Android TV Box Zero Devices Z6C

02.01.2014

The company Zero Devices has prepared for the release of a new set-top box Z6C on the Android operating system, which allows you to turn an ordinary TV into a "smart" panel with Internet access.

The device uses a Rockchip RK3188 processor with four cores based on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture and an integrated graphics controller. The amount of RAM is 2 GB; For data storage, there is a built-in flash module with a capacity of 8 GB, expandable with removable microSD cards.

The prefix is ​​endowed with three USB ports and a microUSB connector. This allows you to connect external storage devices, as well as various peripherals - say, a wired keyboard and mouse.

Zero Devices Z6C can be connected to the Internet via an Ethernet network or a wireless Wi-Fi connection (802.11n standard is supported). There is a Bluetooth 4.0 controller and an infrared port for the remote control. In addition, HDMI, SPDIF and a headphone jack are mentioned.

The newest Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system will be initially installed on the set-top box. The package includes a game controller.

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, ... >>

Meat grown in space 18.09.2021

It may sound like something out of Star Wars or Star Trek, but humans have finally managed to grow meat in space. The meat produced by the Israeli food company Aleph Farms was created aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and is considered the world's first lab-grown meat produced in space.

The edible meat was made from a pair of bovine cell spheroids in a laboratory on the space station segment and grown to mimic natural cows. the process of muscle tissue regeneration. The proposed method can be used to provide "meat without slaughter" for people living on the space station.

This event comes more than two decades after astronauts successfully grew potatoes aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia, and just a few years after the creation of a "space garden" on the ISS.

Although the "space steak" was cooked using basically the same methods as their original earth-based line of lab-grown meat, they had to make slight changes to the procedure to accommodate its space location.

"The XNUMXD bioprinter is equipped with a magnetic force that fuses cells into one small tissue that is meat," Yoav Reisler, Aleph Farms external relations manager, said in a statement, adding that bioprinted tissues mature faster in space than on Earth. .

This is probably due to the lack of gravity in space. The fabric is printed from all sides at the same time, like a snowball, while most other bioprinters create it layer by layer. On Earth, cells always fall down. In weightlessness, they hang in space and interfere only with each other. Gravity layering requires a support structure.
