air int water

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Johathan Ritchey has invented the Watermill, which is an atmospheric water generator. It converts air into fresh water.

Air Into Water

This latest technology invention produces fresh water at a cost of about 3 cents a liter (1 quart). Originally designed for areas that do not have clean drinking water, the Watermill is for households that prefer an eco-friendly, cost effective alternative to bottled water.
Atmospheric water generators convert air into water when the temperature of the air becomes saturated with enough water vapor that it begins to condense (dew point).
"What is unique about the Watermill is that it has intelligence," says Ritche. This makes the appliance more efficient. It samples the air every 3 minutes to determine the most efficient time to convert the air into water.
It will also tell you when to change the carbon filter and will shut itself off if it cannot make pure clean water.

Batteries That Operate With Any Liquid

                                    Chungpin Liao, a professor at the Graduate School of Electro-Optic and Material Science of National Formosa University in Taiwan has invented an organic battery that creates electricity when wet. The "organic" battery generates a charge within 10 seconds and will last anywhere from two days to a week depending on the liquid. It works with water, beverages or even urine.
Although it will only produce half the strength of traditional batteries, the organic battery has a storage capacity greater than water-powered fuel cells and is very cheap to manufacture.
"Plus it contains no toxic substances and does not pose an environmental hazard" says Chungpin.
Liao received his degree in nuclear engineering from National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan. He earned his Masters and Ph.D degrees in plasma science and fusion technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, United States.

body interfacing

Body Interfacing

One of the newest invention ideas in interface devices is Skinput.
This invention allows the sufaces of your body to be used as a touchscreen.
This is how it works.
An armband projects the image of a menu or keyboard onto your hand or forearm. This armband also contains an bio-acoustic sensor that can detect and analyze sound frequencies.
Because of bone density, joints, and soft tissue, different locations on the body have different acoustic properties.
When you tap your finger on different parts of your body it creates a unique frequency based on the specific area.
Skinput can detect what part of a projected image you are touching and in turn can transmit a wireless signal to a computer, smart phone or other device.
Skinput was created by the project team of Desney Tan, a senior researcher in the Visulization and Interaction Area at Microsoft Research; Dan Morris, a researcher in the Computational User Experiences at Microsoft Research; and Chris Harrison, a third year Ph.D student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy.

5G technology

5g technology

                                                         The fifth generation mobile technology is the latest invention after 2G, 3G or 4G in the list of research and developmental projects. Currently, 5G is being used to develop beyond the limitations of 4G technology.
                                                             It is also being developed to utilize wireless technology to the best of its ability. But, the problem lies in the fact that, experts in technology are doubtful about the development and success of 5G since there aren’t any set standards or specifications which can certify any device as a 5G device. 
                                                                     In the past, 2G and 3G wireless technologies took over 10 years to develop. Thus, it is but natural for the experts to be disinterested due to lack of any solid research on 5G technology.

Would it lead to faster data rates?    

                                    In the developing stages, probably no.  Just like, 3G brought over several changes than 2G, 4G is much more advanced than 3G. 
                                    However, the concentration on the 5G technology would be on erasing out the service boundaries. 
                                  Today, the service provided is limited by its reach and coverage. The key ideas brought in the forefront by the research hints at the idea that users will be able t switch between several networks if the current network signal becomes weak.

When can we expect to use it?

                                                                  5G is still in a pre-developmental stage and thus it will take months and years before it can be implemented on a large scale basis to be capable of using.

Nanodiamond Circuits to Work in Extreme Conditions

                                  Scientists at Vanderbilt University have developed computer chips and circuits made up of Diamond film to make them more venerable than their silicon counterparts. Transistors and Logic gates of Diamond have already been developed and they are now working to create complete microelectronic devices with diamond parts. Such devices can operate at higher speed and need less power than silicon made devices.
In journal Electronics Letters, the design of such diamond logic gates have been described. Research Professor and head of team, Jimmy Davidson said that devices using diamond parts will not be expensive as 1 carat of diamond can be fabricated to make around 1 billion such devices. Diamond films used to create these devices are made up chemical vapor deposition technique that uses hydrogen and methane. This form of diamond is much cheaper than conventional diamond used in jewelry. This makes them economical and a tough competitor to silicon parts.
Nanodiamond circuits use technologies of old fashioned vacuum tubes as well as solid state microelectronics. A thin film of diamond is laid down on silicon oxide layer. This facilitates movement of electrons through vacuum between nanodiamond components. This reduces the problem of heating up of normal microelectronics devices as in these types of devices a vacuum movement of electron occurs. Also diamond being the best electron emitter needs much less energy to produce electron beams, which in turn reduced the electricity consumption to operate these devices.
Another major advantage of nanodiamond devices is that such devices are immune to radiation damage which causes the tripping of circuits in normal electronics devices. As electrons moves in vacuum in nanodiamond devices, there are no energetic particles to disrupt.
So you can easily imagine the benefits of such nanodiamond devices.

Quantum Computers Using Microwave Technology

sciencegeek on August 14th, 2011

Scientist has got success in linking the quantum properties of two separated ions using microwaves to manipulate them. This is currently done with the help of laser beams and now this advancement can shrink the size of quantum computers. This research has been done at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) which has been published in Nature.
Microwaves have been used previously in manipulating single ions, but this is the first time when scientist from NIST used this on two separated ions places just 30 micrometers away. This kind of process give rise to a quantum mechanism which is crucial for information transportation and error correction in Quantum computers.
The mentioned experiment use desktop scale table of lasers and very small mirrors and lenses that are around 1/10 th of the sizes that are actually used these days. Microwave components can be easily expanded to make a practical quantum computer system. Also by using microwaves they were able to reduce errors that are however caused by using laser beams due to incorrect pointing issues and power.
Scientist Dietrich Leibfried said that it may be possible to have a quantum computer of a size of smart phone in near future. More powerful quantum computer can be made up to a size of Desktop PC
