Organic virus again help in the creation of a new battery

The group of scientists from the Massachusetts Technological University, led by Angela Belcher (Angela Belcher), has found a way to use some genes of the bacterial virus M13 to create a shell of iron phosphate, which would be able to join the carbon nanotubes.

Organic virus again help in the creation of a new battery

The batteries become more powerful in about 3 times

If all goes well, humanity will receive a new, more powerful electrode, which frees the electrons are faster than conventional lithium batteries. As a result, it will be possible to create a more efficient battery.

According to Belcher, a regular iPod with a battery would be able to work out almost 3 times longer.

The role of the virus M13 is that it must build a shell of iron phosphate. This principle of construction would be similar to those of crustaceans create layers for the shell. All you need to do a virus, it is only water and essential ions.

Commercial implementation

At the moment, development is at a stage in the nanomasshtabah. However, scientists have already begun working on the next phase of technology and are sure that the project is doomed to success.

HD-chips will be cheaper through the use of a single block of memory DRAM

A small company Renesas Technology, is producing chipsets, announced that its engineers have developed a new chip for HD TV, which is the code name – R8J66957BG.

The new chipset area of only 23 mm in the production of cheap and does not require the Renesas Technology to seek assistance from other companies.

Savings in memory

R8J66957BG requires only one block of DRAM-memory, while its competitors – two or more.

As a result, Renesas Technology will be able to produce more of these chips, and sell at lower prices to companies, collectors, which will affect for the better on the cost of the device carrier.

Japanese droidy settle on the Moon by 2020

Japan back in 2006, shortly stated that he was going to colonize the moon for its robots. As it appears from recent reports of the General Directorate for the development of space policies of Japan, the country is the rising sun has not changed. Thus, the two-legged droidy will walk on the surface of our satellite as early as 2020. But how effective are the electronic lunkhead with two lower limbs, remains to be seen.
