Super Mini Lab

|

Rather than have to bring patients to the laboratory, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), United States (U.S.), preferring to enter a 'lab' super-sized mini into the body of the patient.

Sophisticated, 'lab' is placed in a small capsule which is then implanted in the patient's body. Lab is used to detect tumors, heart damage, even the potential for heart attacks in the patient's body.

Because of the small size of miniature lab, researchers or doctors can drill through a needle biopsy or during normal inspection.

Furthermore, the tool is left inside the body, watching every development that occurs in the body and send the reports to a computer for analysis by a physician.

The inside of the 'mini labs' filled by such nanoparticle-containing antibodies that are specifically designed to be tied to specific molecules, such as that produced by certain types of tumors or damaged heart muscle cells.

There is also a porous membrane that keeps the nanoparticle while the other molecules from the body through it. Well, then the doctor can check the group of particles by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is simple.

From here, could be determined the density of certain molecular groups and doctors can detect the presence of a nearby tumor is growing or shrinking. Or, in the case of heart patients, doctors can monitor a heart attack are not known or signs of heart tissue damage.

VisiPics, File Photos Double Busters

|

You are fond of including personal action in front of the camera. Well, often times you save the shots in a double. For those of you Windows users may see a warning when the city found a double file.

However, a warning box that does not apply if you have forgotten - most likely yes - save the file separately. Luckily now there is a special application that can handle multiple files. Especially for the lazy type who is reluctant to check one by one file it is because it is too much. Application called VisiPics this might be an accurate solution.

As quoted from Visipic.info, VisiPics application is an application that allows users to search for similar images in the folder to be selected and then delete. To ensure the photograph is a duplicate, the user can see through feature Loose, Basic and Strict.

Another convenience, you do not need to search the entire folder, just select the folder where you want. Later, the photo search results will be displayed more clearly. If you already know which photos you want to delete, users simply select the photo in question and then click Delete.

Unfortunately, Visipics just looking for a double image but no other document files. In fact, the dual form of document files usually can be easily found and quite difficult to find one at a time.

DUO, Environmentally Friendly Cars

|

Natural resources of oil and gas that are limited to scourge all motor vehicle users on Earth, at least in the decades ahead. The inventors continue to find ways to utilize alternative renewable energy as a substitute for fuel oil and gas.

In addition to using solar energy or solar panels, some developers try to use electrical energy as alternative fuel vehicles. Myers Motors is one of them. Mini car manufacturer from Ohio, U.S. It is a deliberation on the concept car based on both electrical energy.

Previously, Myers Motors had introduced the concept of Myers Motors NMG ('No More Gas' or not using oil) the end of 2009 and began to be marketed at the end of last year.

Efficient car has three wheels, two in front and one behind, with a capacity of one passenger. He emerged as a product integration between motorcycles and cars. Still like the design of the motor, the main lights in the middle.

To illuminate a wider path, Myers also melangkapi two secondary lights, each one on the right and left of the main light. Dimensions of the car so that the design of the front like apart from the central body.

Now, Myers Motors introduces the new car re-named: DUO. If you see her face, passing it the same with NMG. Only DUO has two passenger capacity and battery power is greater.

Technically, the DUO is still regarded as an electric motorcycle, so allowed to park in motorcycle parking areas.

Those who ordered DUO before 31 December this year will be separated from the purchase tax burden by 10 per cent of the normal price of U.S. $ 2,500. Pre-production DUO likely to be completed by next April.

short video about the DUO told through his official website.

Alien Detection Tool

|

An instrument is being made at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, USA. Instruments that will be used in one of the largest and most powerful telescope ever made scientists in the Canary Islands, Spain.

This tool will be used by astronomers to help complete the data obtained in the Kepler spacecraft to find and characterize planets are thought to potentially contain alien life.

Spectograph instrument called HARPS-North (Hight-Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher) was designed to detect even small signal generated by the planet to orbit the Earth as small as close to its star.

"During this time, Kepler planets the size information based on the amount of light blocked when he crossed in front of its star," says David Latham, an astronomer at the Smithsonian.

Latham says, now it needs a tool to measure the mass of the planet, so researchers can find out the density of the planet in question. "This tool allows us to distinguish between rocky planets and planetary water from objects that are dominated by an atmosphere full of hydrogen and helium," he said.

How it works spectograph is by separating the light from a star into component wavelengths, or colors, just like the workings of a prism. Chemical elements will then be used to absorb light with a certain color, and leaving black lines in the spectrum of stars.

These lines slowly changed positions because of the gravitational influence of planets that orbit their stars and allow researchers to take measurements.

"HARPS-N will examine the most interesting objects are discovered by Kepler," said Dimitar Sasselov, director of the Harvard Origins of Life Initiative, a research center that studies of planet formation and evolution of early detection and source of life.

Sasselov said, HARPS-N will cooperate with the Kepler and is scheduled to begin to take measurements in April 2012.

