Odd & ugly scars

When anybody faces an accident, after healing he faces scars on his or her body. Particularly the face scars give an odd looking. It is because, the skin on the sides of the wound starts to pull apart, and the support by fibrous joints no longer there.

As a result the scars formed around the wound due to the tissues. Nobody wants these scars due to oddness and ugliness.

The problem has overcome by the researchers of Stanford University. They developed a new type of dressing that didn’t allow the wounds to stress mechanically. This nasty element formed the scars.

The researchers which produced this dressing are made of a thin layer of elastic silicone which is pressed over the wound after the removal of fibrous joint. The magical plastic layer begins to contract evenly within proper time and presses the edges of the wound all together. The plastic layer didn’t allow the edges to pull apart. Thus there appears no scar.

Controlling of temperature after blood loss

The soldiers took part in a battle and scarifies for their country, give their life due to the loss of blood. In medical terminology it is called “Hypothermia”, in this condition the temperature of the body falls low and due to the loss of blood they face death.

The students of New Jersey institute trying to develop a new kind of device which will help soldiers who fought in battle fields. The device can prevent the happening of hypothermia by heating the blood artificially till medical aid could provide. At this time by this device researchers are raising body temperature after blood loss. The condition of the injured person become stable after 16 hours to raise the temperature to a require level.

This device could work in a shorter period of only 4 hours and pass warm air to the lungs of injured person. When the blood supply passes from the lungs, the body temperature rises to safe levels.

Bacteria producing electricity

Surely he did magic who produce electricity from bacteria who was a professor of botany in the University of Durham in UK before a century. The basic of this magic is biological fuel cells which have been investigated for production of electricity.

The professor’s work was developed by a Japanese scientist in 1976. Microbial fuel cells have an anode and a cathode chamber, while the electricity is produced by eating away of organic matter.

How the electricity is produced in not still understood. But a team of scientists at the University of Anglia discovered the real structure of bacterial proteins which produce the electrical current.

This structure is design by the nature that alleviates the apparent motion of electrons from the inner portion of bacterial cell to the outside atmosphere, hence causing the electrical current.

Take a hover bike for flying

You know very well that people cross English Channel daily by hovercrafts.

These are the ships fly only two feet above the surface of water. Keeping in mind the same idea Australian craftsman Chris Malloy has developed a motor cycle and named it Hover bike that will fly several thousand feet above the ground.

The hover bike is design in this way that it can fly with a speed of 173 miles/ hour when flying in the air. This hover bike is made of carbon fiber and has 2 ducted spinning propellers. It is expected that we will be soon flying in this hover bike, because its first flight is taking place by August of this year.

Paper fabrics

An interesting and incredible fabric has been introduced in the market which is paper fabrics. By this product mobile telephones and electrical devices may be made by paper. The scientists of Carolina University found it possible to deposit conductive nano coatings on paper. You will be surprise to know that all kinds of such material can be used in electronic devices. The coatings are thousands of times thinner than a human hair, and are made up of inorganic materials. They can be coated on paper, cotton and on   polypropylene materials that are usually used for making daily used bags.

Surely, the launch of iPhone by Apple change the complete scenario of the cell phones and telecommunication industry, sending out shock wave to major cell phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Samsung and capturing the major part of consumer electronics, thus one again Apple has proven to be the best in consumer electronics.

If iPhone 3GS wasn’t enough, Apple introduces iPhone 4GS with upgraded Retina Display screen alongwith its 5 megapixel camera and Facetime video Calls and HD video recording. With these entire features, it is a must have upgraded iPhone. As iPhone 4GS has Apple A4 Processor same as that is used in iPad and this processor gives more moderated speed as compared to 3GS.

As for aesthetic, it is apparent that iPhone 4GS is almost 25% thinner and lighter then the previous series. Furthermore the iPhone 4GS has a higher resolution display that goes up to 540 x 960 output. Now this is a magnificent improvement. People tune to watch video from their portable devices are more intrigued and fascinated and their enthusiasm has made Apple’s iPhone a powerful miniature multimedia monster. Not to forget the audio playback and sound quality is already remarkable and legendary. This also adds to the iPhone’s value.

As compared to previous iPhone models, 4GS has 802.11, which makes it a hybrid of the previous models that were capable of Wi-Fi net phones.

iPhone 4GS despite of it low resolution already had an outstanding camera. However, Apple’s has push it up to 5 megapixel also adding another front camera as the most prominent feature in iPhone series. So, yes, iPhone 4GS is now able to make video calling. Despite a lot of percentage of people like the new video calling ability of iPhone, there are most of them that just like it as a novelty.

