TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

Travelling at Speed of Sound?

Hyperloop is steel tube filled with a capsule as a passenger vehicle travelling at speed 760mph (1,220 km/h). Hyperloop Transportation Technologies said that travelling inside the tube create environment much safer and with low pressure similar to an airplane. Travelling without barrier can travel very fast with very little energy. The project now is undergoing in California with hundreds employees in different speciality working part time. The company has unique payment system to employees by paying them with shares as return.  (TI01/RE/8/July/15) 

Pull Data Out of Touch Screen with User Fingertips.   

New touch screen technology is being developed by universities in the United Kingdom, Holland and Denmark. With his fingertips, user would be able to drag data out of touch screen displays, bringing it into the air, feel and touch data like a physical object. The research project named GHOST (Generic, Highly-Organic Shape-Changing Interfaces) works on advances in deformable screen with ultrasound levitation technology. (TI02/FO/8/July/15)

Internet Connection Using Lights

Professor University of Virginia and Harvard University developed device to carry signals to wireless devices at 300 megabits per second by using light waves. It’s working like Wi-Fi system in your device but with more access points than using radio waves.  With LED lights data be transmitted faster without using more energy than the lights which already used.

Becoming Superhuman is Not a Fiction.

A group of researchers has testified human night vision to see in the dark over 50 meters away. A member researcher, Gabriel Licina has story after an hour 50 microliters of Ce6 dripped into his eyes, he was able to see in the dark. Licina’s night vision was successfully recognizing 100% the objects at distant 10 meters and then 50 meters away. Biohack or hacking the human body converged science and biology aims to provide temporary night vision. (TI05/SM/25/March/15)