Power Plant Flies

|

James Auger and Chris Melhuish design students, researchers from Birstol Robotics Laboratory, the British succeeded in creating a wall clock, lights, and robots that are different from robots in general.

Do not use electricity, batteries or solar power, the devices are getting energy from insects, especially flies.

Auger said he got the idea while observing how plants are able to get the energy and survive by eating insects that perch. Here's the video: Eater Insect Clocks.

Using a technology called a microbial fuel cell, researchers use bacteria and food (dead insects are captured).

After the bacteria consume the food, the researchers took the electron that is in these bacteria and become electric. Electricity is the primary source of energy for the robot, clock, or the lamp in question.

As an illustration, 8 carrion flies could supply electricity to operate for 12 days.

Death Ray Weapons

|

First, the large U.S. scientist who had become assistant to Thomas Alva Edison, Nikola Tesla, had proposed the concept of the Death Ray weapon that can be deadly.

However, until Tesla died, no one has actually found a prototype made by Tesla Death Ray, who claimed to be capable of destroying enemy objects from a great distance, without a trace.

As reported by dailymail, recently a teenager from the U.S. managed to make a Death Ray weapon in a smaller scale. Eric Jacqmain, youth 19 years from Indiana USA, managed to create a device that he called the "Solar Death Ray 5800 '.

He does have a somewhat different concept with the Death Ray made by Tesla, because the findings Jacqmain not use an electromagnet, but harnessing the power of the sun's heat.

Solar Death Ray is made from a satellite dish made from fiberglass, which has 5800 pieces of tiny mirrors that can reflect sunlight into a focal point of the same.

As a result, the device is able to melt steel, aluminum, punching holes in concrete, and burn any objects that are placed at the point of focus. Jacqmain claim, the heat can be generated by the device is 5,000 times the sun's heat in the Earth's surface.

"I have time to make the carbon to steam, with a temperature of more than 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit, or around 3600 degrees Celsius," said Jacqmain.

See video here

Unfortunately, now the tool that has been destroyed. An unintended accident, making the device caused a fire which then destroys the device itself.

However, Jacqmain not despair. Now he is developing other Solar Death Ray magnitude larger, which uses 32 thousand small reflector. Therefore, this tool he calls "Solar Death Ray 32K '.

Clothes War 'Liquid'

|

A revolutionary new findings in the military world is being developed in England. The shape, advanced bulletproof armor that is expected to save the lives of the soldiers in Medang war. Not the usual armor, rather than made of solid material, is made from a kind of liquid.

Scientists have created a top-secret substance that can absorb the power shots opponent or shrapnel. This substance will thicken and harden as the bullet touches the target.

British defense officials believe, this dress would be more lightweight, flexible, and offer greater protection to soldiers on the battlefield.

"Clothes liquid wars" High-tech is on display in a military conference in London, alongside a variety of gadgets a la James Bond.

What's the difference with regular armor?

The researchers have incorporated futuristic formula, which can thicken the liquid, between the sheets of Kevlar - a synthetic fiber material that bulletproof vests five times the strength of steel - to produce super armor.

Although called a liquid, molecules secret scientists who developed the form of custard-like, sort of pudding, which is relatively solid and liquid thicker than usual.

With this material, military experts say, heavy armor produced only half the normal weight vest,

that allows the soldiers to maneuver more freely. Currently, soldiers wearing heavy body armor made of ceramic plate and a layer of Kevlar. Besides weight, the clothes certainly uncomfortably hot war zones like Afghanistan that can reach 50 degrees Celsius.

This technology was developed by a team of scientists and security equipment company BAe Systems in Filton, Bristol.

The scientists tested the material superiority was by way of firing a bullet from a 9 millimeter caliber pistol to the 31 layers of Kevlar, compared with 10 layers of Kevlar combined with the super agent.

As a result, liquid protective clothing when exposed to the projectile, the impact was spread in the wider region. This will reduce the possibility of soldiers injured or killed by the force of a bullet because it is not concentrated in one small area.

Meanwhile, the traditional protective clothing has side effects: cause bruising, cracked ribs, and even damage to internal organs.

BAE Systems will develop these sophisticated armor that can withstand the power of the heavier weapons, including AK47 assault rifle used by the Taliban.

The manufacturers believe the army could use a new protective vest in two years. "There are quite a lot of capital from the Department of Defense. We hope this can be used immediately in the front line soldiers," said Nick Haigh, a spokesman for BAe Systems.

"Traditional protective Kevlar vest is very effective but too heavy and big. If we are able to reduce the heavy burden for the army, they will work more effectively."

New Way to Charge the Battery

|

Several years into the future, charge the battery using electrical energy may be ancient. Because it will emerge a new way to charge the battery more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. One example, charge the battery with a 'breathing' air!

Yes, fresh ideas are coming from IBM and fall into one of five technological innovations that put IBM in the next five years. Mentioned IBM, advances in battery technology and the transistor allows a device to survive 10 times the current capacity.

