Today, November 9, the world of science and technology witnessed interesting events that this news has briefly covered.
According to RCO News Agency, The science and technology of Iran and the world today was accompanied by various news. Now, in this report, we will review the summary of these news.
The difference between fusion and nuclear fission from the language of a physicist
Globally, nuclear energy accounts for approximately 10% of electricity production, and in some countries, such as France, this figure is close to 70%. Big tech companies like Google are also turning to nuclear power to meet the massive energy needs of their data centers. According to Matthew Hole, a professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Faculty of Computing at the Australian National University, the source of nuclear energy is the binding energy of an atom. Energy stored in an atom can be released in two main ways including “fission” or “fusion”.
Improving the security of surveillance operations with night vision imaging drones
Due to the low security of imported drones, a group of researchers from one of the companies were able to produce imaging drones for monitoring and surveillance purposes, which according to them, it is possible to install various cameras such as night vision cameras on these birds. Qazivi, the managing director of this technology company, in an interview with Isna, announced this news and stated: Our collection is active in the field of commercial birds, and in this regard, our studies are focused on the development of birds for filming, mapping, agriculture, sprayers and seeders.
A house on the water!
The futuristic Arkup 50 is part of the Livable Yacht series of homes designed for full-time living off the grid. Its length is 50 feet (approximately 15 meters) and its maximum floor space is 2218 square feet (206 square meters). The exterior features large windows and optional folding decks that offer more outdoor space. This floating house is equipped with anchoring and stabilization technology. This version, however, is not hydraulic and instead consists of four motorized retractable outriggers that lift the boat above the waterline. The idea behind it is to provide stability for those who get hit by the sea, but it wouldn’t work in the middle of the ocean and it would need relatively shallow water, as the piers are 22 feet (6.7 meters) long.
Extending battery life by adding a new protective layer
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new method that can increase the lifespan of blue zinc-ion batteries several times. So instead of batteries lasting only a few thousand cycles, they can now withstand several hundred thousand charge and discharge cycles. The key to this innovation is a special protective layer for the zinc metal anode in the batteries. This layer can solve the previous problems, including the growth of needle-like structures of zinc metal called “zinc dendrites” and the unwanted side reactions of hydrogen formation and corrosion.
Graphene behaves like honey under terahertz radiation
An international research team led by the National University of Singapore (NUS) has shown that when graphene is exposed to electromagnetic radiation at terahertz frequencies, its electron flow heats up and its viscosity drastically decreases, resulting in lower electrical resistance. This behavior is similar to oil, honey, and other viscous liquids that flow more easily when heated on the stove. Terahertz (THz) waves are a special and challenging part of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between microwaves and infrared light. Terahertz waves have a wide range of potential applications. The ability to detect terahertz waves could unlock major advances in various technologies.
3 Chinese astronauts left for Tiangong space station
A Long March 2F rocket with a manned Shenzhou 19 spacecraft lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center yesterday, October 29 at 4:27 PM EST. According to the mission plan, Shenzhou 19 should dock and dock with the Tiangong Space Station about 6.5 hours after launch. These three astronauts are going to spend 6 months in Tiangong orbit, perform various experiments and have several spacewalks.
Development of enterprise web software with a new architecture based on artificial intelligence
The engineers of one of the innovative companies have introduced an intelligence system to organizations that is for the development of various web-based software and helps developers to have all the necessary tools to implement and develop a web-based software. One of the most important advantages of this system is the presence of various artificial intelligence tools in it. Mohammad Hossein Yazdanifar, the Chief Technology Officer of this innovative company, in an interview with Isna, said: We have created a new framework and architecture for web-based software, and since new techniques are used in the structure of this architecture, it is one of the most up-to-date. It is an architecture that can be used for enterprise software.
North Korea uses artificial intelligence for military purposes
North Korea, a country often referred to as a “technological recluse,” is reportedly taking steps to integrate artificial intelligence into its military operations. The use of artificial intelligence in warfare is a growing global trend, and North Korea’s influence in this field has worried defense analysts and world powers. The country, known for its covert operations and military concentration, could change its war strategies with advances in artificial intelligence-based information systems and autonomous systems.
James Webb’s latest image of the Phantom Spiral Galaxy
Today, NASA released a new image of the Phantom Galaxy, also known as Messier 74 and NGC 628. Messier 74 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. This galaxy is about 32 million light-years away from us and according to some, it is the most difficult object in the Messier objects to observe. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured this fascinating image. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the James Webb telescope send back an image of a phantom galaxy. NASA had previously released a photo of it in 2022 as well.
Manufacture of corrosion-resistant ceramic parts for power plant and petrochemical industries
The technologists of a knowledge-based company produced ceramic liners with very high resistance to corrosion and wear for the power plant and petrochemical industries. Seyed Ahmed Sharifnia, the CEO of this knowledge-based company, named the production of optical and non-optical grade ceramic nano powders, magnetic ceramic nano powders, granulation of various ceramic powders including aluminum oxide, shaping of various ceramic powders and sintering of various ceramic nano powders among the research fields of this company and said : Ceramic liners are among the knowledge-based products of this company, which have a very high resistance to corrosion and wear and are used in various industries, including power plants in wind turbines, mining and petrochemical industries.
