Portable mobile phone printer

30.09.2003

The Japanese company Bandai announced the release of a portable printer that allows you to print pictures taken with camera-equipped mobile phones.

The device is connected to a mobile phone via an infrared port, so no cables or flash cards are required to transfer and print photos. The body of the printer without batteries has a mass of about 200 g, the dimensions of the device are 108x70x30 mm.

The printer prints pictures on special adhesive paper (69x38 mm), which is convenient not only because the picture can be immediately pasted into an album or hung on the wall. The device also allows you to print halves or quarters of the picture, so that later they can be glued together into one large "poster".

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, ... >>

Earthworms can replace synthetic fertilizers 01.03.2022

Researchers at University College Dublin have uncovered new information about the importance of soil dwellers to nutrient-consuming plants.

The findings suggest a previously undiscovered shortening of the soil nitrogen cycle, in which earthworms, when active, quickly enrich the soil and plants with nitrogen released by their mucus.

The role of soil animals such as earthworms in nutrient cycling has traditionally been considered beneficial but indirect, slow and cumulative.

In the lab and in the field, a team of researchers from Ireland, Germany and China were able to track nutrient transfer from earthworms to soil, wheat germ and aphids using a technique called stable isotope tracers.

They found that earthworm-derived nitrogen was absorbed by green flies after two hours in the lab and 24 hours in the field. The researchers were amazed at how quickly the worms' nitrogen traveled through the soil to roots, plants, and sap-eating insects.

The agricultural sector must maximize the financial benefits of this earthworm-supplied nitrogen as a potential alternative to synthetic fertilizers, which are very costly as global supply chains continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and rising energy prices.
