11.10.2020

The world leader in the production of 8-bit controllers - Microchip - has released a new series of controllers based on the PIC architecture.

The PIC16F152 is a general purpose controller family designed to reduce the cost of a variety of sensors, meters and real time controllers. The family includes 14 devices with a memory range from 3,5 to 28 kB in packages from 8 to 44 pins.

To reduce the cost of devices, the set of peripherals has been simplified and includes only the most necessary modules: a 10-bit ADC, one 8-bit and two 16-bit timers, two 10-bit PWM modules, one USART transceiver and one SPI / combo module. I2C. To increase flexibility, Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) technology is used, which allows you to reassign the pins used by the peripherals.

To evaluate the capabilities of the Microchip series, it did not provide a specialized debug board and offers to use universal debugs for PIC controllers in PDIP packages - Curiosity Development Board for devices in the PDIP-20 package and Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) Development Board for devices in the PDIP-40 package.

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, ... >>

Light-eating cyborg bacteria 26.08.2017

Scientists from the University of California at Berkeley, USA, have created bacteria that feed on light and contain semiconductor nanocrystals. Cyborg microbes can synthesize various organic compounds, doing it more efficiently than in the process of photosynthesis.

The non-photosynthetic bacteria Moorella thermoacetica, which produce acetic acid from carbon dioxide during respiration, were used in the experiment. The scientists added cadmium and the amino acid cysteine, which contains a sulfur atom, to the nutrient medium on which the microorganisms grew. As a result, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were formed, functioning as microscopic solar cells.

The hybrid microorganism, designated by the researchers as M.thermoacetica-CdS, is able to synthesize acetic acid from carbon dioxide, water and solar energy. Bacteria can be made to produce nutrients, fuels and plastics using genetic modification, scientists say. At the same time, this technology will be waste-free.

The quantum efficiency of ordinary photosynthesis reaches 30 percent, since it takes only 114 kilocalories (kcal) to assimilate one mole of carbon dioxide, although in reality this consumes an amount of photons containing 381 kcal. In cyborg bacteria, this figure is increased to 80 percent.
