Gen II 32-layer 3D V-NAND Flash

06.06.2014

Samsung Electronics announced the start of mass production of the industry's first three-dimensional (3D) V-NAND flash memory, which includes 32 vertical cell layers (this is the second generation of V-NAND flash memory).

Samsung's 32-layer 3D V-NAND memory (also referred to as Vertical NAND) requires a higher level of design technology to stack cell arrays than previously released 24-layer V-NAND modules, yet provides much higher performance, since Samsung could, in principle, use the same hardware that was used to manufacture the first generation of V-NAND memory.

In addition, Samsung recently launched a line of premium SSDs based on 2nd generation V-NAND flash memory. These drives are available in capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. After releasing 3D V-NAND SSDs for data centers last year, Samsung is now expanding its V-NAND SSD lineup to offer premium PC products, which will allow the company to expand its market base.

"We've made 3D V-NAND more accessible by introducing a broad line of V-NAND SSDs that can also be used in PCs outside of data centers," said Jung Hyun Jun, Executive Vice President, Solutions Sales and Marketing. Memory, Samsung Electronics "We are committed to providing consistent and timely delivery of high-performance, high-density V-NAND SSDs as well as core V-NAND chips to IT customers around the world, which will drive the rapid adoption of 3D NAND technology in the market."

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Ion Engine X-3 20.10.2017

NASA specialists tested the X-3 ion engine developed by researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), which set new records for power, thrust and current.

The principle of operation of the X-3 engine is based on the Hall effect, which occurs when a magnetic field acts on moving charged particles - for example, gas ions. In this case, the ions deviate from their trajectory, which causes a current perpendicular to the main direction. This creates additional thrust and makes it possible to achieve a high flow rate of xenon, which is used as an ionized gas.

The ion thruster, one meter in diameter, weighs 227 kilograms and is equipped with three plasma output channels, which makes it possible to reduce its size compared to single-channel thrusters. The X-3 is powered by the XR-100 electric propulsion system developed by the American company Aerojet Rocketdyne. During the process in the vacuum chamber, the engine showed a power of more than 100 kilowatts and a thrust of 5,4 newtons.

For comparison, other samples of Hall effect ion thrusters developed a power of no more than five kilowatts. The main advantage of such engines is a high specific impulse - about 40 kilometers per second. Conventional liquid fuel rockets develop only 5 kilometers per second. As a result, less fuel is spent, but the thrust is low, so ion engines have not yet been able to overcome the earth's gravity.

NASA specialists intend to continue testing the X-3 ion engine next year. During the next stage of testing, scientists are going to test the endurance of the engine by making it run at full power for 100 hours. Especially for this experiment, a special magnetic shielding system will be built, which will protect the walls of the ion engine from hot plasma.
