Scientists create a microscopic motor

process of making microscopic motor                    

Have you ever heard of microscopic motor? If not, then now you can use microscopic motor to run vehicles.Scientists at Tufts have developed the world's smallest electric motor made from a single molecule, a development that may potentially create a new class of devices with applications ranging from medicine to engineering.

Verbatim Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard: $79.99 on Amazon.com
They say that when you point a finger outward, there are four pointing back at yourself. Maybe the real point is that when slothing through an on-screen keyboard, you inevitably wind up neglecting 80 percent of your typing digits. LOGITECH andAPPLE respectively offer green and non-green wireless keyboards that are fine for desktops. This is rechargeable, water-resistant and literally the most flexible Bluetooth keyboard out there. And there are others built into tablet stands and covers. But the Verbatim Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard is the best balance of compactness, solid typing and extra features.


To initiate pairing with your phone or tablet, you depress a tiny "reset-like" button. Once paired, you need only turn on the keyboard, which uses two AAA batteries (included). Honeycomb tablet (Android 3.0) and iPhone/iPad (iOS 4.0 and up) users will enjoy dedicated function, shortcut and 'hot' keys that wake your device; edit text; or instantly launch into your music, browser, email or home screen. Counterintuitively, it has an on-screen keyboard launch button. Not sure why you'd need that, when the keyboard has a good typing feel on either lap or desk. The smaller Shift and Backspace on the right side take a little getting used to. And you may not touch type along the bottom character row. But it does come with two last niceties: A cute little phone stand (don't even bother trying it with a tablet) that slides out of the right half of the keyboard and a handsome, magnetically closing leather carrying case.

Tiles to use solar energy!!!

Meidad Marzan, an industrial designer from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel, has developed a design for exterior building panels that absorb solar energy during the day to provide light for the building at night. Functional and practical -- yes -- but Marzan's so-called UrbanTiles have a little more dazzle than your average solar panel.



Constructed from aluminum and stainless steel, on one side the Urbantile would have a photovoltaic panel. The other side would contain an organic light emitting diodes (OLED) screen. During the day, the panels could be adjusted via electric motors to face the sun and maximize their absorbed solar energy. The long rows of banded panels could also be swiveled to act as window blinds.
At night, the UrbanTiles could be flipped so the OLED screens would face indoors to provide light for interior rooms and a wall of screens for media playback. Think pulling back the drapes and watching your favorite movie on your window. The OLED screens could also be rotated outward to provide light designs or messages on the sides of the building.

“The city and its buildings are epic light objects that emit light energy as far as the outer space," Marzan explains. "That, while in daytime the city absorbs great sun energy not being used at all. The cycle of light and lighting in the urban space made a design intervention, that along with other urban values, stood [as] the basis of this project."

Paper Thin Solar Cells!

You might have seen solar cells. But did u see it as thin as a paper?!!!!! YUP guys, now it has been invented. You might own a printer that could put this blog on a piece of paper, but you probably don't own a printer that can print out solar cells to generate solar power from the sun but researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology do, and early results indicate you may soon start seeing these paper thin solar cells on everything from window blinds to your laptop.

At a news conference this week, MIT researchers showed off the prototypes of their paper thin solar cells by using them to power a small LED display.