IBM estimates, scientists in future years no longer develop lithium-ion batteries such heavy use today. One alternative, namely to make the battery can be charged with air.

"They made a battery that uses the air we breathe and then to react to energy-dense metal material so that the battery could last longer," said IBM in a written statement.

Mentioned IBM, if successful result is a rechargeable battery, lightweight, powerful and is able to give any power, ranging from consumer devices to electric cars.

IBM also reverse the basic building blocks of electronic devices is a transistor, for the amount of energy per transistor can be suppressed to less than 0.5 volts.

"With low energy requirements, we may no longer require batteries in small devices, like cell phone or e-reader," said IBM.

As a result, IBM was mentioned electronic devices without a battery that can be refilled with a technique called energy scavenging. This technology is already used in several modern products, such as watches. Thus, the clock was no longer playing and the battery can be charged with moving arms

Ivy Cars

|

The students from the University of of New South Wales managed to break the record for solar-powered vehicle. They managed to break the speed record had been using a vehicle called Sunswift IV or also called Ivy.

Ivy driven by Barton Mawer behind the wheel, managed to carve speed 55.14 miles per hour or 88.7 kilometers per hour. This speed exceeds the previous record which is only 79 km per hour.

Speed record that can be achieved at the Ivy on two occasions in two paths along the 2.5 km, at the AU headquarters in Australia, Nowra. Ivy's own top speed record was 56.85 miles per hour or 89.88 km per hour.

"It's a long road, but we are very pleased with the results we've achieved," said project manager Sunswift, Daniel Friedman, told Wired.

According to the driver Mawer, Ivy is very stable while driving, even though its handling was little changed, after this vehicle battery cells - specifically designed for long journeys, was released by the team.

"This vehicle is designed to stabilize at speed before, so the aerodynamics makes the vehicle becomes stable," says Mawer.

However, Ivy is targeted to be able to run even faster. Currently, Ivy was optimized again to face the World Solar Challenge to be held next October.

"Our vision is the presence of other teams that will challenge us and our record back. We even tried to find a new vehicle that is designed specifically for this record to get a more efficient vehicle again, 'said Friedman.

Saudi Arabian officials catch bird Nasar, vultures on charges of spying for Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.

In the body of birds captured was fitted with a GPS transmitter and a label bearing the code R65 from the University of Tel Aviv. The bird went into the rural areas of Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago.

The locals suspect was part of a Zionist plot, or at least intelligence missions carried that bald-headed bird.

Newspapers Saudi Arabia, al-Weeam is the first time that contain the incident. Bird carcasses were mentioned landed near the home of a sheikh in Hayel community. Newspaper articles that call, the stench out of the mouth of the bird.

Meanwhile, local Israeli newspaper, Ma'ariv reported that bird discovery has created mass hysteria in the Arab countries - about the growth of Israeli military power.

Israeli officials claimed the bird was innocent. GPS and the label code is part of the study of migration patterns of bird carcass.

The incident comes just weeks after an official report about the shark that attacked Egyptian tourists in the waters of Sharm el Sheikh is also related to Israeli intelligence activities.

The use of birds in intelligence activities has long been known. First, confidential information written on a piece of paper attached at the foot of Pigeon. October 2008, Iranian security forces arrested two suspected spy Pigeon Natanz - the location of the headquarters of Iran's uranium enrichment.

Animals were fitted with steel rings and small appliances are difficult to be seen by the normal eye. May 2010 ago, Indian officials do the same thing. A pigeon who arrested suspected to be spies archenemy India, Pakistan.

Strategic role of birds also inspired the United States Department of Defense headquarters, the Pentagon, to produce nano aerial vehicle type vehicles (NAV), sized mini that can fly. His job, spying on the enemy in urban areas.

Tool is equipped with sophisticated sensors that would resemble a bird or Hummingbird Hummingbird, the world's smallest bird species that can weigh only 1.8 grams.

Still remember the presence of sex robot that when the launch was so horrendous? Yes, this sex robot really seems to interest many people. Many of them want a sex robot made similar to our world-class actresses.

Scott Maclean, one of the inventors from the United States who work in the field of prototype robots since 2004 said that he had been contacted by several customers who came from England.

"Some people have contacted us, including a man who claims himself a nobleman. We also have several subscriptions from Europe, Russia, Korea and other countries," added Scott.

Scott reported that he received orders to make robots that are similar to Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson. "But I can not make a model of a robot like them without permission," he said.

"A few weeks ago I was involved in a discussion with a woman who wants sex like a robot made with actor Graham Norton. He seemed very serious," added Scott.

In addition to Scott, there is Douglas Hines who developed the first sex robot named Roxxxy made of hypoallergenic silicone and has a human hair.

Hines explains homemade robot is really a sex robot who can be relied upon by its human partner. Because not only adept in matters of the bed, Roxxxy claimed to have a personality, a good listener, to talk, feel the touch, even fall asleep.

"We have relationships with distributors adult shop in London. We hope this sex robot can be sent to Europe later this year," lid Douglas.
