Samsung Folding Smartphone Is Actually Being Developed

By

An NEW ERA IN SMARTPHONES





Many of us use our smartphones these days to complete a wide range of tasks; however, tablets still come in handy, allowing us to complete a variety of tasks that would otherwise be difficult (if not impossible) on a smaller screen.


But with Samsung’s latest invention, you can forget about having to budget twice as much for two separate electronic devices.
Samsung has announced its plan to create a foldable smartphone, dubbed the ‘smartlet.’ The phone is a 2-in-1…a smartphone that can transform into a 7-inch tablet when unfolded. You can probably picture it acting a bit like a book. And indeed, it kind of does.




SO, HOW DOES THE THING WORK?

The ‘smartlet’ uses an OLED screen (organic light-emitting diode) that allows the device to fold. These OLEDs also provide a brighter display on electronic devices, are super thin, and use less energy than LCDs.
This new development comes about as Smartphones are reaching their climax. There’s not much more to develop, and products are becoming more generalized. Samsung asserts that they noticed this trend happening over the past 3 years, and hopes that the Smartlet will unleash a new wave of smartphone technology.
“Development of foldable OLED is taking place according to plan,” said Lee Chang-hoon, Director of Samsung’s Display Division. Samsung is hoping to mass-produce the smartphone-tablet starting the second half of this year. There are still some kinks to work out in development procedures, but Samsung has been making notable progress.

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

Edible water balloons that could get rid of the need for plastic bottles

By
In case you didn’t know, bottled water is destroying the planet. We know that we need to be drinking plenty of water. It’s important. But the plastic bottles they’re sold in are terrible for the environment. One solution is using reusable bottles that you can fill from any nearby taps instead of buying a new bottle each time. Another solution is much more exciting. A group of engineers from Skipping Rocks Lab have developed a wonderful thing called The Ooho!. It’s a globe filled water that you can pop in your mouth whole. The outer shell is made of algae, so it’s edible and biodegradable. Meaning there’s no need for packaging or plastic – the globes of water are self-contained and ready to consume. Exciting, right? Plus they’re wobbly and they look cool, which is always a bonus. The team have now created a crowdfunding page to make their creation available to the public, with goals of selling The Ooho! at festival and marathons within the next 12 m...
