Waymo's Self Driving Car Lunch!

Image
                  It's the last month of 2018 and self driving cars are still not seen on our roads, well that's not entirely true. Waymo has just launched its self driving car.   We remember Waymo as the part of Google that was working on its self driving car development project and that just recently made into its own separate division on December, two years ago.   Google holds the record of working and developing autonomous vehicles longer than any company, and for a year and half, Waymo has been testing and improving both the vehicle and the algorithm it runs on, and are now aiming towards taking passengers.   They plan to be like the regular " ride sharing " service companies in which you use the app, pick your destination, hail a ride and in a few minutes, one of Waymo's self driving minivans shows up. Waymo calls this service the " Waymo One. "   The vehicle is covered with high powered devices and sensors (e.g. radar, lidar, ultra

Samsung's True Bezel less Phone.

Image
  We've all seen the new trend of bezel less phones, only, with notches that many people hate and are wishing for a completely bezel less phone with no notch. Well, Samsung might have just answered your prayers with their notch less bezel less phone.   Samsung recently did a presentation, and in that presentation, they talked about UPS (Under Panel Sensor). This means that all the sensors that you usually find on the top bezel or notch of your phone, (i.e. camera, light sensor, e.t.c.) will be imbedded in the screen.   They also talked about on display fingerprint sensor. This tech isn't necessarily a new trend, but what's different is that Samsung will be using ultrasonic technology for the fingerprint sensor, which means it will be more secure.   Next, they talked about SOD (Sound on Display).  This means that there won't have to be a cut_out hole for the sound to come out from.    They talked about HOD (Haptic on Display), for gaming.   The rumor

The Tesla's Model Y

Image
Elon Musk's Tesla has produced some amazing cars, especially when you look at the Tesla models  but, he isn't stopping there and has set out for another model, the model Y.    During  the company's earnings call this week, Elon said that he had approved a prototype crossover E.V. to enter full scale production.    It is unlikely that we will see the model Y in 2019 but, this also means that the lunch date won't get past 2020.  Unfortunately, we don't know much about the model Y. Although, we have seen some few teasers and Musk once joked that it might not have a steering wheel but beyond that, we know nothing.   To get more tech news and updates like this one, subscribe to Worldtechnocrat.

Samsung's Next Generation of Phones

Image
  Have you ever wished your smart phone was more powerful and had more battery life? OK, we all know that that answer will be an outstanding "yes!". But for that to be possible, it means that chip makers would have to make smaller and smaller silicon chips that will lead to the next generation of phones and leading the way is Samsung.    Samsung recently made a breakthrough by make 7 nanometer chips using Extreme ultraviolet or EUV. Although this technology has around for some time, it has not been good enough for it to be used because of the small and complex materials and ways that was need for it to be used.   Samsung is the first to breakthrough that barrier that has slowed down its development and usage. To know more on how Samsung does this, check out this video by Engadget that explains how Samsung manages to do this.   Samsung is not the only one tinkering with this technology, Taiwan's TSMC is currently also working on it too.   How long do you thin

3d Body Scanning

Image
  Have u ever wanted to see  a perfectly replicated 3d model of yourself? Well, wait no more because 3d body scanning is here.   This is possible through a set of cameras that capture a 360° view of your body and produces a visual model of yourself for you to see.   This technology can be used in different applications. For example, it can be used scan yourself to produce an exact replica of yourself in virtual reality games. It could also be used for fashion related purposes, for example, Amazon bought a New York based start up called Body Labs that takes a 3d body scan of you and produces an avatar replica of you so that you can virtually try out clothes you want to buy when browsing their fashion section.   In the area of fitness, this technology is being integrated too. A company known as Naked Labs sells 3d body scanners that scan your body, produces a 3d model avatar of your self and reports your metric like body fat and lean muscle mass.   This techno

The Next Generation of Water!

Image
The rate at which clean fresh water is becoming scarce is alarming. Researchers world wide are looking for ways to offset this by looking for alternative renewable sources of clean water. The "Zero Mass" company is looking at a place most of us wouldn't have thought of, the air. They are using hydro panels called "Source" which are basically solar panels, but one that is used to produce water instead of electricity. They do this by basically exposing substances in the panels that are hygroscopic (i. e substances that absorbs water from air when exposed) to the atmosphere. They take water from air, concentrate it in the panels then dispense it. They look like regular panels, but only the middle part contains the standard photovoltaic technology which produces electricity that powers the fans and communications inside the unit. The sides are made of proprietary porous material that generates heat. Another proprietary material inside the pa

Wallpaper TV!

The "wallpaper t.v." is one of L.G's "O Led" signage. As the name implies, it uses " o led display ", which means its display, is of high quality. it is a 65 inch 4k panel, uses an " alpha 9 processor" with "self_illuminating" pixels. It is incredibly thin, thinner than a smart  phone , even thinner than a pen as you can see in the picture below comparing the two.  It's important components are housed in the speaker unit and is connected to the TV by a single flat cable. The installation is relatively easy and it feels like it magnetically attaches its self to the wall so, no need for a TV stand. This TV kinda set a standard now for how TVs of the future should be like and we hope to see new innovations like this!

SUPERCAPACITORS!

Image
Batteries are great, they help us store energy for future use, to power our home appliances and our electric vehicles but, they are getting old. Capacitors seems like the way to go for the future, "SUPERCAPACITORS" to be exact. Batteries store energy in form of chemicals. Essentially, they break down those chemicals to release the energy and then join then back together to recharge their energy, this makes them very slow when being charged. They also have a very short life span since they get degraded by the continues charging and discharging process. Capacitors on the other hand store energy in form of static electricity and are more durable, they pack more power, are charge instantly and are very easy and cheap to make, as simple as bringing two metal plates close to each other putting an insulator in between and connecting them. These are a lot of advantages when compared with batteries but they have one down side, they don't hold much energy. This is
