Fisici russi e stranieri hanno capito come costringere materiali trasparenti, che lasciano passare completamente la luce, ad assorbire praticamente tutta la sua energia, si afferma in un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista Optica.

"I risultati teorici ottenuti in questo lavoro si sono rivelati molto contro-intuitivi: penso che nessuno degli autori prima dello studio avrebbe potuto ipotizzare che usando un sistema trasparente fosse possibile raggiungere questo risultato. Ma la stessa matematica ci ha spinto verso questo effetto, non sono ancora noti quali fenomeni si nascondono dietro lo schermo dell'elettrodinamica tradizionale", afferma Denis Baranov, ricercatore dell'Istituto di Fisica e Tecnologia di Mosca.

Oggi quasi tutti i fisici credono che la luce si comporti simultaneamente come una particella e come un'onda elettromagnetica. Sulla base di questa proprietà, che in passato impropriamente veniva chiamata "dualismo dell'onda corpuscolare", sono state costruite molte tecnologie moderne, in particolare le matrici di fotocamere e vari sensori di luce.

Normalmente sono costituiti da materiali che assorbono bene la luce. Cioè, l'energia delle particelle di luce che entrano in collisione con la loro superficie viene convertita in calore, in oscillazioni collettive di elettroni oppure altre forme di energia. Per le proprietà fisiche tutti questi materiali sono scuri, ma quelli trasparenti, come il vetro, non sono affatto adatti per questa funzione.

I fisici russi hanno scoperto che i materiali trasparenti possono tuttavia essere sfruttati per creare sensori di luce quasi ideali e celle solari ad altissima potenza.

Studiando come il campo elettromagnetico dei fotoni cambia nel momento in cui le particelle di luce passano attraverso un materiale trasparente, i fisici russi hanno notato che il materiale inizia ad assorbire l'energia dei fotoni se l'intensità del raggio cambia in un determinato modo.

Come spiegato dai ricercatori, ciò accade perché le onde disperse di luce che cercano di lasciare il materiale trasparente si sovrappongono e si autodistruggono, motivo per cui l'energia non riesce ad oltrepassare il vetro.

Questo effetto non è infinito: scompare quasi istantaneamente si interrompe il gonfiamento del materiale.

La scoperta ha implicazioni interessanti non solo dal punto di vista teorico: ad esempio l'accumulo di luce in un sistema trasparente consentirà di sviluppare la memoria ottica dei computer, capace di memorizzare le informazioni senza perdere energia e rilasciarle al momento giusto.

In our world there are a lot of problems regarding food. A lot of people can't afford to eat, and it is very sad thinking how much food we waste in our life. A secondary problem is to eat well. It doesn't mean you have to be vegan or vegetarian to eat well.

Health lies in the middle.

We don't need to be a chef to prepare supper, we only need a little effort to support our health and body by cookin food ourself, doing so, we will know exactly what we are eating and will be responsable for ourself.

We need to teache people how to eat well, and to prefer homecooked food to cheap fast food.

Healthyness is not a budget problem, we need to prevent health problems ad to cure them without looking at our wallet.

Food is always one of my priorities, and should be one of yours too.

I. Project Name: micro.sp Ultra low energy consumption wireless sensor.

Developer of wireless sensors with Ultra Low Power Consumption.

Owner of “micro.sp®”:  a breakthrough technology that enable the trillion sensor vision in the Internet of Things.

STE Industries: Ste industries is an advanced fabless R&D center that, using core technologies in the space of data telemetry, is able to create innovative advances across industries, delivering unmatched unique solutions in the emerging sectors of energy efficient wireless sensors applied to the Internet of every things and big data collection.

