Compact 64W 1-bit ARM chip from NXP

23.02.2016

NXP Semiconductors introduced the QorIQ LS1012A processor, which it called the most compact and economical chip based on the 64-bit ARM architecture. The novelty is aimed at a new class of products that require very high network performance with low power consumption.

According to the developers, QorIQ LS1012A is ideal for next generation IoT gateways, portable entertainment platforms, mobile storage for cameras, tablets and other compact devices. Also, the novelty is the first network processor, the dimensions of which allow it to be integrated directly into the hard disk controller board. This will create a so-called Ethernet drive that will have the same form factor as a typical HDD.

One chip houses two 2,5 Gb / s Ethernet controllers, PCI Express, SATA III, USB 3.0 interfaces. According to NXP, this is the only 64-bit processor on the market that consumes only 1W and packs such a rich set of peripherals and features into a single SoC device.

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, ... >>

Purification of water from uranium using magnetic bacteria 20.05.2023

German researchers from the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed a water purification technology using magnetotactic bacteria. Microorganisms accumulate dissolved heavy metal in their cell walls, and a magnetic field is used to remove them from the water.

Nanoscopic magnetic crystals are formed inside the cells of magnetotactic microbes. Each individual magnetic crystal is enclosed in a protective membrane. Together they form a magnetosome, an organelle that bacteria use to navigate the Earth's magnetic field.

In their own experiments, the researchers showed that magnetotactic bacteria can survive at neutral pH even in aquatic solutions containing relatively high concentrations of uranium. At the same time, they bind this heavy metal in the cell walls and it does not penetrate into the cell and does not interact with the magnetosome.

This is an excellent basis for water purification associated with mining, the authors of the study say. The cell walls of magnetotactic bacteria are formed by a peptidoglycan layer, a macromolecule consisting of sugars and amino acids. It is in it that heavy metal particles are retained, while the magnetic properties of bacteria are preserved.

Due to their magnetic properties, such bacteria can be easily separated from water using magnets. This method can become an alternative to expensive traditional chemical treatments. Because these bacteria are low maintenance, cleaning can be done directly in surface water or by pumping water from underground mines where minerals are mined and directing it to a treatment plant.
