Solar panels will make of rust
New
type of solar cell, producing synthetic fuel from light and water
(photoelectrochemical fuel cells), developed by Swiss scientists. Their main material made rust, reported in the journal Energy & Environmental Science.
Rust (iron oxide) could revolutionize solar energy. Enemy of the industry it becomes a friend - if you use it in the production of photoelectrode, splitting the water and producing hydrogen. Then the light will directly convert into fuel (and not electricity, as in modern solar-powered). Alas, as raw rust is not without serious shortcomings. Although she is fantastically cheap and absorbs light just at the wavelength where the sun gives the maximum energy, it is very poor conductor of electricity. Therefore, rust is suitable for use in solar cells only in the form of a thin film that absorbs little light depressingly.

Nuclear energy - triumph or fiasco?
For the European part of Russia, as well as for the UK, nuclear power
is the most affordable large-scale source of energy, so the problems
encountered in nuclear power plants, are of paramount importance.
And in the Russian and British uranium-graphite reactors "have problems with graphite." After three decades of service due to the aggressiveness of the neutron flux on the graphite blocks cracks began to appear. On the stages of development and design of PEM on the occurrence of this problem no one anticipated.

Innovative idea of changing greenhouse horticulture
Russians traditionally like cottages. For
some - it's just work on beds, for someone - outdoor recreation with
family and friends, but for most - and this organic combination of both;
a place where you can work in a fun, relaxing soul. However, it was not always. Shift the focus from the cottages as places heavy physical labor to a
place of rest in no small measure contributed to the development of
greenhouse technologies.
10-15 years ago for self-construction greenhouses or greenhouses on a suburban plot dare not many - too much force is needed to invest in, and the result does not always meet expectations. But progress does not stand still. Several years ago in Denmark under the name Juliana established production ready intelligent greenhouses - simple and easy to assemble, with a variety of options that facilitate the process of exploitation. Today they are sold worldwide and are popular not only among professional gardeners and farmers, but also for fans of environmentally friendly products, as well as those for whom the cultivation of herbs and vegetables on their own plot - burdensome and pleasurable hobby.

Meet - Pepper, a robot, understanding emotions
President of Japanese mobile operator Sina Masayoshi June 5 presented to the public a humanoid robot. This machine is capable of identifying emotions to communicate with her man.
In the sale of the invention will come in February of next year and is expected to cost about $ 1,900. Plans foreign supplies robot are still under consideration.
Machine that does not have legs, but capable of actively gesticulating hands, appeared on the scene of one of the suburbs of Tokyo. It is programmed to read emotions, facial expressions and voice signals all around and, according to Masayoshi, should be the first robot capable of smiling people. Although the initiative to create a "cute robot" in Japan is not innovative. Such devices are already invented, although they were made in the form of animals, not people.

U.S. scientist has developed a new type of battery
Scientists have been able to achieve one of the records of the legendary Nikola Tesla. If the development will successfully pass the test, the new batteries will work 200 times longer than any known today. The main feature of the new battery is the active ingredient - algae.It
is interesting to note that they use all the same modern lithium-ion
technology, which is used in the development of most batteries today. However, thanks to the special structure of the filaments of algae can
be accelerated charge such batteries, which can last only 11 seconds.
Carbon Battery Power Japan Plus high speed charging
Japanese company Power Japan Plus announced the mass production of
carbon batteries of a new generation with an incredibly fast charging
cycle.
The company's engineers claim that they have developed an organic battery based on natural cotton has several advantages over the best lithium-ion counterparts. Comparing its decision to block the lithium-ion rechargeable batteries used in electric Tesla Motors, PJP observes that their battery is much cheaper due to refusal of lithium oxide. Moreover, the battery Ryden much safer are more long-life (up to 3000 charge / discharge cycles versus 500 cycles characteristic of traditional battery) and are charged 20 times faster.

Jyrobike - two-wheeled bicycle for children roly-poly-
American company Jyrobike Inc. Philadelphia offered innovative bike for children who can independently keep a balance on two wheels. Bicycling is not just able to roll himself riderless, but does not fall in mild side shocks. Secret is to use gyroscopes.
Inside the front bicycle wheel mounted rapidly rotating disk. This creates a gyroscopic effect, which balances a bicycle, even if he is going slowly. The device can be purchased separately and installed on another bike. You can also change the speed of rotation of the disk, for different levels of stability. And an adult can do it remotely without disturbing the child to learn, the gyro has a USB connector and software with the battery.
Currently flywheel separately (for installation on any bike) can be ordered at a price of 130 dollars, and Jyrobike - from $ 250.
