Nano Batteries and Electronics Originating from Viruses

an MIT professor named Angela Belcher, try to make the Nano Batteries and Electronics Originating from Viruses since 2006. Referred here is a bacteriophage virus. Now, according to latest reports of Belcher, MIT research documenting the construction of lithium-ion battery with help of a biological virus, dubbed as M13.  

 

M13 acts as an arrangement of biological allows carbon nanotubes and bits of iron phosphate are mixed and form networks toconductor of electricity. in Specifically, MIT using genetic material in the machine to create an anode substance negative battery cathode and substance positive. 

 

 

Everything went well, MIT technique could be displayed below the room temperature which it is most important viewed in terms of perspective manufacturing, a process that MIT has claimed to be cheaper and environmentally friendly. after MIT creating a viral battery, about the size of those found attention turns on the lights small in the MIT lab. Belcher states that only 3 of about 10 grams of bacterial viral material could turn on the iPod for 40 hours. A time with support a full, MIT expects scale is the next technology on electric power vehicles. Maybe later, energy electricity will be replaced with viruses and bacteria.

PC predicted will be replaced by a Tablet

Shipping or distribution flow computers, from desktops, laptops and netbooks, in Western Europe declined by 20 percent in recent years. This decrease is also due to declining interest in Western European societies against desktopatau laptop, which now prefer to use a tablet computer, such as the iPad.
Research firm Gartner said, in the second quarter of this year, PC shipments in Western Europe declined to 12.7 million units.
"In this quarter, the results show increasingly reduced consumer demand. This could indicate changes in market structure, which could be a threat (for PCs, laptops and netbooks) in the next few years," said Meike Escherich, an analyst with Gartner.
"People are addicted to tablets such as the iPad, but retailers are still conservative in placing it with the PC (in stores). Then, there are many who want a separate space for the tablets," said Escherich.
Apple became the only one of five retailers who experienced an increase in PC shipments in Western Europe in the past year. But, Apple is still a manufacturer of PC sales in Europe starting small.
Then, the data Gartner said that Acer's shipments declined by 44.6 percent year on year. Taiwan's manufacturing is indeed struggling with trying to enter the tablet and smartphone market.
Seeing this, another Gartner analyst, Isabelle Durand, said the drop suffered by the Acer more than expected. "PCs are no longer of interest to consumers, which currently require other alternative devices," said Durand.
"Most consumers prefer to maintain their existing PCs and buy another device. Although still considered important, but there is an irresistible presence technology, which could replace the PC," said Durand.
Meanwhile, the tablet computer currently has plans shipments of 150 million by 2015. This amount is based on data owned by the Institute for Research in New York, ABI Research.
These data also show, the tablet will be more bulk shipments this year, which reached 50 million worldwide. From this figure, 75 percent controlled by the iPad, in the second quarter of 2011. Meanwhile, 20 percent of other tablet is a tablet that uses Google's Android operating system.

Remote mind control device

Researchers Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to create electronic devices that are capable of controlling the mind. The device is mounted on the head like a helmet has been tested on mice.

Mind control device consists of two circuit board and an antenna. When tested on mice, researchers can control the behavior of animals from a distance using only light.

"Light for activating specific neurons in the neural network," said one researcher from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT, Christian Wentz.

Innovation committed Wentz with his research team is part of the field of knowledge optogenetika. This field combines the knowledge of optics and genetics is useful for studying the control of cells using light.

To control the mind, researchers examine the specific protein and nerve cells that are sensitive to light stimuli. Protein will open when exposed to light, allowing ions into nerve cells.

By attaching a protein at the right point, researchers can turn certain parts of the brain. This technique allows researchers arouse sexual behavior or aggressiveness, which makes animals run in a circle.

Mind control device is not using the battery as an energy source. Wentz utilize magnetic fields to induce an antenna attached to the head of the rat.

Magnetic induction is what gives power to the 16 LEDs are placed at the helm. The light from LEDs is sufficient to control certain neurons in the rat brain.

A software planted on a circuit board and connected to the computer. Wentz programmed so that the blue light shining on part of the brain that controls motor activity of mice.

Mice itself will move to the left if the light turns blue. "In this way, we can control the movement of a mouse," he explained.

Not only control the movement of mice, researchers also record all the activity of nerve cells exposed to light. This tape will be used to uncover the sensitivity of mice.
