MIT developed the world s lightest solar cells

  Wei Feng network, February 29, smart phones or other electronics, and even the new VR and wearable devices, technological innovation is undoubtedly very important. This in addition to better performance, there is a very important point is that some advances in hardware. Of course, the battery is one of the key elements.

MIT developed the world's lightest solar cells

  On this point, is particularly important for electronic products. After all, the endurance even has become a major manufacturer of competition one of the, is currently testing Smartphone performance of hard targets. In addition to increasing beyond the capacity of the battery, charging more convenient is a great idea.

  So, a lot of people would think of a technology--solar energy has been around for a long time. Yes, this technology has been used in a lot of areas, but usually need to take up a significant portion of the volume, so it is difficult to be applied to a smart phone. But now, MIT research and development of a new technology or will be able to achieve this in the near future.

  MIT research team, said: this is by far the lightest, thinnest solar cells. What light to what extent? It can even be placed on a soap bubble! SOAP bubbles and not be crushed. Built the battery one of the key is to find a step to build supporting solar panel substrates, as well as battery shield shield. In this process, must step in a vacuum environment in place.

  Solar panels are also flawed, is that it is less efficient. But for now, it's light weight and small volume is also to some extent compensate for this shortcoming, and researchers will continue to improve it in the future.

On Mars musk wants to print the life

On Mars, musk wants to

Lei feng's network multiple times reported ailong·masike, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, but wants to change the world and want to do something in the outside world, such as terraforming Mars. Starbucks iPhone 6 Plus Case

However, he knows that this life is not to turn Mars into a habitable planet that day, but hand SpaceX and Tesla's genius, still doesn't have a clear plan, and that is how to seed life on Mars. He wanted and the legendary geneticist Craig Venter to work on the red planet of Mars "printing" of life.

"Print" life is not easy, but now according to skills, this is not a new idea, and unfulfilled dreams. United States NASA's best scientists believe human colonies to other planets, we need to put human genes into bacteria, these bacteria will launch into space, when they finally landing on other planets, then to restructure their genome data.

This is a musk has been supporting school, worthy of our attention, in today's era of musk is the only one most likely to let people colonized other planets.

Musk is not simply "printing" of human individuals, on the contrary, he wants to print the bacteria and other organisms to help us use of "digital biological transformation" of Mars to Earth. The converter was developed by Venter, its original DNA code can be embedded in a "universal receptor cell", thus creating life.

Venter on musk, biographer of Ashlee Vance said, "I think bio-technology is the key to truly make our colonial Mars, Andy Herron and I have been discussing how to implement this technology. "

Venter fame because of the human genome project, as the name suggests, this plan to sort the entire human genome for the first time. Venter was also the first to create "synthetic life" person, he removes a bacterial gene encoding, replacing it with a synthetic gene.

Venter's genes with the printer in musk's plan is more played in a supporting role, that humans have the ability to create a new life that can survive in any environment. Vance pointed out that on Mars DNA printers can make "early settler of Mars to produce drugs, food, and some bacteria. "

This is a very important point, because Mr MASKEY told Vance that he considered creating a self-sufficient colony on Mars is possible, but live outside the closed housing problem is that he has not solved. On Mars, if we want to survive and are no longer dependent on life-support systems or in the closed structure, we need to transform the Martian environment.

"Ultimately, if you want to Mars become Earthlike planet, you need to make it heat up, for which I have no plans", Thomas said, "in my lifetime there is no opportunity to become Earth-Mars, perhaps not without opportunities, 0.0001% of opportunity, but you must use only the most extreme methods. "

More or less, Venter digital creature converter is only a prototype, but it has been the United States Defense Advanced research projects agency support. Now it can only print DNA, Venter hopes one day it can "print" out of living cells. Venter said the printer "ink" is a common receptor cells, it can hold any type of DNA binding and create life.

