Electric car Nissan Leaf 2018

10.09.2017

Nissan has unveiled the 2018 Nissan Leaf electric car, which features an updated platform, extended range, redesigned design, drag coefficient of 0,28, e-Pedal smart accelerator pedal, ProPilot driver assistance system and an attractive price.

The 2016 Nissan Leaf was equipped with a 30 kWh battery, while the novelty will receive a 40 kWh battery, which should allow the car to travel 240 km according to the American EPA measuring cycle, or up to 400 km according to the Japanese JC08 cycle.

The power of the electric motor has grown to 147 hp, and the maximum torque reaches 320 Nm. When using proprietary high-speed charging, the battery can be charged up to 80% in 40 minutes. A three-kilowatt charge will take 16 hours to fully replenish the battery capacity.

The ProPilot system is able to maintain a safe distance from the nearest vehicles in front and behind, as well as maintain a set speed in the range of 30 to 100 km/h. In addition, ProPilot is designed for highway driving and only within one lane. Another ProPilot Park system will help the driver to park.

The electronic accelerator pedal e-Pedal allows you to drive the car without using the brake pedal. This functionality is activated by a special switch on the steering wheel.

The base version is priced at $29 and will go on sale next year.

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, ... >>

TI announces new DSPs 09.03.2008

Modeling of the system and the initial implementation of the algorithm in most cases is based on floating point arithmetic. After that, the debugged algorithm is loaded onto a microcontroller or a fixed-point digital signal processor.

Floating point processors are used only in applications that require high precision and performance, where the cost of the end device is not critical. For such applications, Texas Instruments has released TMS320F28335, TMS320F28334, TMS320F28332 floating point digital signal processors. But, as before, it did not stop there. There are new TMS320F2823x fixed point DSPs that are software and hardware compatible with TMS320F2833x floating point processors.

Now users can simulate the system, debug it on the floating point platform (TMS320F2833x), and then simply recompile the resulting program code under the TMS320F2823x, thereby reducing development time (the time it takes to download the application to the fixed point platform) and the cost of the end device.
