The longest operating electronic computer
The Vijer 1 and its twin space probe, both launched by NASA in 1977, were the first man -made objects to reach the Intersteller Space. But this is not just the grip of the spacecraft. The computer command system of the Vyzer 2 has not been discontinued as it was first booted about 48 years ago, making it the longest continuous operating electronic computer.
The most cool place on earth
Can you hear your heartbeat? For most of us, there is no answer – as long as you are not standing in the Anicoic Chamber of Orfield Laboratories, in this case, you can also listen to the blood race through your veins and your own eyelid. The chamber in miniapolis holds the title for the smallest space on Earth, with the background noise of -24.9 a-wated decibels with the background noise-which means the surrounding sound is much below the threshold of human hearing.
Longest
An experimental electric bell at the University of Oxford in England has been rolling continuously for 185 years. Operated by two dried hemorrhoids – a starting type of battery – attached to the chain, Bell has cripled more than 10 billion times since being established in 1840. Its ringing, however, is now barely audible under the glass vine jar that protects the experiment.
The fastest typing using brain signals
For people with some neurodogenative conditions affecting muscle control, communication can be difficult. Brain -computer interfaces provide a solution by translating brain waves directly into the text. But recently, this translation has slowed down. In 2022, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco recorded the fastest communication through brain signals: 78 words per minute.
Best selling consumer electronics
Some consumer electronics, such as iPhone, looks omnipresent. About 18 years and about several generations, more than 2.3 billion Apple smartphones have been sold. But when you break it into different models, which devices have been the biggest success? See how some particularly popular devices are compared.
The strongest magnetic field on earth
At least among the magnets that do not explode with the strength of their own territory, the US National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has a record for the strongest magnetic field on Earth. The 100-Tesla region, which is about 2 million times as strong as the Earth’s magnetic field, can be turned on for 15 milliseconds just once in an hour.
Largest Titime Electric Spike
Britis love their tea. This is why the National Grid engineers of the United Kingdom have to manage an increase in energy use during popular broadcasting events, when many spectators put their kettles together. Biggest spike The 1990 World Cup took place during the semi -finals. After losing England’s sports-air penalty shootout, the demand for 2,800 MW, equal to the power used by about 1.1 million kettle, increased the demand for 2,800 MW.
Smaller pacemaker
Most pacemakers require aggressive surgery to transplant. But Evanston, Il. In Northwestern University researchers have developed a device that can be transplanted through the tip of a syringe. Measuring 3.5 millimeters in its largest dimension and adapted to newborns with heart defects, pacemakers – designed for patients who only require temporary pacing – only need to dissolve in the body after your work.
Fastest data transfer
Earlier this year, a team of the National Institute of Institute of Institute and Communications Technology and Sumitomo Electric exploded in Japan Record 1.02 million billion bits (petbits) 1,808 km in a second, or 1.86 exits per second-cilometer. At that rate, in a second, you can send everything to everyone in the world seen on Netflix 4,000 times from Tokyo in the first half of this year. A special 19-core optical fiber made it possible.
Fastest EV charging
The Chinese Automekar byd used a new fast-charging system, reaching 1,002 kW and adding a 421 km boundary to a Han L sedan within five minutes. It is about 84 kilometers per minute. In major innovations behind the tricks: 1,500-volt silicon carbide transistors and lithium iron phosphate batteries with half internal resistance of their predecessors.