Not ignoring the fact tht the battery life of iPhone has exceeded to what company had promised. Consumer’s usage of cellphone solely depends upon how long we can use it. iPhone 4GS has 7 hours of talk time,10 hours of internet browsing, usage and using Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video calling and not to forget over 40 hours of audio playback.

Apple’s iPhone 4GS being the slimmest smart phone would be a misleading statement. 4GS is actually thicker from the edges as compared to 3GS tapered ones. It s rear is of glass and is more slippery. As for the 4GS’s controls, ports and jacks are the same place as previous models. However the volume controls & home key may need a slight more firmer touch to avoid accidental press.

Apple’s iPhone is a remarkable piece of gadgetry and is a complete package. It has displayed major upgrades compared to previous models in respect to speed, battery camera and display. If you do not own or are in possession of 3GS then for new users this would be the best time to experience Apple touch technologies in cellphone associated with multimedia device.

However, iOS 4 runs in 3GS also but a hybrid version of this gadgetry is a must for fanatics those can enjoys the benefits of a new screen of 4GS.

If you are worried about how many calories you are going to consume in that slice of pizza, chocolate cake or fruits? A new invention may help you. After taking a picture of the edible with the new camera like invention, it gives a calorie read-out almost instantly. This device is called MealSnap, was developed by DailyBurn, a fitness social network that has created several other fitness and diet related inventions.

Within minutes of taking a picture of a meal and matching it to a database of some 500,000 food items, the device sends users an alert with a range of calories for the meal that was photographed. The database can quickly help identity the food, how many calories there are, proteins, fat, carbs, vitamins, whatever you may want to know. Users can then choose to share what they’ve eaten in any restaurant or hotel.

In past calorie counting was a very time consuming process, but the device make it easier to track the calories in food. Additionally, MealSnap can serve as a food diary, allowing users to keep a visual log of the meals they have eaten.

1. Green car: Sandia national laboratory is trying to design a car that will run from carbon dioxide and sunrays. These two things will be used as fuel. The car will be multipurpose, because it will absorb carbon dioxide from the air, hence will clean the atmosphere. The system in the green car (cerium oxide system) will convert the carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and also convert the water into Hydrogen.

2. Bullet proof custard: The scientist of London has marketed a new kind of bullet proof jacket which will protect you from the bullets coming from the front. The experts used a secret chemical formula which is prepared by mixing an artificial fiber, so that a super armored protective jacket may be come into being. A sticky and thick pasted layer has been used in the inner side of jacket, so when a bullet hit the outer side of the jacket, the paste become thicker and neutralize the power effects of the bullet. The global defense and security company is designing it for the soldiers who will fight on the front lines. The researchers says that they are trying to use this secret chemical devise in less quantity, so that the jacket may not be heavy and the user feel uneasy to move.

The liquid named ‘Bullet proof custard’ with a reasoning that the molecules used in this paste became more thick and protective when hit by a bullet. The   theory based on this idea that when we warm the custard pudding it became thick. This latest technology may turn into a revolution soon, because the rulers all over the world may not be hit by any manic holding a gun in his hands.

3. Bladeless fan: The manufacturer of this magical fan is an Australian named Sir James diets. His newly invented magical fan is on sale in U.K market. Astonishing, its demand is raising day by day. This blade less fan has a safer side that it may not give harm to the children, whereas it may be clean easily, due to the non-presence of the blades.

During 2008 and 2009 Australia has earned an amount of 9 millions and 19 millions pounds after selling this fan to the fans. Due to the extensive weather of summer demand of this blade less fan is going high in U.K. The business icons estimated that the gross income of this blade less fan may multiple two folds.

This new invented fan runs with a 40 watt supply motor. The holes the lower inlets take in the room air and put it out rapidly from the upper out lets. The upper direction of out lets may be turned in the required angles, so that the other parts of the room may be cooled. The amount of exit air may be controlled by a value. This fan provides more fooling than an ordinary fan. In U.K its price is 190 pounds. The most interesting phenomenon is that the fan is still not marketed in Australia, which is its origin.

4. Eye lie detector: The researchers in Lake salt university invented a lie detector which will catch the lies of a culprit by the movements of his eyes. The movements of eyes will reflect that when and where the culprit is bluffing and telling a lie. It is a fact that eyes didn’t concentrate and focus on a particular point when anybody tells a lie. Hence this eye lie detector will catch these movements and reveal the untruth.
