NOW BRAINPRINTS INSTEAD OF FINGER PRINTS WILL BE USED IN FUTURE

Scientists   have  developed   a  system  that   can  identify  the   people  using  their  brain  waves  or  'brain  print'  with  100%  accuracy  , an  advance  that   may  be  useful  in  high  security   applications . Researchers  at   Binghamton   University   in  the   in  the  US  recorded   brain  activity  of  50  people  wearing  a  electro-encephalogram(EEG) headset   while  they  looked  at  a  series  of  500  images  designed   specifically     to  elicit  unique  responses  from  person  to  person  -for  example   a  slice  of  pizza ,a boat,or  the  word "conundrum" They   found  that   participants'   brains  react  differently  to  each  image, that  a  computer  system   was  able   to  identify   each   volunteer's  'brain print'  with  100%  accuracy."when  you  take   hundreds  of  these  images ,where  every  person  is  going to  feel  differently   about   each  individual   one,  then  you can  be  really   accu

NOW TRANSPARENT WOOD TO BRIGHTEN HOMES

Scientists   have   developed  transparent  wood  that  could   be   used   in building  materials   and  would  help    home  and  construction  owners   save  money   on  artificial   lighting   costs. The  material   could  also   find  application in  solar cell  windows .researchers  said . The  theory   is  ,if  the  walls  themselves  were  transparent  ,this  would   reduce  the  need  for  artificial   lighting . Researchers  from    KTH  Royal  Institute  of  Technology  in  Stockholm,removed  lignin   from Balsa  tree. Lignin  is   a   structural   polymer  in  plants  that  blocks    80  to  90% of  light   from  passing  through .To  allow  light  to  pass  through  the  wood  more   directly ,researchers   incorporated  acrylic  ,often   known  as  Plexiglass.. The transparent wood was created by first stripping all the lignin - a natural wood fibre found in cell walls - from the material. That makes the wood "beautifully white", the researchers

STRANGE -BUT TRUE-NOW CLEAN CLOTHES WITH SUNLIGHT

Now  you   can  clean your  clothes   with  the  help  of  sunlight   within  minutes. Scientists   have   developed   , a low  cost  ,efficient  way   to  grow  nano structures  on  textiles  that  can  degrade    organic  matter   when  exposed  to  light. The   research   from    RMTT University   in  Australia  pave  the  way   towards  nano  -enhanced  textiles  that   can  spontaneously  clean  themselves   of  stain  and  grime   simply  by  being  put   under  a  light   bulb  or  worn  out  in  the  sun  . The  process  has  a  variety  of    applications   for  catalysis  -based  industries  such  as  agrochemicals,pharmaceuticals  and   natural  products. The  researchers   worked   with  copper  and  siver  based  nano structures  , which  are  known  for their  ability  to absorbed   visible  light  .When  the   nano  structures   are  exposed  to  light  ,they   receive  an  energy  boost  that  creates    "hot electrons". These  release  a  bust  of 

NOW A SMART UMRELLLA THAT PREDICTS RAIN TOO

A   Company  in  France  has  developed  a  new  ,smart  umbrella  that ,  when  paired  with  a smart  phone  app,can  not  only  predict  the  weather   but  also  send you   a   notification,if  you  leave  it  behind . The  name  given  to  it  is  'Oombrella'.It  is fitted  with  a  capsule  having  sensors     for  air pressure,humidity,temperature    and  light . This   set  up  allows  umbrella to  tell  whether  or  not  rain  in  next   fifteen  minutes,notifying   the  user  via  an  app.It  can  also  record  weather data   and   can  held the  camera  on  top.The  capsule  also  has  an  integrated  buzzer  and light  so  that  user  can  be  alerted  when  they  get  a  call. The  ribs  of the  umbrella   are  made  of  kevlar ,  a  synthetic  fiber  of  high tensile   strength. The  company  Wezzoo,  the  device   is  "really  wind  resistant"  with  the  capability  of  withstanding   storms, hailstorms   and  snow storms .The  handle  has  a

NEW FOUND-A PATTERN IN PRIME NUMBERS.

Two  academics have  shocked  the  world   of  Mathematics  by  discovering  a  pattern  in  Prime  numbers. Primes  -  numbers  greater  than  1  that  are  divisible   only  by    themselves   and  1  - are  considered   the  'building  blocks '  of   mathematics,  because  every  number  is either  a  prime  or  can  be  built  by  multiplying  prime  numbers  together  -84  ,  for  example ,   is  2x2x3x7. The  properties  of  prime  numbers  have  baffled  number  theorists  for  centuries ,  but   mathematicians   have  felt  safe   working  on  the  assumption  they could  treat  prime  numbers as  if   they  occur  randomly  . Now  ,  however  Kanman  Soumdararajan  and  Robert   Lemke  Oliver  of  Stanford  University   in  the  US  have  discovered   that  when  it  comes  to   the  last  digit  of  prime  numbers , there  is  a kind of  pattern . Apart  from  2  and  5 ,  all  prime numbers  have  to   end in  1,3,7or  9   so  that  they  can't  be divi

NOW DOODLE TO UNLOCK YOUR SMART PHONE.

Soon  ,you  will  be  able   to  log  into  your  smart phone  with  sweeping  gestures  or  doodling  by  using  one  or  more  fingers. Researchers   from  Rutgers University  in  the  US  have  performed  the  first  study  of  free-form   gestures   passwords  for  smart phones  in  the  field .Free-  form  gestures passwords   allow  people  to  draw a password    of  any  shape  with  any  number  of  fingers,researchers  said. The  results  show  that  free-form  gesture  passwords  are  a serious  alternative   to  text or  other  log-in  methods  ,especially  for  mobile  devices ,  they  said.Free  -form  passwords  are  very   suitable  for  touchscreens ,  faster  to  use , easy  to  remember  and  most importantly  hard  to  guess. "preventing  people  from  hacking  into  your  smartphone  is  a  major  issue ,  and  it  becomes  more  important   because  people  carry  their  smartphone  every where",Said  janne-  Lindqvist from   Rutgers  University. &

NOW THE 'NOT COMS' IN THE WEB.

New research suggests that a lack of remaining domain names with easy to remember – and consequently valuable – word combinations is restricting Internet growth, with an untapped demand of as much as 25% of all current domains being held back. The study’s author contends that the findings show ICANN’s release of new top level domains could prove a wise policy.  As the digital age dawned, pioneers successfully snapped up broad swathes of the most popular and memorable domain names, such as nouns, places and combinations thereof – claiming valuable ‘virtual real estate’ under the top level domains such as dot-com, dot-co-dot-UK and so on. Now, the first research to try and define current demand for Internet domain names suggests that the drying up of intuitive and familiar word combinations has seen domain registration drop far below the expected appetite, given the extent to which we now live online, with new entrepreneurs struggling to find “their slice” of vi
