You can keep 19" Monitor in your Pocket !!! Foldable OLED Make it Possible


OLEDs become the star of tomorrow. Flexible and foldable OLEDs are Tested by leading manufactures. Researchers of European ROLLED project have developed a flexible OLED element that can be mass produced using roll-to-roll printing technology. The flexible OLED element can be used in product packaging, posters or on supermarket shelves to attract the attention of consumers and also for keeping your monitor in pocket.

Foldable OLEDs have substrates made of very flexible metallic foils or plastics. Foldable OLEDs are very lightweight and durable.

Invisible women (man) !! The dreams comes true

The researcher of Berkeley University (California) are created a new material called meta-meterial by utilizing the potential of nanotechnology. We know all of the materials we can see in nature have a positive refractive index, but the new meta-material has a negative refractive index of -0.6 for light with a wavelength of 780-nanometers. The meta-material operates in the infrared spectrum with higher frequencies, the materials that we can see is operated in smaller wavelengths.

According to the sources consequence the researchers have to miniaturize their already microscopic designs, a process at the bleeding edge of current technology. The meta-material is obtained through layers of silver, sandwiching a thin sliver of nonconducting magnesium fluoride on a glass sheet and it can capture the electromagnetic radiation and deflect it progressively. In other words the meta -material can control the light direction, making invisible the object that is behind. Practically this new material should bend the luminous waves around the object, at the same manner of a water river around a rock. An observer, in this case, should see only the light coming behind the object. So the invisibility will be a reality and not a dream in the future.

New Windows 7 Features Leaked : Microsoft have to Check their own Security

Microsoft have to check their own security, Windows 7 Leaked!!!!!!!

Driver Protection checks a database that is maintained locally for drivers that are known to be problematic. It can be updated via Windows Update and a new feature called Dynamic Update which essentially updates Windows 7 during installation if an Internet connection is available. Windows 7 might prevent those drivers from being loaded which is a somewhat scary sentence if there is no way to overrule the decision.

Internet Printing and the Online Print Ordering Wizard are two new print services. The first makes it possible to send print jobs to computers over the Internet using the http protocol while the second is supposed to make it easier to send digital photos to online print stores to order prints of them.
