LG Stylus 2 Smartphone with DAB+ Digital Broadcasting

17.03.2016

LG has released a smartphone with a new type of radio. Smartphone LG Stylus 2 received support for the DAB + digital broadcasting standard and became the first device of this kind on the market.

The LG Stylus 2 is the first smartphone in the world to support DAB+, allowing you to receive high-quality digital radio broadcasts without an internet connection.

The development of the DAB standard (stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting - "digital audio broadcasting") has been carried out by the Institute of Radio Broadcasting Technology in Germany since 1981. The European consortium International DMB Advancement Group is promoting the standard. The first DAB channel was launched in Norway in 1995 by the state broadcaster Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. Since then, this standard has become widespread in about two dozen European countries and Asia.

DAB+ is positioned as a replacement for FM radio. Some countries are even planning to phase out analogue broadcasting when full DAB coverage is achieved. According to LG, DAB+ is now available to more than 500 million people in 40 countries. However, not all states use it. For example, in the United States, the HD Radio standard has become popular.

The presence of DAB + in your smartphone will allow you to listen to the radio in higher quality and will open access to more radio stations. In this case, the owner of the mobile device will not need to pay for Internet traffic, as is the case with digital Internet radio, since the Internet is not used here, and the radio itself is free.

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, ... >>

The cat's brain shrinks 27.01.2022

Scientists at the University of Vienna (Austria) and the National Museum of Scotland have found that the brain size of domestic cats is smaller than that of their African ancestors.

It is known that the domestication of animals by humans leads to a decrease in the brain, which is observed in dogs, sheep and rabbits. In the new study, researchers measured the skull volume of a large number of domestic cat breeds to come up with an average. The same has been done with wild African cats, which are the ancestors of today's Felis domestica.

The results confirmed that the brains of domestic cats are much smaller than those of their ancestors. To show that the decrease in brain size is due to domestication, the researchers compared the volume of the skull in European wild cats and their hybrids with domestic cats. In hybrids, the sizes occupied intermediate values between wild and domestic species.

Previous research has shown that the reason for the decrease in brain size in domestic animals is due to a decrease in the number of neural crest cells that are involved in responding to danger, since domesticated animals face much fewer threats than those living in the wild.
