSD lineup. In addition to the 1TB model, it includes 120GB, 250GB, and 500GB models. All of them demonstrate the same speeds as the older model.

It is planned to start selling new drives on the global market before the end of December.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Eco-friendly gasoline engine from Mazda 26.01.2018

Mazda has announced work on the development of an internal combustion engine that will be no more harmful than an electric motor in terms of emissions into the atmosphere. The manufacturer clarifies that it takes into account emissions from fuel combustion at power plants that generate electricity for "harmless" engines. At the same time, for a gasoline engine, atmospheric pollution is also taken into account at all stages - from oil production to the combustion of gasoline in a car engine.

The new engine will be a continuation of the Skyactiv line. The first generation in the face of Skyactiv-G was introduced in 2011. The development of the Skyactiv-X engine is nearing completion and should be on the market by the end of March 2019. The next engine will be called Skyactiv-3. Engineers strive to increase engine efficiency by reducing energy losses by increasing the compression ratio and controlled ignition of the fuel mixture at many points at once.

Mazda estimates that Skyactiv-3 efficiency can reach 56%, which is close to the theoretical limit for this type of engine. If successful, CO2 production will be reduced by a quarter, putting Skyactiv-3 on par with electric motors in terms of total emissions.

It should be added that not all electricity is generated by thermal power plants, so the comparison cannot be called completely correct. However, the production of the same solar cells is accompanied by large CO2 emissions, which further complicates an accurate assessment. One thing's for sure: Gasoline and diesel-powered cars won't disappear overnight just because of the craze for electric cars - neither on the streets of cities nor in the assortment of automakers.
