Axis Vidius - the smallest drone with a camera

06.01.2016

Axis has unveiled the Axis Vidius drone, claiming to be the smallest quadcopter equipped with a camera. It is so small that it is not subject to registration with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), that is, it weighs less than 250 g.

The dimensions of the drone are only 4,3 x 4,3 x 2,5 and can record and broadcast videos, as well as take pictures in 480p resolution. The flight time is no more than seven minutes, the 150 mAh rechargeable battery is fully charged in 20 minutes. Axis Vidius, equipped with a stabilization system, can fly at three different speeds and perform various programmed maneuvers.

The package includes a controller, but users will also be able to control the drone from a smartphone or tablet. Until January 7, those who wish can pre-order for $75, after which it will increase to $95.

The drone will go on sale at the end of January.

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, ... >>

Today is the most depressing day of the year 21.01.2019

January 21 is Blue Monday, which is considered the most depressing day of the year. This conclusion was made on the basis of a study by mathematicians and psychologists of human behavior.

The research was done in 2005 by psychologist Clif Arnal. He noted that the penultimate Monday in January is always dull: people experience a depressive state. Clif used a mathematical formula that takes into account a large number of factors, such as culture, traditions and weather.

January 21 is usually overcast, plus, all the magic of the New Year ends. Most people are aware that many plans will remain dreams, because there are no prerequisites for their implementation.

To protect yourself from bad thoughts, we advise you not to think much about your actions and failures on Monday. Learn to rejoice in small victories and thank fate for the plans that have already come true. On January 21, you can start doing one more item from the list, for example, finally give up sugar.
