  Anti-infection coatings CHECK OUT FOR MORE ANTI-INFECTION COATING PRODUCTS As COVID-19 can linger on certain surfaces for days, scientists have been scrambling to create potent antiviral coatings. A spray developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) last April uses heat-sensitive polymers that release disinfectants on human contact and can offer protection for up to 90 days. Meanwhile, researchers at Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev revealed that they were working on a similar nano-metal and polymer-based

Electric cars powered up by Finnish innovations HIGH TECHNOLOGY › SMART TECHNOLOGY The Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) and a group of Finnish businesses have developed new intelligent solutions for electric vehicles to enable a standardised charging infrastructure, remote booking of a charging station as well as an intelligent charging process. The intelligent solutions were developed within the European Internet of Energy project. The other Finnish participants, in addition to VTT, were Elektrobit Wireless Communications (EB), Empower IM and Emtele. The project was funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology Tekes and Artemis JU. “Using the innovations created during this project, we are able to transfer information between a charging station, car and the electric grid, which enables several other services and makes it much more flexible to use an electric car,” says principal scientist and head of The Internet of Energy project in Finland, Juhani Latvakosk...

New innovations for Better UX I just love to see creative thinking, especially when it comes to connecting the dots between different technologies to create new innovations! We are living in a wonderful time for anyone who wants to create something. And I don’t mean to those who considers themselves part of the Makers movement, because today everyone can create amazing things, doesn’t matter what is your background and what skills you’ve got, if you like DIY projects than you know what I’m talking about… Take this guys for example, a company called Aesthetic Interactive, they actually mixed between Oculus-Rift and Leap-Motionto deliver a new kind of virtual-reality user-interface called Hovercast. This is a great example of creative thinking out of the box! And now I wonder when Microsoft will realize the potential in it, and if they will take an action to include some sort of Kinect sensors in their new magnificent HoloLens device. Meanwhile according to what we have seen when Micro...

The Steam Engine Kicked Things OFF The Steam Engine Kicked Things OffThe steam engine was, undoubtedly, the most important innovation in automobile engineering. Although originally developed to pump water out of mines, improvements over time would drastically shrink the size of the technology. The first reliable engine was developed by in 1775 but this was, in turn, refinement of the earlier Newcomen Engine. Steam engines would initially lead to the development of locomotives and ship propulsion but would later be refined for use in early cars in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The steam car became popular at this time, especially as roads improved. Fuel was relatively cheap as well. The fate of the steam engined car was sealed when Henry Ford fully developed his mass production process. Electrical starters for internal combustion engines also removed the need for hand crank engine starting but internal combustion engine driven cars would ultimately win out as they were  ...

Transparent Smartphones Inventors, Jung Won Seo, Jae-Woo Park, Keong Su Lin, Ji-Hwan Yang and Sang Jung Kang, who are scientists at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, have created the world's first transparent computer chip. The chip, known as (TRRAM) or transparent resistive random access memory, is similar to existing chips known as (CMOS) or metal-oxide semiconductor memory, which we use in The difference is that TRRAM is completely clear and transparent. What is the benefit of having transparency? "It is a new milestone of transparent electronic systems," says Jung Won Seo. "By integrating TRRAM with other transparent electronic components, we can create a total see-through embedded electronic systems." The technology could enable the windows or mirrors in your home to be used as computer monitors and television screens. This technology is expected to be available within 3 to 4 years.

3-D print electronics and cells printed directly on skin In a groundbreaking new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota used a customized, low-cost 3D printer to print electronics on a real hand for the first time. The technology could be used by soldiers on the battlefield to print temporary sensors on their bodies to detect chemical or biological agents or solar cells to charge essential electronics. Researchers also successfully printed biological cells on the skin wound of a mouse. The technique could lead to new medical treatments for wound healing and direct printing of grafts for skin disorders. The research study was published today on the inside back cover of the academic journal Advanced Materials. "We are excited about the potential of this new 3D-printing technology using a portable, lightweight printer costing less than $400," said Michael McAlpine, the study's lead author and the University of Minnesota Benjamin Mayhugh Associate Profes...

Decades ago, the kitchen was hidden in the back of the house. It was a place where meals were prepared and dirty dishes were washed. Fast forward to 2018 and the kitchen has a much different role. Today, the kitchen is the focal point of the home, the place that brings everyone together at the start of the day or after a long day way. Now instead, the kitchen is paraded in all its beauty and warmth at the very center of the house. Kitchens have changed a lot over the decades and planning for your kitchen remodel is very important. Technology advances and changing social dynamics have contributed greatly to the rise of the modern kitchen.

You'll get the same delicate, laid-back feel with much no effort.

Finally, there are the Quadra-Drive II powertrain upgrades that beefs up the Trailhawk's rear axle and adds an electronic limited-slip differential that can proactively transfer up to 100-percent of available torque between the left and right rear wheels if slip is detected. Between the center diff and the rear LSD, the Trailhawk could potentially send all 260 pound-feet of its torque to just one of the rear wheels if the other three are slipping.sehold devices. 

There's an awful lot to like about Philips Hue's smart lighting ecosystem. It's polished. It's easy to use. It works with just about everything. The only problem? The price. A starter kit with the essential Philips Hue Bridge and three color-changing bulbs  costs $180  -- a steep point of entry for connected lighting. Fortunately, that color-changing kit isn't your only option. For $70, Philips also sells a starter kit with that same Hue Bridge and a pair of plain, soft white smart bulbs. They won't change colors at all, but you can still automate them to turn on and off or dim up and down, and they'll work with all of the same third-party services as the rest of the Hue lineup, including Amazon's Alexa, Apple HomeKit, IFTTT, the Nest Learning Thermostat and more. Plus, given that the Hue Bridge typically sells for about $60 on its own, you're basically getting them for $5 each if you buy the kit, which is a heck of a deal. All of that makes the P...

HTC 10 HTC’s smartphones have always been good-looking, and the latest flagship HTC 10 continues to carry forward that tradition. Interestingly, the phone is quite different compared to the company’s last year M9 flagship. With the HTC 10, the company has ditched the dual front speaker design that its phones are known for. The home key at the bottom of the 5.2-inch Quad HD display now also has an integrated fingerprint sensor. The rear of the handset has a slightly curved design, accompanied by thick chamfers on both sides. This makes it easy to hold the phone and provides a solid grip as well. HTC 10 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. There’s also a 3,000mAh batter powering the whole package. Sony Xperia X  With a full metal unibody construction, Sony’s Xperia X flagship is another smartphone that’s a sight to look at. The phone has a 5-inch Full HD display and a matte-finished metal rear panel. Given its co...
