Samsung new

Tired of ground shaking, mind blowing announcements of the new Zune HD and iPod Touch with camera? Well, there you are then – a piece of triumph of common sense and substance over almost anything else a mobile phone is able to house and feature in its body. This is Samsung E2120 and isn't it simple as black and white?! Don't get me wrong though, here we like such things. Think of it: Nokia is the biggest smartphone seller at the moment, but the amount of profit they raise on it is nothing compared to what they get from day-to-day plain and simple talk-phones. Samsung E2120 is not available at the moment. Yet, it would not make any sense if it were a prank, so we expect it to emerge in Europe and Asia soon. Model for Asian market will have an additional "C" at the end of model name (E2120C), but as far as we can tell, it will have same features. The specs are: dual-band connectivity, 1.52 inch 128 x 128 display with 65K colors, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, MP3 player and a VGA camera. Standard 9MB of memory are expandable with MicroSD cards. Price is not yet listed but if you will need one, just save you change for a week or two.

World’s First Flying Car

The first flying automobile, equally at home in the sky and on the road, is scheduled to take to the air next month (February). If the automobile, which can transform itself from a two-seater road car to a plane in 15 seconds, survives its first test flight next month, it is expected to land in showrooms in about 18 months.

The Terrafugia Transition, developed by former NASA engineers, is powered by the same 100 Brake Horse power engine on the ground and in the air. Its manufacturer, Carl Dietrich, who runs the Massachusetts-based Terrafugia, said the flying automobile uses normal unleaded fuel and fits into a garage. Dietrich said the Terrafugia will be able to fly up to 800km on a single tank of petrol at a cruising speed of 185km per hour. Dietrich said he had already received 40 orders despite an expected retail price of $200,000.

Valves Implanted In Beating Heart

An approach for implanting the new aortic heart valve without opening the heart is offered to patients at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Known as the PARTNER (Placement of Aortic trans catheter valves) trial, this Phase 3 multi-centre study is being led by national co-principal investigators Martin Leon and Craig Smith and is focused on the treatment of patients who are at high risk or not suitable for open heart valve replacement surgery. The Tran catheter valve procedures take about 90 minutes, compared with four to six hours for open-heart surgery. In open-heart surgery, the surgeon cuts through the breastbone, stops the heart, removes the valve and replaces it.

Open-heart surgery can require a two-to three month recovery period, compared to only a few days for the Trans catheter approach. It is then positioned inside the patient’s existing valve, using a balloon to deploy the frame, which holds the artificial valve in place. This breakthrough technology could save the lives of thousands of patients with heart valve disease who have no other therapeutic options.

Future For Graphene

A remarkable material called Graphene could soon be used to make flexible and transparent high-speed electronics. Graphene's incredible mechanical and electronic properties are well known, but it is difficult to make it in bulk. It consists of thick layers of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons. The transparent samples can be fixed to any surface and bent or twisted without damaging them. When the technique is perfected, such films could be used in solar cells as well as any number of bendy, thin, transparent gadgetry, such as crystal-clear, flexible displays.

First discovered in 2004, Graphene is a close cousin of carbon nanotubes, which are in effect Graphene, rolled up. Tiny, high-quality samples of Graphene can be sourced by using sticky tape to simply pull them off graphite - the same stuff that is in a pencil lead. Transistors made from such samples have been shown to operate at gigahertz frequencies - comparable to the speed of modern computers. The material could theoretically operate near terahertz frequencies, hundreds of times faster. The samples also have remarkable mechanical strength, because the bond that carbon atoms form between themselves is one of the strongest known.

New World

Scientists have quashed suggestions that a £350m experiment planned for the autumn could cause the destruction of the Earth. There is no chance of the atom-smashing experiment causing a disaster, such as a black hole would devour the entire Earth. Researchers have spent eight years constructing the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island in New York State. Its goal is to smash the nuclei of atoms together and study their wreckage to determine the fundamental properties of matter.

RHIC takes atoms of gold and swings them around two 3.8 kilometer (2.4 miles) circular tubes where powerful magnets accelerate them to almost the speed of light. When they collide, they do so in minute. Heat caused by the Collisions could be 10,000 times hotter than the Sun. Scientists hope to create quark-gluon plasma, a fundamental state of matter that probably has not existed naturally in the Universe since the Big Bang.

The Discovered World!

Australian researchers have developed a device that allows household fridges to run on solar or wind power. The fridges are capable to switch themselves on and off regularly as they keep their temperature between 2°C and 4°C. A small box developed by the team led by engineer Sam West in Newcastle connects all the fridges in an area electronically. The fridges can talk to each other and decide when is the best time to turn on the compressor and cool them down. When there is plenty of solar power available, the fridges switch themselves on.

The developments that we have been seeing over the past two decades have been tremendous. Inventions have been flying car, AI robots, solar power bikes and now solar power fridges. These many development have been made but still the cost living is increasing. There are a number of developments lying underground which could actually reduce the cost of living and those are the one which should be brought out by the governments and people from the villages should be made aware of the need of education and developments in the country. This will make the world a better place to live in beyond the discoveries.
