Next Generation Technology from Nvidia Optimus

Chip card that can maximize the look and at the same time reducing energy. This next generation technology created by NVIDIA to enhance the performance of the Graphic to save power. Nvidia reportedly was preparing a chip card called Optimus. card is created for laptop menginovasi current needs.

The company promises that Optimus can improve graphics performance, and designed to conserve notebook battery life. Also used to replace Optimus Hybrid SLI technology and Hybrid Graphics before. Another plus of the chip is Optimus allows users to install two graphics cards at once in the notebook. So that when users want to save battery life, users can switch to the card's integrated Intel graphics.

Female Hormone Found in Plants Walnuts

Scientists have discovered a female hormone called progesterone on walnut plants. This finding was surprising because it clarifies the differences that had been there in plants and animals. Because, until now scientists have thought only animals that can produce progesterone. The hormone progesterone has a function to prepare the uterus during pregnancy face and keep it. Synthetic versions of this hormone, the progestin, is generally used for pregnancy control pills and other medications.

Guido F Pauli and her team from the American Chemical Society's Journal of Natural Products mentioned the meaning of a definite identification of progesterone can not be overstated. "Biological role of progesterone in mammals has been studied extensively. But in plants, the reason for the presence of this hormone is still not clear," said Pauli.

The team members then speculated that these hormones, just like other steroid hormones, the possibility of an ancient bioregulator evolved billions of years ago, before the emergence of modern plants and animals. The new discovery which is the next generation to scientific understanding of the evolution and function of progesterone in living organisms.

Previously, scientists identified the progesterone-like compounds found in plants and speculated that hormones may present itself in plants. Pauli in his study used two laboratory techniques, namely nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy to detect progesterone in the leaves of walnut trees.

Copying Machine for Printing Nano-Scale Cell

With the example of a copying machine in the office, the scientists then created a printer or printing machine that could produce a copy of the image size of biological cells Nano-scale. Scientists from the University of Illinois developed a copying machine that prints the cells in biological cells can be very helpful in making artificial tissues. "By modifying the technique, it would be possible to manipulate biological cells or cell biomolecules such as DNA," said study team leader John Rogers.

Electro Hydrodynamic jet printer made in their work with different electrical voltage between the metallic nozzle and subtrat below. Results of electric voltage causes ions in the charge of ink in the nozzle assembly and the surface is formed like a crescent moon. Because the ion charges repel, the surface of the crescent moon will then be transformed into a cone shape, produces super-thin tip of a small drop of ink in which the smallest was issued.

This process produces an imbalance in the quantity of negative and positive ions in the printing ink. However, team members realized that by changing the voltage polarity, they can solve these problems and can also print a variety of complex patterns of negative or positive charge into the substrate. In essence, this ability is required to make copies of the complex biological cells and very small.

Laptop Transparent AMOLED from Samsung

Samsung made a breakthrough with the release of a laptop with a transparent AMOLED display view. Introduced at CES 2010, this transparent laptops will be sold starting next year. "We have a lab in Seoul, South Korea, who worked to bring a laptop with a material that made him transparent," explained Reid Samsung Electronics America.

"Soon, in the future we will create an audio-visual products with this technology. We want to be the first in the market," he added. In addition, Samsung laptop IceTouch technology also uses an MP3 player with a transparent screen two inches wide. Users can control the MP3 by knocking the screen, while a video display on the screen goes ahead. Samsung said the 14-inch screen is a transparent AMOLED prototype widest panel is the first time there. The next generation of samsung technology is still in development.

Next Technology Phone from Google to Translate the Voice

Language differences are often a barrier to communication. But with the presence of mobile language translator, seems it would not be valid anymore. This is a unique mobile phone innovation of the Internet company Google and is being developed after the previous release of the G1 phone and the Nexus One. Companies based in Mountain View, California provides leaks, the software in the phone can change the conversation in a foreign language into understandable language the user directly.

Head of Google's translation service Franz Och mention, the current translation directly in a conversation is needed. "Such equipment must be able to fulfill its function well. For that, we need a combination of machine translation is very accurate with speech recognition systems a high level of accuracy premises. This is what currently we are developing," said Franz.

Google acknowledged, the voice of speech would be more difficult to translate than the written language. Therefore, Google is also trying to analyze the speaking style of their customers and adapt to their devices. "Everyone has a voice, accent and speak a different tone," said Och. Google hopes, this handset will be very help millions of people around the world in order to communicate well.

United Nations Called for to Prevent Cyber War

United Nations (UN) calls upon all countries in the world to make an agreement on cooperation to prevent cyber war. This was expressed general secretary of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Hamadoun Toure at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which took place 27-31 January 2010. Thus was launched AsiaOne.

"Cyber war can be more dangerous than the tsunami, just look what happened to the attacks in Estonia, a year ago," said Toure. Toure added, the agreement can be made such as Like a peace treaty that made the countries before the war. Every nation, continued Toure must ensure every citizen to access information and dispel any cyber terrorist attacks.

"They must promise not to attack each other with each other," he said. Meanwhile, Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie said that Microsoft, at least 10 major countries in the world enough to attack other countries given the ability of the internet that is very large for next-generation technology.
