Google Indic Music Search Engine

2010-10-24T00:08:00.000-07:00

utmp — Page request of the current page. ex:utmp=/testDirectory/myPage.html

utmcc — Cookie values. This request parameter sends all the cookies requested from the page. ex:utmcc=__utma%3D117243.1695285.22%3B%2B __utmz%3D117945243.1202416366.21.10. utmcsr%3Db%7C utmccn%3D(referral)%7C utmcmd%3Dreferral%7C utmcct%3D%252Fissue%3B%2B

what is Nanotechnology ?

2009-02-28T07:49:00.000-08:00

Nanotechnology describes science of smallest tiny particles which merge together and provides a huge energy power. One nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter or about one eighty thousandth the width of a human hair. Nanomaterials can be stronger or lighter, or conduct heat or electricity in a different way. They can even change color; particles of gold can appear red, blue or gold, depending on their size. The Main Use of this technology is molecular electronics, data storage, catalysis and biotechnology. The main Sectors where these technologies were used are medical and fabricating.

Because of the opportunities nanotechnology offers in creating new features and functions, it is already providing the solutions to many long-standing medical, social and environmental problems. The word “nanotechnology” has become very popular and is used to describe many types of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers. In its original sense, ‘nanotechnology’ refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.

If we go through in details there were main Four generation of Nano Technologies ,The First one is Passive Nanostructure(In the year 2000).Second One is Active nanostructure (In the year 2005).Third one is System Of nanostructure(In the year 2010) and last Fourth one is Molecular Nano system(In the year 2015).

Now, onions to power your iPods!

2008-11-25T09:30:00.000-08:00

A man found a unique way of saving electricity when charging his iPod - by using an onion soaked in energy drink.

Owen Louis, 21, who happens to be a music fan, was worried about the amount of electricity his MP3 player was using, and decided to use the vegetables to power up his device.

Louis’ technique involved boring two holes in an onion, soaking it in an energy drink then sticking a USB cable into it, and device enables him to charge his iPod for an hour.

“I was watching TV with my laptop on and my iPod playing and thought, ‘How much electricity must I be using?’” Metro.co.uk quoted him as saying.

“A friend showed me the experiment as a laugh but I thought it was the greatest thing I have ever seen, and do it religiously every day,” he said.

Louis, from Portsmouth, said that the idea was a foolproof way of staying green as the onion decomposes and the drink bottle can be recycled once finished with.

Phil Stubbles, a physics lecturer from St Vincent College in Gosport, Hampshire, said that almost all vegetables could power iPods because they contain ions, which react with energy drinks to create a charge.

“The only problem is you have no control over how long it may work for ... and it can be smelly,” he added.

Now, a gadget that makes water 'out of thin air'

2008-11-24T07:59:00.000-08:00

London (PTI): It's a gadget straight out of a science fiction movie -- a machine that scientists claim can make water out of thin air. An international team at Canadian firm Element Four has developed the gadget, called Water Mill, which its hopes could actually become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

According to the scientists, using the same technology as a de-humidifier, the gadget could create a ready supply of drinking water by capturing it from an unlimited source -- the air, the 'Daily Mail' reported. The Water Mill works by drawing in moist air through a filter and over a cooling element that condenses it in water droplets -- it can produce up to 12 litres a day and generate more water when storms pass over, as the humidity in the air increases.

According to the scientists, the machine not only offers an alternative to bottled water in developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage. And, in keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three light bulbs. "The demand for water is off the chart. People are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable," Jonathan Ritchey, who led the team, was quoted by the British newspaper as saying.

The Water Mill, which is about 3ft wide, is likely to cost 800 pounds and a litre of water will cost around 20 pence to produce.

Nokia Nano - The Future Technology

2008-09-22T00:25:00.000-07:00

Nanotechnology is the future technology for us. As the name suggests it is an applied science field to see matter as a combination of atom and molecule and so the tests go for this principle. In lehman language, nanotechnology means developing materials or devices within 100 nanometers or smaller.

Nokia Nanotechnology:

Nokia pinned this field. At the Museum of Modern Art in New-York, Nokia and Cambridge University started the Morph Concept. Basically the idea behind that is to provide elasticity and flexibility of Nokia Gadgets. "It is low cost manufacturing and adjustable empowering device, which brings versatility" as the developers quote. The following points are eye catching for this Morph Technology.

Size/Design no Bar : Flexibility is applicable to integrated circuits and sensors. From the ecological point of view they are friendly because biodegradable materials are used for production and recycling.

Self cleaner : Self cleaning surface and the main thing is "Nanoflower" which automatically repels water and vanish fingerprints on the surface.

Researches are going on and due to unavailability of all materials for this technology. We have to wait till 2015 or a decade.
