Track Lighting Image Source Track Lighting System Many home owners spend a lot of time and money creating the perfect spaces in their home from choosing painted fabrics to furniture art and decor. But, many also do not know that by designing with light, they can highlight all of these features. Track lighting is one of the most reliable and easiest ways to do it. Track lighting is also a really easy way to add light and direct that light exactly where you want it. If you want to customize the number of lights to be added to a single…

The Use of Solar-Powered LED Lamps The need for installing solar-powered LED bulb is explained in this article. The advantages and components needed for installation is also explained. Solar Powered LED Light Image Source RELATED ARTICLE AIR BULLET TECHNOLOGY TO COOL OVERHEATED LED’S Today, most of the non-renewable energy is wasted in electricity. Though there are renewable resources available for the generation of electricity, they are pretty costly in terms of installment. The use of solar-powered LED lamps can provide lighting to millions who do not even have the basic electricity in their homes. Here are some of the basic…

When you look at the image below, you may think it is just a fuzzy ball of wool that is spun together. But, amazingly it is the best 3-D Simulation model of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV] which displays even the tiniest proteins from the HIV virus and the host it infects. This model has become the winner of the 2010 Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by Science and the National Science Foundation. Image Link This model was created by the Visual Science Company in Moscow and has helped in providing the best knowledge of the structure of HIV…

Our generation has seen all types of film cameras and digital cameras with which megapixel images could be taken. As a matter of fact, these images are still considered as the state of art in digital photography. But with the advancement in technology, Gigapixel images have started to show up, though in vivid detail. It is surprising to know that a Gigapixel image contains at least 1 billion pixels or picture elements. The good thing with Gigapixel images is that they can be very useful in long distance photography and can capture even the minute details. Such an image, when…

We have only heard about uni-junction and bi-junction transistors. Recently, the researchers at the Tyndall National Institute, UCC have developed a transistor which is junctionless. This discovery was made by the team led by Tyndall’s Professor Jean-Pierre Colinge. The first announcement was made by publishing the news in Nature Nanotechnology. The news has been accepted by the leading semiconductor manufacturers with loud applauses. Just when ideas were being made in designing small microchips with these junctionless transistors, the news of smaller junctionless transistors was published. The microprocessors that are being used now have almost 2 billion transistors on a single…

IMAGE TAKEN FROM With the internet revolution all around us, have you ever thought about how slow your internet connection is? Is your internet speed good enough to download movies in just a few minutes? Anyhow the majority of the answers must be a YES. To resolve this problem, a new technology called Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) has been used to increase the internet speed to almost 100 times faster than the existing one. Thus, if you needed 100 minutes to download a movie with the existing connection, you could get it easily in 1 minute or so with the…

On February 11th, 2010, NASA launched a new spacecraft called the Solar Dynamics Observatory [SDO], which was designed to give more knowledge and clearer images of the Sun than any other spacecraft that has been launched before for this purpose. On April 21st, 2010, the scientists of NASA have quoted their experiment with the SDO to be a success as they have received images which are almost 10 times clearer than the high-def TV. The spacecraft has also provided new knowledge on the sun’s dynamic process that will help scientists to know better about its solar activities. The images were…

Recycling E-goods All homes in this world have at least one electronic device and may be more. Some of them include computers, video games, mobile phones, printers, MP3 players and so on. When you buy a computer for the first time you use it as though it is the greatest gift in the world. When four or five years pass by you suddenly think of upgrading your system. The best option you seek out is replacing it with the latest model.  Thus your old PC becomes a waste and you will try to get rid of it. This same experience…

We cannot think of a world without batteries. We use batteries for our everyday use like mobile phones, digital cameras, remote controls and so on.  But still we cannot tolerate the fact that these batteries die with time. They may have to be either replaced or recharged. Some of them are even heavy as well as bulky that you cannot just carry around. A clear solution to all this is the introduction of batteries that can be charged and recharged with the help of our blood and sweat. ­Scientists from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute [RPI] have lately created such a…

There are a lot of house hold electric stuffs that use transformers. For example, speakers, mobile or torch chargers, modems, cordless phones, radios and many more. Usually after their main use, e tend to keep them as it was, that is plugged. If you want to charge a mobile phone, you connect it to the charger and get it fully charged. Later you disconnect the mobile, but forget to switch of the plug. You may also do it purposely. But, little do we think about the amount of power these transformers consume. According to a recent study, there is a…
