3D Panorama View To Be Offered By Virtual Reality Contact Lenses
Contact lenses that aid in improving eyesight with the help of MP 3D Panorama images are mostly being designed with funding from military. A new research has stated that, for people who do not want to rely on contact lenses can go for lenses that will be directly implanted within the eye.
With the passing time, nature of video displays have become complex for everyone starting from general public to...
World’s Smallest Battery Is 6 Times Thinner Than A Bacterium
Researchers at the Rice University have developed the world’s smallest battery that is just 150 nanometers in width — makes it six(6) thinner than a bacterium, hundreds of times thinner than a human hair and about 60,000 times smaller than a typical AAA battery.
Cnet reports:
The tiny battery is actually a cross between a battery and a supercapacitor. Supercapacitors can deliver more power...
Future Laptops Could Be Powered By Typing [RESEARCH]
Charge your laptop by typing on it — sounds like a perfect idea to one who believes in the ideal world. But this could soon become a reality as Researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) have successfully measured a piezoelectric thin film’s capacity for turning mechanical pressure into electricity — which is said to be a crucial step towards the development of...
Human Heartbeat Could Be Used To Charge Electronic Devices Such As iPod
Scientists are hoping that human heartbeat could be used to charge electronics which don’t require batteries such as an iPod. This comes after the development of a tiny chip which uses human body movements to generate power.
The team from National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society demonstrated their project by powering LCD displays and diodes.
The chip is actually made...
Microscopic Images Of Human Eye Reveals Its Complicated Structure[PICS]
Suren Manvelyan, a teacher by profession from Armenia, has taken the following snapshots of a human eye which provides a different perspective of its complex structure. These intensely detailed shots also resemble craters on Mars.
Manvelyan took these microscope pictures of the eyes of his friends, colleagues and students. He told the Daily Mail:
“It is quite natural when you shoot macro shots...
The World’s Smallest Periodic Table Engraved On a Single Human Hair
A group of scientists from the University of Nottingham Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre have managed to write what they believe is the world’s smallest periodic table on a single human hair. It certainly a great way not to get the periodic table out of your head.
Experts used a complex ion beam writer & an electron microscope to engrave the symbol of all 118 elements into the hair...
