Latest of Tomorrow

It's time for the nano revolution. Nanotech research, which is the science of manipulating matter at molecular scale, has come a long way in recent years. Scientists envision a future in which nanorobots, machines and transporters perform a variety of tasks benefiting industries ranging from medicine to manufacturing. Now the dreams coming true. A tiny nano-sized car which can propel itself forward in response to electrical pulses has been created by scientists in the Netherlands. The electric-powered vehicle, which is the size of a single molecule, has a chassis and four paddle-shaped wheels and is roughly one-billionth the size of a traditional hatchback car. The car traveled six nanometers on its initial journey and required 500 millivolts of electricity for every half revolution of its wheels, quite a bit proportionately.

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology have invented the world's first artificial leaf that can turn water into hydrogen and oxygen with the help of sunlight without needing any external connections, is seen with some real leaves, which also convert the energy of sunlight directly into storable chemical form. Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced something they’re calling an “artificial leaf”: Like living leaves, the device can turn the energy of sunlight directly into a chemical fuel that can be stored and used later as an energy source. In this a silicon solar cell with different catalytic materials bonded onto its two sides which needs no external wires or control circuits to operate. Bound onto the silicon is a layer of a cobalt-based catalyst, which releases oxygen, a material whose potential for generating fuel from sunlight was discovered by Nocera and his co-authors in 2008. The other side of the silicon sheet is coated wit...

Did you ever think about producing energy from the window of your home to meet up with the energy needs? An Israeli company named Pythagoras Solar invented the World’s first transparent Photovoltaic glass unit (PVGU) which will produce energy from sunlight directly. Pythagoras Solar beat out nearly 5000 entrants to win this year’s $100,000 GE Ecomagination Challenge, which recognizes the most promising green energy building innovations, for its unique solar window. According to the CEO of Pythagoras Solar, the window will produce benefits such as power generation and reducing the building energy needs, while allowing light in. The technology is its optical design uses direct light to generate energy, while optimising daylight inside the building. Photovoltaic Glass Units (PVGUs), are compatible with standard glazing systems, combine energy efficiency, high density solar power generation and transparency. PVGUs employ a prism system that steers most of the so-called direct ...

Yes! It is possible now! by simply switching on the light bulb or LED, you can also switch on the wireless internet connection at home. The British Physicist of Edinburgh University Prof. Harald Hass who claims to have developed a technology which can send data through the same connection as a normal lamp.Prof. Harald says the invention , dubbed D-light can send data faster than 10 megabits/second, which is the speed of a typical broadband connection, by altering the frequency of the ambient light in the room. He says the other possibilities of the device which he has dubbed "Li-Fi", or Light Fidelity include sending wireless data from 'white space' in your TV spectrum and unused satellite signals. He said he could turn all incandescent bulbs and LED's into internet transmitters. It has applications in Hospitals, Airplanes where passengers can browse internet  through signals beamed out of the bulb on board, Military and even in underwater.  The visible ligh...
