Washing machine from Porsche

25.11.2018

The Japanese company Panasonic turned to the German brand Porsche for help in developing the design of the Alpha premium washing machine.

The design of the washing machine in German is strict and concise. The gray body is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a built-in suspension that dampens vibrations when the machine is in spin mode.

On the front panel there is a color screen, the graphics of which are stylized in the design of the dashboard of Porsche cars. In the spirit of the times, the washing machine is equipped with a Wi-Fi wireless module and allows you to connect to it via the Internet using a special mobile application. It allows you to remotely select washing modes, start the machine, adjust the amount of detergent and receive text notifications at the end of the wash.

The new model is only for sale in China.

The price of the novelty is 2900 US dollars.

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, ... >>

Asteroseismology as music for measuring distances to stars 03.01.2024

The team of astronomers used asteroseismology, studying the vibrations of stars, to more accurately measure their distances from Earth. Researchers focused on thousands of stars, analyzing measurements taken by the Gaia mission, designed to study the nearby Universe.

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Gaia mission, which provided astronomers with unique data about the nearby Universe. The Gaia project, which has collected information on the position, distance and motion of nearly two billion stars, has become an important tool for the study of outer space.

The Standard Candles and Distances research team at EPFL, led by Professor Richard Anderson, set out to measure the current expansion of the Universe, counting Gaia as a key element in their research. The Gaia mission has increased the accuracy of parallax measurements by 10 times compared to ESA's previous Hipparcos mission. Today, astronomers use parallaxes to determine distances to stars, but this method becomes more difficult as distance increases.

Despite Gaia's success, measuring parallax is challenging, and scientists at EPFL and the University of Bologna in Italy have been working to check and correct small systematic errors to fully unlock the potential of Gaia's parallaxes. In their study, more than 12 wobbling red giants were analyzed, providing the most precise measurements to date.

Just as geologists use earthquakes to study the structure of the Earth, astronomers use asteroseismology, the study of the vibrations of stars, to gain information about their physical properties. The vibrations of stars are measured as small changes in the intensity of light, which are then converted into sound waves, creating the frequency spectrum of these vibrations.

“The frequency spectrum allows us to determine the distance to the star by providing asteroseismic parallaxes,” the scientists note. “In our study, we listened to the “music” of a huge number of stars, some of which are 15 light years away!”

To translate sounds into distance measurements, the researchers began by determining that the speed at which sound waves travel through space depends on the temperature and density of the star's interior.

"By analyzing the frequency spectrum of a star's vibrations, we can estimate the size of a star, just as one can determine the size of a musical instrument by the sound it makes, thinking about the difference in pitch between a violin and a cello," explains Professor Andrea Miglio, Professor at the Bolognese Department of Physics and Astronomy University, the third author of the study.

By calculating the size of the star in this way, astronomers determined its luminosity and compared it with the brightness visible on Earth. They then combined this information with temperature and chemical composition data obtained from spectroscopy and analyzed this data to calculate the distance to the star. Finally, the astronomers compared the parallaxes obtained in the study with those provided by Gaia to check the accuracy of the satellite's measurements.