The Guardian reported that "Venter intends to improve the digital converter to produce a living cell, relied on his 2010 synthetic cell breakthrough technologies, make the process more automated. Work is in full swing, focus ' universal receptor cell ' research and development, which can accommodate any synthetic genes and life bio blank media. "

Starbucks iPhone 6 Plus Case

Venter is doing other work, let the United States National Aeronautics and space agency and the other on Mars, scientists were able to discover the genetic sequence of an object back to the Earth, and research lab-made.

"Alien species will be returned to Earth for recycling, it sounds like science fiction, but is realistic to a certain extent. "

Then do it the other way round is also workable, musk Mars colony staff made some extreme environments on Earth organisms, if they can survive on Mars, then in theory can change at a very slow speed environment of Mars, making it more suitable for human living. Starbucks iPhone 6 Plus Case

Musk is expected to make the Earth-Mars takes one to ten centuries of time. Meanwhile, early Mars settlers need living in controlled closed environment.

In his view, "establishing a self-sufficient colony on Mars is highly likely, will also have a lot of people who are interested in selling off property to leave the Earth. To Mars to find a job, work to build it. If the transport is no longer an issue between the two planets, then build a sealed transparent housing becomes less difficult. But if you can't at first arrived, are no problem. "

Besides Lei Feng network reported Hyperloop project, musk has been working to solve the transportation problems of the planet, if he had succeeded, perhaps Venter can help him complete the remaining steps of this grand plan.

Baidu driverless cars this year has come and how

Baidu driverless cars, this year has come and how?

At present, the automotive industry moving forward there are two main directions, a new energy vehicles, such as hybrids, electric vehicles and the other manifestations of broader, that is, smart cars, including telematics and smart in-car entertainment, popular drone also belong to this category in the near future.

Paul Frank iPad Air Case

This zhiqian, we for no driving of awareness and understand, most are and "five years complex five years" of Google no driving car project about, although last year July, domestic Internet giant Baidu also announced has started no driving car of development plans, but seems to until Qian two days, Li in 2015 IT leader Summit Shang said Baidu no driving car will Yu years launched of message, this a things only slightly has has some hope.

But even so, the industry concern about Baidu driverless cars, also is not as good as the music, Ali the same build Internet companies so much, the main reason is that no one here in any case driving the short term and could not become a reality, it is whoever it is is no exception.

The technical level, the unmanned fire short

On currently for, the home of no driving car development most also just stay in auxiliary driving system of stage, and real of no driving is also no consistent of solution programme, now industry of common direction has two species, a is relies on car networking, through car and car Zhijian of networking and the data interactive to solution no driving of problem, another a is relies on advanced of sensor, to let car achieved real-time judge State then to out decision, also has including artificial intelligence, and high precision map, Or rely on elements such as base stations to provide appropriate signals and how, et cetera.

And this inside of technology problem can on more has, like car networking, its for network delay sex of requirements is high, currently seems only 5 g to meet its needs, but 5G official commercial of time also have has several years; and sensor aspects, although technology Shang nothing problem, but cost too high, Google no driving car Shang by used all sensor added in with cost on up to 200,000 dollars, this also not including other, more alone its used of including car top 64 line laser radar such of top technology, itself also very vulnerable, Even top was bad, in this way, while Google's self-driving cars are on their way, but it's just a temporary programmes extremely accommodating.

Also, artificial intelligence this a on more is road resistance and long has, after all to let machine for world has cognitive capacity, also to in very short of time within should different of situation to out corresponding of reaction, this is a vast of engineering, and car relies on camera collected and image processing technology to to out programme of way, in complex changeable of environment Xia was on not mark, this also alone for different of traffic situation also has different of situation and requirements--unless is everyone has has a unified of agreement, then based on this established out a data model, To cut in, otherwise, the mere addition to give the machine a complete logical enough abstract artificial intelligence is enough to make unmanned dream was again delayed.

It is worth mentioning here is that Baidu to do is not all-weather roads and Google's self-driving, but still need to cooperate with unmanned, at least it is necessary to make decisions and develop before it can be translated into instruction. In essence, also belong to the auxiliary drive. At present, a variety of automobile, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and already has a driver assistance functions, even individual manufacturers can already make cars in a simple automatic driving conditions, this drone industry, while still some distance, but it has to be the best result.

