The “Intel Inside” tag has marked the desktop PCs (74% acc. Q4 2008) since the 1990s. In 2020, Intel expects to stample “Intel Inside” on our foreheads.
According to PhysOrg, Computer chip maker Intel wants to implant a brain-sensing chip directly into the brains of its customers to allow them to operate computers and other devices without moving a muscle.
Research projects to connect animal brains to robots have been carried out for many years. Rats and monkeys have already been able to control robots with brain signals. It was a matter of time before some large company announces a product that will allow human brain to communicate with electronic devices around them. Who’s better than the world leader in silicon innovation and world’s largest semiconductor chip maker to take that challenge? Read more…
Developments in mobile phones are generally targeted to the mass and to satisfy the needs of the normal user in the daily life. We have seen High definition camera, Mobile TV, Mini Projectors in Mobile Phones, internet browser and more or less a tiny computer, not to forget the wide range of applications in the smart phones (especially iPhones and android based handsets) that transform the phone to a GPS receiver, sophisticated game console and so on. But a microscope ??
While this is not a feature that a normal mobile user would need, but it certainly has an advantage for researchers out in the field away from the lab. Using about $10 off-the-shelf components and mobile phone, the researchers at UC Berkeley have created a microscope.
Check the video below to know more about this innovation. Read more…
Researchers at the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University, Sweden have discovered a way to store energy using green algae. The new battery from Uppsala is very promising. It is easy to manufacture, cheap and charges in no time.
This is what you bascially get by mixing algae cellulose, conducting polymers and salt water. Read more…
