Segway Ninebot RC Scooter

08.02.2021

The American electric scooter rental company Spin operates in various cities in the United States and provides scooter rentals that you can leave at your destination.

In San Francisco, California, where Spin has the largest fleet of scooters, the San Francisco Department of Transportation requires operators to respond to improperly parked scooters within two hours and can fine the operator $100 for each such scooter. This is to prevent scooters from parking on the pavement where they interfere with the movement of pedestrians and people with disabilities.

Spin said it takes this very seriously. The average parking time for her scooters over the past three months is 54 minutes. Spin plans to return them to the base in the future without involving employees. To achieve this goal, Spin has announced an alliance with Tortoise to launch a new type of scooter called the Spin S-200.

This remote control scooter will hit cities in North America and Europe in 2021. It, developed by Segway Ninebot, will become part of the Spin Valet platform. Initially, such scooters will appear in Boise, Idaho.

In the spring, Spin plans to hit the streets with 300 Spin S-200 scooters with remote control, front and rear cameras and GPS. Operators from Tortoise will be able to safely move the vehicle at speeds up to 5 km/h.

These scooters will be equipped with replaceable batteries. The company said that over time, users will be able to call the electric scooter to their destination.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

Bioelectronic soil accelerates plant growth 30.12.2023

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have unveiled an innovative bioelectronic soil that can significantly accelerate plant growth in hydroponic systems. Hydroponics, as we know, is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrients. After integrating the new material into hydroponic systems, scientists noticed that electrical signals stimulated plant growth by 50%.

Bioelectronic soil includes organic matter mixed with the leading polymer Pedot, which is widely used in sensors and OLED displays. Study leader Eleni Stavrinidou emphasizes that soil conductivity is a key factor for stimulating plant roots.

During the experiment, over 15 days, scientists studied the effect of electrical signals on barley sprouts. Even at a low voltage of 0,5 V, the roots responded actively, which led to a significant increase in plant size. Particularly effective was the improvement in the processing of nitrogen, one of the main nutrients for plant growth.

Stavrinidou notes that, despite the positive results, the mechanism by which stimulation affects growth processes requires additional research. However, bioelectronic soil may provide a solution to increase yields in conditions where environmental factors interfere with normal plant growth.

In addition, this technology can reduce the use of fertilizers in agriculture. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the number of farms in the country has been steadily declining due to climate change and economic difficulties.

The introduction of bioelectronic soil into hydroponic systems not only enhances plant growth, but also offers an energy-saving solution, reducing water and energy consumption on farms. Such innovations play an important role in improving agricultural efficiency and ensuring food security.