Humanities, unmanned has just started

As with many future technologies, people always want, wait and see. Drone is not exception.

Even current Google driverless cars commercial use, but able to deal or no deal is likely or not to buy, as security remains to be seen, after all, can you promise not to bump into other people, but there is no guarantee that others will not hit you, or if there was somewhere on the streets of China touch porcelain man or woman cross the road? Also, compare Smartphone explosion may occur, car safety has much to, accidentally in a passing crash, this not a brush machine and installed the patch will solve, in short, would first eat crabs do not no, but certainly limited, at least you can't expect him to promote development of the industry. Paul Frank iPad Air Case

The best way, which is now being done, implementation scenarios, unmanned, automatic parking, such as cruise control, supplemented by the driver control, gradually extended to more scenarios and environments, and finally completely unmanned – on a human level, unmanned is not an overnight thing.

Also, also has is need consider of is legislation problem, has always yilai, high-speed development of technology and slow of legal construction are is a to harmonic of contradictions, and currently also no any a national allows no driving car in public road road driving, although United States in last year on launched has new of car grading manual, which 4 level on set to has full automation driving of car, but it only has reference meaning, and cannot as Regulations Ordinance. And before the law is not perfect, drone can only stay in the wrong drivers accountable for driver assistance phase, not really integrated into the transport system.

Internet car, Rob was auto parts manufacturer cake

Back to Baidu, Baidu in the related statement, the most noteworthy of its own does not manufacture cars, but combined with third party Depot, although don't know exactly what, but it seems that Baidu Google and does not intend to go the same way.

Baidu should or should not make cars? Reasonable, it should not, but a lot of people who have this view but there is a common misconception--that these Internet companies Baidu to compete the entire auto industry, but in fact, only automotive electronic parts makers to compete with them. Paul Frank iPad Air Case

Usually we said car technology more fine pointed complex, can actually most and whole Depot is has nothing to do of, especially in car electronic aspects, spare parts suppliers by master of technology and importance to far is greater than whole Depot, after all which is to out technology solution programme of specific enterprise, and car electronic industry of two big giant Bosch and city is early began has no driving aspects of research, so, regardless of is do car of Google, also is not do car of Google, After they get into the auto industry's main rival, was not the entire Depot, but spare parts supplier.

Certainly has, Internet company for car industry of invasion, in is big degree Shang on which is a good, because most can let a industry development of factors, actually are is foreign things, Internet elements of joined, also let car this more than 100 years of history has opportunities glow new of vitality, and believes with auxiliary driving of in-depth, and car networking of development, and artificial intelligence, technology of breakthrough, no driving car will to car industry and once evolution of unification identity, in soon Hou real came to we of side.

Create a perfect watch This is not a simple

  New era of wearable devices, has become a smart watch begins a sign at each other's throats. Early on the Kickstarter Pebble smart watch for vendors to see the unlimited potential of this type of equipment. Designers want their works to be able to meet the needs of consumers, but for now, not a smart watches to be able to describe it in perfect.

  Smart Watches products are usually positioned in the market for smart-phone number companion or an accessory for consumers, product design, user interface, smart watches battery life, applications, features, and pricing are all factors to be considered. So, what kind of watch is the perfect?

Create a perfect watch? This is not a simple

  Design

  In essence, no matter how much smart watch features rich, it should look like a watch. We do not need to be heavy, cheap plastic materials take up the wrist, blessed is that most smart watches are also good, to meet the different tastes of users. Kenzo iPhone cover

Create a perfect watch? This is not a simple

  For example, Motorola launched Moto 360 is by far the most stylish, most like a traditional watch watch product, its luxurious styling and comfort of wear, we feel, today's smart watches should be like this. Moto 360 battery not being very good, but Motorola makes up for this weakness in industrial design.

