Eel-like robot to assist divers

Due to superior flexibility of Anguilliform fishes, scientists in Singapore developed a prototype of an eel-like robotic fish to allow marine forces to reach such areas which are much difficult or impossible for the divers to reach.

The Anguilliform robotic fish is small, sophisticated and elegant enough to operate autonomously underwater.


"We performed simulations and experiments on the robotic fish, equipped with a motion library to cope with different scenarios, and the results validate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers as it was able to swim forward and backward as predicted," said Jianxin Xu from the National University of Singapore and co-author of the project.

Charge your smartphone in 30 seconds

Science has really changed our way of life, the way for living. We know that we need to every day charge our phone uncommonly smartphone which is a problem.This new battery can take care of this issue which can completely charge your cell phone within 30 second developed by Storedot.

In StoreDot's experiment, the battery completely charged a dead Samsung S4 inside 26 seconds. "To charge that in 26 seconds would require 100mAh [milliampere-hour] of charge to be delivered every second,” says Steve McCaskill at TechWeek Europe.In addition to this he said that this technology will also be available to charge the car batteries and other devices in seconds.

Augmented reality Dashboard

GPS and other in-car displays are great for getting us from one point to another, and some high-end vehicles even have displays on the windshield, but in the near future cars will be able to identify external objects in front of the driver and display information about them on the windshield.

A robot looks at a person and automatically brings up information about them and can identify who or what they are. Augmented Reality dashboards, will function in a similar way for drivers. BMW has already implemented a windshield display in some of their vehicles which displays basic information, but they're also developing augmented reality dashboards that will be able to identify objects in front a vehicle and tell the driver how far they are away from the object. The AR display will overlay information on top of what a driver is seeing in real life.

App to analyze your speech and mental health

Researchers from the University of Maryland in US showed that for a person, as his feeling of depression grow worse, his certain vocal features also changes accordingly.

Hackathon fights Ebola outbreak

Ebola- the fatal disease that has took the lives of million of people and is out breaking speedily. To fight with such a deadly virus, besides health workers and fast track vaccines, software developers are also contributing their work in such a war.
To help West African communities, who are getting ruined by such disease, Ebola Crisis Hackathon is developed with the help of various students and physicians at the University of Oxford earlier this month.

Describing the infrastructure of the system, Paul Brodersen, a researcher, describes one of the tool which automatically detects affected people appearing in a video and measures their pule using image analysis. To achieve this goal, a technique named Eulerian Video Magnification is used. It works even with a simple webcam. It works by amplifying the red tones in a person's face. The insidious variation in redness over time gives the pulsing of blood.

Electricity from football- 'Soccket'

From last couple of decades, Electricity has became a part of our life. It is being used extensively in everyday life. But unfortunately about one third of world's population is living without electricity and one of the major cause of this is poverty. 

Jessica O. Matthews and Julia Silverman, in 2008, founded a company names Uncharted Play. The two were part of an engineering class for non-engineers. They were given an assignment to come up with an idea so as to tackle some of the global problem.  Matthews, whose family is Nigeria, knew about power problems where less than 25% of population has access to reliable electricity. Keeping these in their minds, they both came up with the idea of 'Soccket'.

The Soccket may look like a soccer ball, but it's an energy source as well. Its use is very simple like that of a soccer ball. When kicking the Soccket, the internal mechanism converts the kinetic energy into electricity. So by kicking it for around half an hour, we get enough energy to charge a basic cell phone.  Thus a full charge, 72 hours, can be had for 16 hours of play.
The basic idea for developing such a source of electricity is not only restricted to provide an electric supply to those people who don't have electric supply but also to save the environment from toxic material that came out by burning or fuels to meet the need.
The current version of Soccket is flammable because an inflammable version didn't worked. The Soccket is two ounces heavier than a standard soccer ball. The Charted Play is still working on it to make it bouncy. 

The company has tested the balls in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil and parts of Africa and conducted a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year.  It’s now taking online orders through its website.

Matthews has said there are hopes of expanding to other sports, such as basketball. People across the globe may soon find themselves powering their homes by doing something as delightful and simple as playing a game.

Light without electricity? The GravityLight

It seems to be luxury by turning on the lights with a wink of switch. But for the third of world's population that lives without electricity, something as simple for getting light can be a costly challenge.

To relieve people from such challenge, here comes GravityLight- a simple device that generates light without availability of electricity.

The device doesn't require any battery, fuel or mechanical effort to generate light. Instead, you hang the device on a wall and attach a heavy material, such as rock or dirt. Then you simple lift the bag and let it go.

Charging with your footsteps? Now possible

Each clonk of a hiker's releases enough energy to illuminate a light bulb. In order to make use of this power, Matt Stanton, who is an engineer and a wishful hiker, created a shoe so as to make store that energy. The insole stores the energy as electricity. Electronic devices are charged with the help of USB cable. The device assures to be much more effective then the traditional and powerful power packs as well as solar chargers, which works slowly as well as their performance depends upon the weather.

Gorilla Glass 4

The new "Gorilla Glass 4" ,will be two times harder than any mobile cover glass which is now available in the market. It will really help those people who accidentally and circumstantially drop their phones, which results screen smashing.

 The Dropping and breaking phone is a common and serious  problem.To solve this ambiguity scientists make many experiments.Corning says that scientists break more than hundred devices during the development of Gorilla Glass 4. What they found that smartphones will never break most when their screens make contact with hard and rough surfaces .That sound unspeakable. I mean you guys will definitely wont believe this but it is true.Some how using this technique they end up with this product.

We expected to have this feature in all coming smart phones and tablets including the Iphone series.

Smart Trash Can

Minoru Kurata, a Japanese engineer has created a trash can that moves on its own to catch your trash.

A computer then calculates the thrown trash's trajectory and moves the trash can so the item will land inside the can. This invention won an Excellence Award at the Japan Media Arts Festival.

Robots- Controlling e-waste

Every year, a massive amount of electronic-waste (e-waste) is thrown out in Australia and the amount increases day by day. To tackle this problem, researchers from University of  New South Wales (UNSW) have programmed industrial robots to get this job done.

It is a collective project by researchers at School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering's Sustainable Manufacturing and Life Cycle Engineering Research Group (SMLCE) and the school of Computer Science and Engineering.

Researchers showed that robots can memorize the assembling and disassembling of electric product so that they can use this technique for the recycling of such products at increasing speed.

SMLCE founder and project Professor Sami Kara said that there are tons of end-of-life products that we don't know how to disassemble, despite legislation tells us to do so. "The biggest problem is uncertainty - the number of different products coming into electronic recycling centers and their condition", he said.

Wine selection App

Wine selection at a wine store is quite intimidating task that ends up with a couple of decisions, i.e red or white and your price range.

A new app, named 'Next Glass' is in the market that aims to make your selection much easier and a whole lot more scientific.

Working:

             After downloading the app, it ask you to rate some of your favorite wines. Then at wine store, when you scan a wine bottle, this app instantaneously calculates and display the rating of that wine out of 100. The higher the score, the more likely you'll enjoy that wine.

And if you don't like wine but beer, don't worry at all, Next Glass also rates beer too.

So far, Next Glass tests about 200 bottles each day, and thus analyzing a total of 15,000 bottles of wine and about 8,000 bottles of bear. This app bought some heavy duty chemistry equipment for the analysis of various wines and beers.
