Spray-on Rechargeable Batteries Could Store Energy Anywhere

[partner id="wireduk"] The paper, published in Nature Scientific Reports, explains that by breaking down the different components of a battery — the electrodes, separator, electrolyte and current collectors — and rendering them into liquid form, we could revolutionize the way we power our devices. Rather than being tied to fixed shapes and sizes, batteries could one day take on practically any form, and be applied almost anywhere. Berkeley Explains Why Google Trumps Microsoft.

The Uncertain Future of Moore’s Law

For examples of how digital technology is rapidly, profoundly, and unexpectedly shaping lives across the globe, look no further than today’s news: social media and the Arab Spring; the Stuxnet worm and the clandestine cyberwar against Iran; the proliferation of smartphones and tablets; the ubiquitous web and the cloud; Netflix streaming surpassing web surfing on the net; Bradley Manning’s data dump to Wikileaks; and Microsoft as the new tech underdog. The digital world is changing rapidly, and so are we. We have become accustomed to this state of perpetual flux, of this open-endedness in the application and proliferation of new digital technologies. We have already entered into an age of uncertainty about Moore’s Law itself.

But what we’ve taken for granted for decades may soon change. Tick Tock Model. Intel Tick-Tock. Roadmap[edit] See also[edit] List of Intel CPU microarchitectures References[edit] External links[edit]

The world's first monkeys to be created from the embryos of several individuals have been born at a US research centre. Scientists at the Oregon National Primate Research Centre produced the animals, known as chimeras, by sticking together between three and six rhesus monkey embryos in the early stages of their development.

Three animals were born at the laboratory, a singleton and twins, and were said to be healthy, with no apparent birth defects following the controversial technique. The chimeras have tissues and organs made up of cells that come from each of the contributing embryos. The mixtures of cells carried up to six distinct genomes.

Are Cell Phones Killing Bees? How the False Meme Spread – CleanTechnica: Cleantech innovation news and views. You may have seen the sensational stories on the Internet the past 24 hours that it’s finally been confirmed: Cell Phones KILL Bees! The only problem is… it’s NOT confirmed. That’s not what the study says. It’s not even what the original article says. The study. It's Official- Cell Phones are Killing Bees. Scientists may have found the cause of the world’s sudden dwindling population of bees – and cell phones may be to blame.

Research conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland has shown that the signal from cell phones not only confuses bees, but also may lead to their death. Over 83 experiments have yielded the same results. With virtually most of the population of the United States (and the rest of the world) owning cell phones, the impact has been greatly noticeable. Led by researcher Daniel Favre, the alarming study found that bees reacted significantly to cell phones that were placed near or in hives in call-making mode.
