iPad 3 in 2012!

Good news for the fans of Apple that the tech giant is likely to relaese the brand new iPad to add golden feather to its crown. The iPad 3 release date and even the iPhone 5 release date are not yet officially announced by Apple representatives, but they are expected to be released in 2012. The iPad 3 is expected to have more enhanced features, better specifications, as well as more improved iPad apps. Because of these enhancements. It is expected to be slightly thicker than the second-generation model, seemingly to make room for a high-resolution Retina Display. Apple Inc. will feature an A6 processor built by Samsung for the new Apple iPad 3 and new iPhones released in 2012. This information is not absolute, and it comes from an anonymous source, but it is still interesting nonetheless, and very well might be true.  The sources claim iPad 2 production remains high, likely in the 14 to 15-million unit-range during the fourth quarter this year, but Apple will decrease iPa...

Technologies to Cure Night Blindness/ Tunnel Vision

Good news for the people who are visually aided with Retinitis Pigmentosa or otherwise known as Night Blindness or Tunnel Vision.  It is a tiny implantable microchip permitted patients, who had given up on seeing again to read a clock or identify daily objects. The wafer-thin device is to be implanted for the first time in University of Oxford and London, with surgery scheduled within weeks, the Daily Mail reported. Most of the middle-aged patients were to be treated for retinitis pigmentosa.  A microchip packed with 1,500 light sensors is implanted to the back of the eye. The sensors convert light to electrical signals, which stimulate nerves in the retina to pass down signals to optic nerve which would gap into the brain to form an image. Technology varies with different Universities and researchers worldwide are trying to find ways to use electronics to improve visual recognition.  Last year, MIT announced it had developed a chip implant that could restore ...

Nokia to Launch Tablets

Cellphone maker Nokia plans to launch a tablet that runs on Microsoft's Windows operating system in the summer of 2012, the head of Nokia France Paul Amsellem told to a newspaper. Nokia has said using Microsoft Windows 8 for tablets could be an interesting opportunity for the company but it has not yet unveiled any launch plans. The tablet would compete with Apple's iPad. "In June 2012, we will have a tablet that runs on Windows 8," Paul Amsellem told. Earlier this year, Nokia-Microsoft entered into strategic partnership to counter their competitors in the market. It is exciting to see the new windows 8 tablet competing with iPad. If released, the table will the 1st tablet by NOKIA. This can be seen as the 1st step to fight back their competitors Apple and Google.

Nano Sized Car Invented

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.

Electronic Tongue! New Way to Taste

Now you not need to wait in front of the market to taste the different varieties of fruits and other eatables. Its all the newly developed 'Electronic Tongue' will do it for you. Researchers at the Center for Molecular Recognition and Technological Development (IDM) and the CUINA group of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) in Spain have developed a new electronic tongue system that analyzes the antioxidant powers of juices, fruit and fruit purees. Electronic tongues, using electrochemical techniques, help us to sort food samples in situ and to quantify their physio chemical parameters, in a fast and economical way," said Ramon Martinez Mañez in a news release from AlphaGalileo. Mañez is a researcher at the UPV and IDM. The Working: A computer compares scans of the array of dots before and after the paper is wetted with an eyedropper full of liquid. After running dozens of samples of mystery artificial sweeteners dissolved in water or tea, the research ...

'Artificial Leaf'-A New Energy Source

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...

Graphene, The next Generation Processor

Graphene, the world's thinnest and toughest material, could spur the development of next generation computer chips, besides revolutionising materials science.Its amazing properties open the way to bendable touch screen phones and computers, lighter aircraft, paper thin HD TV sets and lightning-quick net connections, and more. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice or arranged in a hexagonal pattern resembling chicken wire. In graphite, many flat graphene sheets are stacked together. The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm, who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962. Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or "flake" form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.Graphene transi...
