Nokia and Cambridge Design Nanotech Mobile

2011-10-21T14:08:00.000-07:00

Nokia may not be too funky with their mobile phone designs for mass production but you have to admit, their concept designs are something that look, quite literally, out of this world. Morph, a joint Nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK) – was launched today alongside the “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibition, at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Morph features in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA’s official website.

Morph is a concept that demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Dr. Bob Iannucci, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia, commented: “Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible”.
Dr. Tapani Ryhanen, Head of the NRC Cambridge UK laboratory, Nokia, commented: “We hope that this combination of art and science will showcase the potential of nanoscience to a wider audience.”

Top 5 People with Unbelievable Talents

5. Miroslaw Magola: Moves objects with his Mind

“Remember, there is no spoon”. Just like that kid from “The Matrix” movie, Miroslaw Magola –The “Magnetic Man”– defies laws of gravity with an extraordinary ability — applying the power of psycho kinesis he can raise anything from metal pans to marble statues, transport them through the air to affix to his body, then creates a force to keep them there — simply using mind control.
An avid enthusiast of the phenomenon of psychic energy, Miroslaw has developed his skill to manipulate lifeless objects in mid-air to obey his will, even forcing them spin around or shake. His mental powers are so keen that he can jump around while an object is stuck to his head without losing his mental grasp of the item. Miroslaw explains how he employs psycho kinetics to perform these uncanny feats, “It works because I load myself with energy (I connect myself to it) and at the same time I wish for the object to raise.” Miroslaw has undergone numerous tests for his perplexing skill which remains unexplained by conventional science to date. Although Miroslaw Magola is gifted with some of the strangest abilities in the world which are generally regarded as paranormal, his book is filled with protests against exactly this form of categorization. He deals with and discusses things ‘beyond our world,’ yet describes himself as a radical rationalist and insists on his normality.
4. Manjit Singh: Pulls a Jet with his Ears

57 year-old Manjit Singh, called the “Ironman”, holds more than 30 world records including pulling a double decker bus with his hair, lifting 85 kg with his ears, and of course, pulling a Jet also with his ears! On April 2007, Ironman pulled the aircraft -weighting approximately 7.4 tonnes- 12ft along the apron at East Midlands Airport, UK.
Speaking after the record attempt, he said: “I don’t feel too bad, I have a little bit of pain around the ears but I’m ok.” The attempt raised money for his charity Manjit Fitness, which aims to get children living in his native Mahilpur, India involved in sport.

3. Ru Anting: Writes with his Tears

56 year-old Ru Anting, Luoyang in China, has a very special talent: he can write calligraphy with water he shoots from his eyes. After sucking up some water with his nose, he then sprays it through his tear ducts, ending up on the paper.
Ru discovered his unusual talent as a child while swimming in the river. “Sometimes I would swallow water while swimming, and once I accidentally discovered the water I swallowed could be shot out through my eyes. My friends were all shocked to see it,” he said.
But it wasn’t until the 1990s, when Ru lost his job in a local fertilizer factory after more than 20 years, that he began to develop his unusual talent. After three years of intensive training, he found he could shoot water accurately up to 10ft from his eyes at will.

2. Michel Lotito: Eats Everything

French entertainer Michel Lotito SaveFrom.net is known as Monsieur Mangetout (Mister Eat-it-all). As a famous consumer of undigestables, Lotito’s performances are the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and so on in items such as bicycles, televisions, a Cessna 150, and smaller items which are disassembled, cut-up and swallowed. The aircraft took roughly two years to be ‘eaten’ from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material while a child and has been performing publicly since 1966.
Lotito does not often suffer from ill-effects due to his diet, even after the consumption of materials usually considered poisonous. When performing he consumes around a kilogram of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the ‘meal’. He apparently possesses a stomach and intestine with walls of twice the expected thickness, and his digestive acids are, allegedly, unusually powerful, allowing him to digest a certain portion of his metallic meals.

1. Thai Ngoc: Needs no Sleep

Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, a vietnamese farmer, is known around the world for a unique talent: he needs no sleep. After getting a fever in 1973, we hasn’t been able to sleep and has counted infinite numbers of sheep during more than 11,700 consecutive sleepless nights. “I don’t know whether the insomnia has impacted my health or not. But I’m still healthy and can farm normally like others,” Ngoc said. Proving his health, the elderly resident of Que Trung commune, Que Son district said he can carry two 50kg bags of fertilizer down 4km of road to return home every day.
Ngoc currently lives on his 5ha farm at the foot of a mountain busy with farming and taking care of pigs and chickens all day. His six children live at their house in Que Trung. Ngoc often does extra farm work or guards his farm at night to prevent theft, saying he used three months of sleepless nights to dig two large ponds to raise fish.

Top 10 iphone 4 apps

2011-10-20T13:36:00.000-07:00

1. Zen Bound 2 - £1.79
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Gyroscope)
Zen Bound 2 is one of the most unusual, but strangely satisfying, iPhone games you'll ever play. Essentially you have to wrap a rope around different 3D objects by rotating them as they float in space. Zen Bound 2 makes use of the iPhone 4's built-in gyro to add another level of control to your rotations.

2. Fring - free(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Front facing camera)
We know the iPhone 4 has FaceTime for video chat, but it only works over Wi-Fi networks. If you want to break free of this restriction then install Fring and use that to video chat to your friends over 3G. It even works with phones running the Android operating system, not just other iPhone 4 users.

3. The Elements for iPhone 4 (UK version) - £5.99
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Retina display)
The Elements for iPhone 4 is a special edition of the Theodore Gray's enticing guide to the periodic table of the elements, which has been specially created for the iPhone 4 to make use of the fabulous retina display. The beautiful high resolution graphics make science come to life in your hands.

5. You Gotta See This! - £1.19
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Gyroscope)

Check out #seethis on Twitter for examples.

6. N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance - £2.99
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Gyroscope)
Before the iPhone 4, N.O.V.A. was a damn good first person shooter. After the iPhone 4 it became an even better one because it uses the iPhone 4's gyroscope as a controller aid. The game itself is a sci-fi adventure reminiscent of the Xbox's Halo, but all you really need to know is that if it moves, you generally shoot it, and that's not a bad thing.

7. Rubik's Cube - £1.79
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Gyroscope)
This is the only 'cube' app approved by Mr Rubik himself (his first name is Erno, in case you were wondering), so that's a real seal of approval, if ever we saw one. iPhone 4 owners can get a little extra from the app thanks to the new gyroscope controls. Now you can flick your wrist to make a move, and of course there are improved graphics for the iPhone 4's retina display.

8. Eliminate: GunRange Free - free
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: Gyroscope)
If you want a quick and dirty way to understand what the iPhone 4's gyroscope is all about then check out Eliminate: GunRange Free It's quick and dirty, but in a good way.

There's also a 59p paid-for version if you need more to shoot at than the free version offers.

9. iMovie - £2.99
(iPhone 4 hardware feature: HD video recording)
Now you've got a HD capable video recorder in your pocket you might as well make use of it. Apple's iMovie app enables you to turn your videos into mini masterpieces right on the iPhone 4 then upload them to YouTube. It's understandably limited compared to the full OS X version of iMovie, but it's still an essential app for the iPhone 4.

10. Torch for iPhone 4 - 59p
(New iPhone 4 hardware feature: LED flash)
Here's an app that does what it says on the tin: Torch for iPhone 4 It turns your iPhone 4 into a torch by utilising the LED flash. It's a simple idea, and works surprisingly well. You can even use it to send morse code messages, should you ever feel the need.
