slow action coffee

17.11.2002

The French army is testing caffeine tablets that contain a filler that slows down the absorption of the drug and its entry into the bloodstream.

Caffeine from tablets is absorbed slowly, and its maximum concentration in the blood does not exceed that which is achieved after two cups of coffee. But, unlike the effect of ordinary coffee, this concentration lasts for a long time - for 12 hours.

In addition to pilots, scouts and paratroopers, the new caffeine is useful for ordinary citizens who experience drowsiness and general malaise after a long-haul flight across several time zones.

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 ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

MSI MPG 274URF QD Gaming Monitor 22.03.2024

MSI has unveiled its latest product in the gaming monitor space, the MSI MPG 274URF QD.

The MSI MPG 274URF QD Monitor is a state-of-the-art gaming monitor that combines advanced technologies for an enhanced gaming experience. It features high resolution, fast response time and wide color gamut, making the gaming experience more immersive and realistic.

The MSI MPG 274URF QD is equipped with a 27-inch Rapid IPS display that has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 160Hz refresh rate and a GtG (gray to gray) response time of 0.5ms.

An important feature is the use of Quantum Dot backlighting, which promises a wide color gamut exceeding 145% of the sRGB spectrum. This creates more vivid and realistic visual effects. The monitor also has 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC), a static contrast ratio of 1000:1, VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, and a maximum brightness of 400 nits.

Among the various ports are USB Type-C with 65W charging support, DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports and a headphone jack. The monitor also acts as a USB hub, providing two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-B input port. Supports AdaptiveSync technology, compatible with both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync.

MSI MPG 274URF QD is complemented by Mystic Light RGB backlighting, which can be configured through a special application. The monitor also offers height adjustment, tilting, rotation and other features, making it an attractive choice for gamers.
