For
hydrogen fuel production,
artificial photo synthesis
of solar energy : According to a report
published on September 12, 2016, German scientists,
have successfully created the first complete and compact artificial photosynthesis
facility that could be used in
practical applications outside the lab. This is a significant shift from the conventional trend to harness renewable energy from wind to solar energy. The scientists have used in the new facility the photo electrochemical water splitting, which utilises a
combination of solar cells and electrolyser
to convert solar power to hydrogen
for storage. The design offers a
possibility of photo electrochemical
water splitting being tested in real-life applications.
Titbit' for updates on health parameters : Scientists have developed dust-sized wireless sensors implanted inside the body to track neural activity In real-time, offering a
potential new way to monitor or treat a range of conditions including epilepsy and control
next-generation
prosthetics. In a report published on September 7, 2016, Niichel Maharbiz, an associate professor of electrical engineering and
computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, said that you could think of it as sort of an internal,
deep-tissue Fitbit, where you would be collecting a lot of data that today we often thought of as hard to access. The tiny devices
have been
demonstrated successfully in rats, and could be tested in people within two years, the researchers said.