  Function

Kenzo case

Create a perfect watch? This is not a simple

  Speaking of smart watch function, we first thought is the fitness function. Apple's first smart watch product Apple Watch fitness trail as the biggest selling point, other than GPS tracking location, this product is basically covering every corner of the fitness function. Other than Apple Watch, Android fitness Wear and Pebble also supports third party applications like Fitbit, Jawbone and Nike Fuel and so on. Kenzo case

  At present, the fitness is still a market that has not been completely developed. For years, Nike and professional sports brands such as adidas, have launched fitness digital products have failed to achieve significant results. Manufacturers hope in this area to create a unique selling point of the smart watch products, which consumers are willing to see.

  Not only that, the message push smart watch is an important feature that can seamlessly connect the smart watch and phone, but to the user, if it isn't useful or interesting messages can be filtered out, it would have been better. In addition, through Bluetooth headset music playback to avoid cable problems, but creates concerns about battery life.

  Durability

Create a perfect watch? This is not a simple

  At present, the smart watch product is expensive electronic equipment, so we hope it can be more durable than smart phones and tablet computers, enabling free replacement of defective screens or strap, it would have been more perfect. In addition, part of the watch also features a waterproof and dustproof features, such as Pebble SmartWatch 3 Time and Sony products.

On the whole, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 material just as Apple launched iPhone 4 o'clock it was amazing. Volume-high location and handset design and overall did not match, is the place where I feel will improve on the design. Functions, fingerprints and photographs are very powerful, I heard more than one peer praise these two features "as well as iPhone" or even "better than iPhone". Systems experience, Samsung and all other international companies choose to be consistent--move closer to the native Android system, compared to before the Samsung fully customized systems, more modern, more fresh, naturally, was easier to use.

1 5 million of the flying submarine local new toys

$ 1.5 million of the flying submarine, local new toys

Imagine being aboard a 1.5 million dollar private tour in a submarine under water, transparent cockpit and four-shaft helicopter propeller, and marine life in close proximity, is a kind of experience? Recently, rumors for a long time the flying submarine Deepflight Dragon officially entered the test phase under water, while the submarine under the water stable software system is still not perfect, even in the case of carrying capacity is quite limited, have risked their lives to follow foreign media engineer, experience the local new toys.

$ 1.5 million of the flying submarine, local new toys

Deepflight Dragon is a four-axle advance two-seat flying submarine, shaped like an airplane, each seat is equipped with exclusive bubbles glass cockpit, bring unparalleled immersion experience for all passengers.

The submarine length 5.1 m wing width of 2.7 m, maximum depth of 490 meters. It is called a flying submarine, because unlike conventional submarines, Deepflight Dragon through four propulsion shaft to achieve movement or underwater flight. However, the "slow" is the greatest feeling after foreign media testing, submarine speed was only 4-5 in the vacuum section (section equal to 1.852 kilometres). Although speed is average, but considering the tourist property of the submarine, rather than looking for the fast and the furious, is within an acceptable range, luxury cruise, after all, also about the speed. Paul Frank

$ 1.5 million of the flying submarine, local new toys

Benefit from the advantages of electric drive, Deepflight Dragon in the underwater noise generated is very small, can basically be background noise was covered by the sea, so it would not cause damage to the marine environment, will not drive away sea life, driver and a real marine has a close contact.

Safe water activities had to be the priority issues to be considered, if fault results in the submarine's engine shut down, Deepflight Dragon can automatically floats to the surface. In addition, the underwater tests also include matching motion cameras GO Pro video shooting, submarine radio calls and other functions.

$ 1.5 million of the flying submarine, local new toys

It is learnt that the flying submarine was first for the oil and gas company to build, but also for military purposes, recently involved in civilian areas. Not surprisingly, Deepflight Dragon prices, not cheap, mass production after the price is expected to be as much as $ 1.5 million, destined to a few local toys, after all, we are used to. Paul Frank case

Rumors, famous adventurer, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson will be the first private buyers.
