Electronic Notebook Sharp WG-PN1

26.10.2019

Sharp has announced a new e-ink digital notepad that will allow you to sketch, take notes or make a list of important things in a more familiar form for adult users.

Sharp WG-PN1 has dimensions of 157 x 114 x 10,4 mm and weighs 210 g. The electronic notebook is equipped with a 6-inch display based on E Ink technology with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Its body is made of gray plastic like many business laptops.

The notebook comes with a case that protects its display during transport. The lid also has a loop that is used to store the stylus. The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery that can be charged via the USB-C connector located at the bottom. It is claimed that the battery lasts for 10 days of use, but everything, of course, depends on the intensity of use.

The device can store up to 7000 pages of handwritten data. In addition, users can transfer these notes to a computer or smartphone in image format.

The Sharp WG-PN1 will go on sale in November for around $210.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Ultra-precise atomic clock 24.02.2022

A group of physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced the creation of super-efficient atomic clocks. The device measures time so accurately that it loses only one second in 300 billion years.

The watch will enable more accurate measurements of gravitational waves, dark matter and other physical phenomena.

An atomic clock is a clock that tracks the resonance of the frequencies of atoms, usually cesium or rubidium. This allows such watches to measure time with high accuracy. So, NASA conducted an experiment in which the atomic clock Deep Space Atomic Clock worked in orbit for two years.

Atomic clocks work by keeping track of the energy levels of electrons. When an electron changes energy level, it absorbs or emits light at a frequency that is the same for all atoms of a particular element. Optical atomic clocks keep time using a laser finely tuned to this frequency, and require some of the world's most sophisticated lasers to measure time accurately.

In a new study, scientists have created a multiplexed clock that splits strontium atoms into a line in a single vacuum chamber. The team used a "relatively lousy laser," as the study's lead author Shimon Kolkowitz called it, which was still able to achieve levels of measurement accuracy close to a world record.

Scientists created two clocks and then tried to track the difference in their measurements. According to the researchers, two groups of atoms in different environments will "tick" at different speeds due to changes in magnetic fields or gravity. The team of researchers ran the experiment over 1000 times and over time noticed greater accuracy in the measurements.

Ultimately, the scientists found a difference in the speed of the two atomic clocks, which corresponds to them moving apart from each other by just one second every 300 billion years - a measurement of precise timekeeping that sets the world record for two spatially separated clocks.
