August 25th, 2012 Edward Well you can’t exactly use your microwave to produce electricity or put it in sun and it will cook your stuff, but now you can use it to produce an important compound used for Solar cells very cheaply.
Reportedly researchers at Oregon State use microwave heating to synthesis copper zinc tin sulfide. So what [...]
April 4th, 2012 Edward Here are couple of things you never heard of Google glasses and Holoflector. These are I would say the first important step towards viable augmented reality future.
They are from rival companies Google and Microsoft. Without further ado,:
