Serial electric car Volkswagen ID.3

04.09.2019

The ID.3 is an all-electric hatchback based on the MEB platform. The machine is 4 mm long, 260 m wide, and 1 mm high; wheelbase - 810 mm.

The electric motor is mounted on the rear axle and has a return of either 150 or 204 horsepower, depending on the version (with the same torque - 310 Nm); the capacity of the battery pack - depending on the option - will be 45, 58 or 77 kilowatt-hours (in the first case, according to VW, the power reserve will be 330 kilometers, in the second - 420 km, in the third - 550 km (in all cases - according to the WLTP cycle)).

A special edition of the ID.3, the 1ST, is expected to come first, available in three equipment options; it will have a battery with a capacity of 58 kilowatt-hours and a 204 hp engine. (the car will be able to reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour); prices for this version, according to VW, will start at less than 40 euros.

Later, other versions of the electric hatchback will come to the market; Pricing has yet to be revealed, but according to VW, the base ID.3 will cost no more than 30 euros.

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, ... >>

Mushrooms found to secrete gold 04.08.2019

In Australia, scientists have found a type of fungus that can turn compounds into pure precious metal.

Microscopic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, found in the west of the Australian continent, were able to transform gold compounds in various environments into pure gold.

The fungus releases highly reactive hydrogen peroxide molecules, which, after oxidation, turn into ions that form pure metal complexes. Gold nanocoatings appear on the surface of the mushroom mycelium.

The purpose of such transformations for the life of a new type of fungus is not clear to scientists, however, they state the difference between the growth of fungal strains coated with gold and without it. The former, according to the observations of the researchers, grow faster and grow larger than the samples without the "gold coating".

Perhaps the nanoparticles facilitate the absorption of certain substances important for the growth of strains, or contribute to the implementation of any reactions necessary for life in metal-rich minerals, the scientists suggest.
