Access to smart home systems from the car

07.07.2016

Volkswagen Group and LG Electronics have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly research and develop the next generation networked automotive platform.

The specialists of the two companies will work on the Volkswagen Group's Cross-Over-Platform project, which aims to expand the networking capabilities of cars and improve passenger comfort. The platform, which will be based on the latest developments in the field of cloud technologies, will provide drivers with seamless access to various digital systems, such as "smart home" and services related to determining the user's location, the company said.

Thus, in the coming years, the efforts of the two companies will be focused on developing: technologies for connecting the car with the network capabilities of the "smart home", which will allow drivers to control home systems (lighting, burglar alarms, household appliances) from the car; a context-sensitive clearinghouse to securely provide the driver with real-time information and advice; next generation infotainment system for connected cars.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Rogue waves of the Bermuda Triangle 11.04.2024

The Bermuda Triangle has remained the subject of mystery and controversy for many years. The fate of ships and planes that disappeared in this mystical area of the Atlantic Ocean gave rise to speculation and legends. However, recent scientific research from the University of Southampton in the UK is shedding light on the mystery by linking the disappearances to huge rogue waves.

British researchers from the University of Southampton have lifted the veil of secrecy surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Their discoveries indicate that the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes may be due to the huge rogue waves raging in the region.

These high, steep waves are formed when multiple storms collide and create extremely dangerous sailing conditions. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Bermuda Triangle is particularly susceptible to the formation of such waves, which may be one of the key factors explaining many of the disappearances.

However, the researchers stress that the overall risks in this region do not exceed the standard dangers of ocean travel. This new scientific research helps to better understand the natural processes occurring in the Bermuda Triangle and may help reduce possible hazards to mariners and aviators.

While many theories and myths exist around the Bermuda Triangle, new scientific evidence is providing important information to help solve this mysterious zone.

Research into the Bermuda Triangle continues, and each new discovery brings us closer to understanding this mysterious area. The discovery of the connection between disappearances and huge rogue waves represents a significant step in understanding the nature of this phenomenon. However, much remains unknown, and future research may provide additional answers to questions surrounding the Bermuda Triangle.