Micro.sp: is a patented Innovation in short range radio frequency and refers to an innovative pulse schemes that enables highly miniaturized wireless sensors with very low power consumption equivalent to 2-3 orders of magnitude better than conventional system. The “micro.sp®” technology unlocks next generation battery powered IOT Wireless Sensors: with a total energy requirement of less than 220nJ/bit, when compared to other standards truly allows system’s lifetime up to 10 years by using the smallest CR1225 12mm 48mAh capacity lithium cell and leading research in the space of energy harvesting as a power source.  “micro.sp®” technology, is a fully industrialized and commercially available device in the markets such as automotive, smart city, smart agriculture and vehicle monitoring and  demonstrated cost savings largely below competitors’ target.

Micro.sp is a Key Enabling Technology with a TRL (Technology Readiness Level) of 9 (production phase).

Background: “the Trillion sensor vision” - One of the components that builds for the new digital world is the wireless sensor that stays at the bottom of the pyramid (last connection) and collect the necessary data for analytics in mobile monitoring, wearable, health, agriculture, automotive industrial and more generally in the Internet of Things. In order to get there, there’s a need to completely transform the economy scale of production and get access to the new paradigm: the least of the energy consumption and the smallest price per bit collected.

History:STE Industries, a Spin-off of STE srl a company founded in 1965 as an early Italian pioneer in radio frequency research, focuses on Ultra Low Power Wireless Sensors for telemetry and the Internet of Things. STE Industries is currently working with a number of major research institutes and organizations to develop vibration and thermal based energy harvesting to power wearable sensors and nodes. Recently STE Industries has begun, through its licensee Bridgestone as the market leader in tyre manufacturing, the rollout of battery powered Ultra low energy devices for trucking fleets to measure pressure in tires (TPMS) and, through the Inpulse joint venture (see www.inpulse.tech for reference) the roll out of innovative systems for Smart Agriculture. This choice is because (i) fleets are more sensitive to TPMS benefits, namely from one to five percent improvements in fuel efficiency (due to correctly inflated tires) and the reduced downtime (early detection of slow leaks and puncture) for saving fuel and improved economy scale in the transportation and supply chain, and (ii) Smart Agriculture because of the impact it will have in the incoming digitalized world and reach up to the new concept of agri-food supply chain 4.0 as the new approach to 2050 policies food and health requirements to meet growth of worldwide population. micro.sp technology meets requirements in many of the market verticals such as industrial, building automation, lighting, smart city a smart tracking of assets thus enabling new business models opening new opportunities of collecting data reflecting what are the modern needs to improve industrial processes and optimize data processing in the IOT and big data mining domain.

Technology: The focus of the company is on low power wireless sensors. STE Industries’ wireless sensors consumes less than 500 nA with a total system’s budget, depending on the application specific requirements, below 2μW which corresponds two to three orders of magnitude more efficient than conventional Wireless sensors. The underlying technology - which the company calls ““micro.sp®” - uses very short radio frequency pulses for wireless communication. The length of the pulses is on the microscale, typically between 2-5 μS, and make use of a dedicated pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme to efficiently transmit in the short range sensor’s data such as pressure, temperature, battery life and many other values that can be monitored through standard transducers. Additionally, overall size is also reduced: in example whereas conventional TPMS consists of a dedicated plastic box beneath the tire stem containing electronics components, STE Engineering's TPMS incorporates the circuitry into the tire stem itself. Strategy and markets: STE Engineering is a technology developer, and does not generally support mass production - rather, it licenses to larger companies (as in the example it occurs in the field of TPMS where Bridgestone corp. is granted of a worldwide exclusive license to use in the field of tires), In the long term, the company is investigating the integration of sensors cured to tire carcass inner-liner and meet requisites of intelligent tire sensors (see key issue below) to measure various parameters in rolling conditions. STE industries is also investigating and developing applications in the industrial, smart city, lighting and white goods market.

