OLED Technology Brings The Flexible Screen

Flexible screens have been in the que for awhile now, but hitting the mainstream market running, has to be difficult. Not since Apple's Iphone have we seen a game changer hit the ground running in the middle of a technology sprint. Now leaders like Samsung are trying to follow up a tough act. At least in the sense of sticking the landing. Much like knowing that the worlds fastest man is in the Olympics, knowing that Samsung has had a viable flex screen created still has to be seen. We want to see if it can enter the market with minimal flaws and show well out of the gates.

The basis is from OLED technology or organic light emitting diode displays. This is a fun technology that you should look up on Youtube here. it will soon allow for a whole new ability to interact with technology and live with it. It seems to me that technology is morphing closer and closer into a life form, merging with our need for it to be one with us, no matter if we consciously want that and all of its scarey implications or not. It is simply the direction we are heading and the inertia is not going to be impeded upon by human conscious-it will only gain speed with human desire.

Bringing this new technology to the surface via smartphones will be smart way of going, at some point I wonder when we are going to find ourselves not just embracing fun new technologies, but also being faced with moral crisis that are tied to it. For now Samsung is bringing out a fun new concept to a key feature of our tech world a flexible display, but we are not far from human integrated technologies that are invasive.

Solar car hits U.S. in round-the-world jaunt

Last October, the SolarWorld GT solar-powered car set out from Darwin, Australia on a drive around the world. It has since driven 3,001 kilometers (1,865 miles) across Australia, logged 1,947 km (1,210 miles) crossing New Zealand and been shipped across the Pacific Ocean. This Friday, it will embark on the U.S. leg of its journey, as it sets out across America from the University of California, Santa Barbara. The SolarWorld GT is the result of a collaboration between solar panel manufacturer SolarWorld, and Bochum University of Applied Sciences in Germany. The four-wheeled, two-door, two-seat car gathers solar energy through photovoltaic panels built into its roof, with its solar generator offering a peak performance of 823 watts. Custom hub motors are located in both of the front wheels. The vehicle manages an average speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), with a claimed top speed of 100 km/h (62 mph). In order to demonstrate that solar powered cars needn't be a radical...

Biocomputer, Alternative To Quantum Computers

A team of international scientists from Canada, the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden announced Friday that they had developed a model biological supercomputer capable of solving complex mathematical problems using far less energy than standard electronic supercomputers. The model “biocomputer,” which is roughly the size of a book, is powered by Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — dubbed the “molecular unit of currency.” According to description of the device, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the biocomputer uses proteins present in all living cells to function. It uses a strategy similar to that of quantum computers, which use qubits — the quantum computing equivalents of bits — to perform “parallel computation,” wherein computers are able to process information quickly and accurately by performing several calculations simultaneously, rather than sequentially. In the case of the biocomputer, the qubits are replaced with ...

Qualcomm showcases the Snapdragon S4 ahead of Mobile World Congress

We’ve already heard about Qualcomm’s latest processor, the Snapdragon S4 , which will be quad-core and utilize LTE. Qualcomm took the time to give us some details ahead of Mobile World Congress. The new SoC now supports up to three cameras (two in the back for 3D and one front-facing), 20-megapixels, and recording video at 1080p (30fps). We can also expect zero shutter lag, 3A processing (autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance), and improved blink/smile detection, gaze estimation, range finding and image stabilization. Last but not least, it supports gesture detection/control, augmented reality , and computer vision (via Qualcomm’s FastCV). Hit the break for a couple of videos featuring image stabilization and gestures.
