Touch Screen Track Pad!

Image
The new Asus "ZenBook Pro 15" laptop has a touch screen embedded in its track pad. Although having some issues, the track pad its self is actually better than you think and pretty makes up for its downsides. Check out this video on the analysis of new laptop from "verge"  to find out more!

Robot A.I.

How far have we gone with A.I development, check this video to find out!

Home of The Future!

Image
When we watch sci_fi movies (e.g; The Jetsons), many of us wish that the fiction become reality. However, with the steady advancement in science and technology, the future is getting closer and closer to becoming reality, and that also includes our homes. One aspect in which this has become true is in the building process. "Pre fabricated houses" are buildings built in factory along an assembly line just like cars. This method cuts the time of building from months to mere days! Another area is "energy consumption". Homes of the future will most likely be able to produce their own power from renewable energy sources, this means that they will be able to survive " black outs". Energy consumption in the home can be monitored and adjusted. The homes of the future will also be smart. Having smart lights and refrigerators and they all will be connected, so no need for a million remotes or apps and maybe, we might even have A.I. ass...

Light Molecules.

Image
We all know that light is a massless wave_particle that doesn't interact much with its surrounding, not until recently. Scientists fired a laser through ultracold "rubidium" atoms and the photons came out the other side in pairs and triples. The strength of the photonic bonds were measured based on its oscillation frequency. But this news is a not so new news! In 2013, scientists fired blue laser at ultracold rubidium gas cloud and formed photonic molecules in pairs. The only difference is that now, the molecules were formed in trios! Scientists even believe that the bond of the trios are stronger than that of the pairs. To explain how this works, scientists believe that as photons travel through the rubidium cloud, they are captured temporarily by the rubidium atoms, forming an atom_photon hybrid called the "Rydberg polariton". The photon then travels through the cloud repeating the process and if two or more of this atom_photon hybrid c...

Soft Robots!

Image
How do you think robots of the future will look like? It seems that they are becoming soft by the passing of time, literally! For example, this robot fish made by M.I.T that swims along side marine life. How do they work? Their main characteristics if these bots is that they are soft, made out of rubber, polymers and even fabric other than the traditional plastic, steel and aluminum. The moving parts like the "actuators" that usually use electric motors are replaced with hydraulics or pneumatics which pump compressed fluid through them making them move in a predictable manner. Others use shape memory alloys that coils and crawls when heat is applied to them, like this octopus robot from "Bio Robotics". Some  have plans to even replace the actuators with actual " living muscles ". One of the reasons these new breed of robots are promising is because of their ability to adapt, which gives them a wide range of applications. They also help in...

Foldable phones are coming back!

Image
Samsung is planning on producing foldable phones again!  They call it the Samsung Galaxy "X" or Galaxy "Winner" and the design just like a wallet!  Although, the release date is not yet confirmed, rumors have it that it will be made public in the year 2019. Some speculations about the phone are: *A 7 inch display, which means its a pretty big phone. *unbreakable flexible screen. Since it is designed like a wallet, it make sense. *It will sure be expensive, around the price of $15. So there you have it! Foldable phones are on their way back from the "90's".
