ASRock Mars 4000U Mini PC

01.12.2020

Taiwanese manufacturer ASRock has unveiled the world's thinnest nettop based on AMD Ryzen 4000U (Renoir) series APUs. The novelty is called Mars 4000U and is ready to offer as a basis the installation of a processor up to the Ryzen 7 4800U model, equipped with 8 cores, 16 threads and operating at a frequency of up to 4,2 GHz.

The company proposes to equip the compact nettop with dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM up to 64 GB. The graphics capabilities of the system are provided by the Radeon graphics integrated into the central processor.

Wireless networking capabilities of the system can be provided by the Intel AX200 modem module with support for the Wi-Fi 6 standard. Despite the compact size of the computer, which is 194 × 150 × 26 mm (0,7 liter volume), the novelty can be equipped with an NVMe M. 2 and a 2,5" hard drive.

The ASRock Mars 4000U nettop is equipped with seven USB connectors: one USB 3.2 Type-C, four USB 3.2 Type-A and two USB 2.0. In addition, the novelty received one network connector, one line-out, one headphone and microphone output, a slot for microSD memory cards, as well as one HDMI and D-Sub.

The nettop is equipped with a VESA mount and comes with a stand that allows you to set the mini PC in a vertical position. Windows 64 10-bit operating system is supported.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Recyclable printed circuit boards 03.05.2024

Electronics play a key role in today's world, but the accompanying rise in e-waste is putting the environment at risk. In response to this problem, researchers at the University of Washington have developed an innovative technology that could change conventional wisdom about circuit board recycling. A team led by scientists from the University of Washington has created a vitrimer printed circuit board that has the unique ability to be recycled multiple times. Using advanced environmentally friendly polymers, the researchers developed a material that can be turned into a jelly-like substance using a special solvent. This opens the way for PCBs to be reused and recycled without significant loss of quality. Vitrimer printed circuit boards (vPCBs) represent significant advances in environmental sustainability. Unlike conventional plastics, which are susceptible to degradation during repeated recycling, jelly-like vitrimer retains its ... >>

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. ... >>

Tires with electronic stud extension 10.03.2014

Finnish tire manufacturer Nokian Tires has developed a new winter tire with retractable studs. Thanks to this, drivers will be able to use the same tires in different weather conditions. After pressing a button inside the car, a hard metal core in the center of the spike is removed inside the wheel. At the same time, its outer body remains motionless. All spikes on the wheels are hidden or released at the same time.

New Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV winter tires were used on the prototype to demonstrate the created technology. The announcement of the novelty took place as part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the creation of the first winter tires under the Nokian brand.

Nokian Tires has not yet provided details on how the new system works. According to the developers, the created automotive rubber with retractable spikes is currently only a concept, but the manufacturer does not exclude its appearance in the future on the mass market.

The benefits of this technology are clear. Theoretically, one set of tires can be used in different seasons. The driver will be able to activate the spikes for driving on an icy road and remove them while driving on asphalt. Thus, the studs will last longer, and driving in warm weather on dry roads will be less noisy and more comfortable.

Even the approximate price of such tires is not yet known, but, most likely, if the product is released, it will not be cheap, and therefore it will be used on luxury cars.

Such "all-weather" tires with retractable studs were already shown in 2007 by the American company Qtires, but since then there has been no information about its entry into the mass market. This rubber, called Q Celsius, has two air chambers, one of which serves to inflate the tire, and the other to build up pressure, due to which the spikes are extended. This second air box is inflated by a wireless signal from the driver. It was assumed that the cost of Q Celsius will be 30% higher compared to conventional studded tires.