Integration of micro.sp: Ste industries is currently working with giants Epcos, TDK and Microchip with the aim to integrate the micro.sp patented hardware into a small System in Package in the size of 7x7 mm with the ambition to provide integrated solution across verticals of markets such as Smart Agri-tech, Automotive, Industrial, Smart Logistic and wearables. For doing so STE has signed agreement with Epcos/TDK for the manufacturing of the micro.sp solution in the tiny package and deliver integrated systems for mobile devices and fast-growing business segments such as Internet of Things (IoT), drones, robotics, automotive applications and more.

Future perspectives and opportunities: to integrate micro.sp receiver in mobile, automotive (vehicle’s dashboard) and PC based platform to enable fast and efficient data collection through smart applications.

Energy Harvesting: STE Industries patented ultra-low power communication technologies joined to thermal micro-harvesting integration (provided by strategic partner Delta-Ti Research) is carried on to extends the applicability of IoT into unprecedented scenarios, where off-net powering is critical and mandatory.

On going partnerships: Epcos, TDK, Bridgestone, Octo Telematics, Ama, Flex, Telenor, Alcar. DeltaTi Research, Tieto.

Il più grande regalo di Asgardia è quello di darci una seconda possibilità, l'opportunità di ripartire da zero. Una nazione in cui il rispetto per il prossimo deve diventare legge. Una realtà regolata da norme giuste ed eque per tutti. Un luogo dove la prima regola deve essere il rispetto delle leggi che permettono di collaborare per il bene di Asgardia. Costruiamo insieme una nazione a cui possiamo essere fieri di appartenere. Per fare ciò è necessario mettere da parte i personalismi e gli interessi di parte che si espandono pericolosamente sulla Terra. Noi, primi cittadini di Asgardia, abbiamo una grande responsabilità. Perchè il nostro obiettivo non è solo essere ricordati come cittadini del regno, ma rendere Asgardia una nazione sana, prolifica e moderna da lasciare in eredità a chi lo diventerà in futuro. Viva Asgardia!

Mi chiamo Matteo Soldo e sono un ragazzo neomaggiorenne che vede in questo progetto una potenzialità ed una cura invidiabili da alcuni stati terrestri. Questa nazione è il primo vero collegamento fra l'uomo e lo spazio, e sarà in grado di garantire l'uguaglianza sociale; studio elettronica ma virerò su relazioni internazionali all'università, due materie che sono fondamentali, per costruire e far fiorire una società egualitaria. Un progetto, una nazione, con questa importanza storica hanno bisogno di persone con una forza di volontà e di mettersi in gioco di ferro, requisiti che spero riuscirete ad intravedere in me. Amo l'uomo e la scienza, voglio provare a far la differenza ed a diventare un membro attivo di questa società precorritrice.

I'm Matteo Soldo, a fresh 18-year-old boy who sees in this project such a potential and care which are enviable. This Nation is the first connection between humanity and space, and it will guarantee social equality; I study Electronics in high school and I will study international relationship at the university, two subjects that are fundamental to build and make an egalitarian society flourish . A project, a Nation, with such historic relevance needs people with a solid willpower and strong willow to get involved, requirements that I hope yu'll find in me. I love scince, and I love mankind, I want to make the difference and become an active member of this precursor society.

I'm Empathy, feel sensations, emotions, thoughts. Love the life, plants, animals and the magic of Universe. I research spirituality of the souls, the reality of the life, energy, I think Asgardia can begin our real future, the Space Nation of Human of Earth, for real love and scientific research in the Universe. For research other life in our Space.

We have faced a thousand difficulties, always. We made our mistakes. We are not perfect, indeed, we will never be, but the Asgardia project is aimed at the stars, wanting to take the road that will lead us to the future we all belong to.

With affection,

AEND

I'll be the next worst president in space (just like Trump in USA)
Don't believe it? just vote.
I speak 3 languages russian, english, and lithuanian.
If I can't rule asgardia then at least give me the Lithuanians of asgardia.
I promise ice cream for everyone who vote for me. and peace in space.
I'm now 18 so you'll be stuck with me for a long time.
