LG Flexible OLED Phones Coming This Year

By
The lighter, the better. The thinner, the more appealing. These seem to be the trends in consumer electronics, something that we observe in the latest gadgets released. From laptops to monitors to tablets to mobile phones – what catches the eye of consumers are those units that are sleek and sexy. And speaking of sleek and sexy, flexible displays are well on their way.

Talk about flexible gadgets has been going around for quite some time, with Samsung leading the pack – well, initially. Samsung has taken the point position in talking about development of flexible displays, but recent rumors indicate that another brand might get there before Samsung. Apple has also been rumored to be looking at flexible displays. With the announcement that LG flexible OLED phones are coming out by the end of the year being made, Samsung and all other manufacturers need to up their pace.
The announcement about LG flexible OLED phones was made during a call which was mainly focused on the company’s financial results. As those things go, other tidbits of information are also doled out, perhaps to tantalize the news-hungry public.
Early this year, it looked like Samsung was going to beat everyone else, with the flexible OLED phone prototype being shown off during the CES. We haven’t really seen or heard anything more concrete that that since then.
As for LG, it looks like they are upping the ante by promising us something to look forward to for Christmas. We have to be realistic about the LG flexible OLED phones, though. Assuming that the manufacturer can deliver on its promise, we also need to realize that current technology (circuit boards, etc.) will not be able to handle devices that actually bend. Still, this is definitely the first step to those devices that used to be only stuff from science fiction.
Are you enticed by the thought of flexible OLED phones? Will that tempt you to switch brands if LG pulls this off?

Wind Turbines

By
The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

By
As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year  Gizmag reported  a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...
