Measuring 4 x 124,4 x 61,4mm and weighing 11,2g, the Zenfone 115 features a 4" multi-touch TN display with 800 x 480 WVGA resolution and is powered by the Intel Atom Z2520 dual-core processor clocked at 1,2 .1 GHz, has 5 GB of RAM and has a 1170-megapixel rear camera, which is complemented by a front-facing VGA camera. The possibility of battery life provides a removable rechargeable battery with a capacity of XNUMX mAh.

The more advanced new Zenfone 5 with dimensions of 148,2 x 72,8 x 10,3 mm and a weight of 140 g received a 5-inch multi-touch IPS screen with HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, through which you can enter information like gloves (function GloveTouch), and with a regular pen acting as a stylus (PenTouch function). The device is based on a dual-core Intel Atom Z2580 chip with a clock speed of 2 GHz and has 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of internal flash memory, a 2-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel rear camera with PixelMaster technology, f / 2,0 aperture and PanoSpheres mode for obtaining spherical panoramic images, as well as a built-in 2050 mAh lithium-polymer battery.

As for the Zenfone 6 phablet, it is also based on a dual-core 2580 GHz Intel Atom Z2 processor, but boasts a 6-inch IPS screen with HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which is friendly with GloveTouch and pentouch. There is also a 13-megapixel rear camera with PixelMaster technology and f / 2,0 aperture, an audio subsystem with SonicMaster technology for improved sound quality and a built-in 3240 mAh rechargeable battery. In addition, depending on the modification, there are 1 or 2 GB of RAM and 8 or 16 GB of internal flash memory on board. At the same time, the dimensions of the “tablet phone” are 166,9 x 84,3 x 9,9 mm, and its weight is 200 g.

The Zenfone 4, Zenfone 5, and Zenfone 6 are expected to be available in the US for $100, $150, and $200, respectively, with multiple body colors to choose from.

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 ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Brain implants will change humanity 13.09.2019

Researchers from the Royal Society of London called for preparations for the spread of implants that interact directly with the brain and nervous system. Scientists believe that while such technologies remain in their infancy, but in a few decades they will be improved. The technology will reach millions of people.

The neuroimplants that exist today are relatively simple - examples include hearing aids and stimulators for patients with Parkinson's disease. In the future, technology will reach more impressive heights.

According to experts, by 2040 implants will allow the exchange of thoughts, will restore mobility after paralysis, as well as improve memory and speed up the learning process.

However, new opportunities come with new risks. Expensive implants will lead to further stratification of society. In addition, devices connected to the brain can make thoughts and other intimate data public. The current data theft scandals are a modest prologue.

Perhaps some companies will even force employees to wear such implants to access data on mood and motivation levels.

Scientists call for a broader discussion of the ethical issues that arise regarding neuroimplants. In addition, they propose to transfer the supervision of these devices under the control of special bodies.

In the UK, this function should be taken over by the National Office for Human Fertilization and Embryology. At the same time, regulation should not be excessive, so as not to become obstacles to potentially useful technologies.
