The guys at Lookout Mobile have developed an interesting infographic showing a series of simple steps, by which we can extend the battery life of your smart phone enormously. This is supported by a survey showing that 59% of smartphone users say the battery life of a phone is essential to them when deciding on either model.

In the childhood, almost everyone loved flying kite. NASA is bringing the childhood memories live again with their new airborne wind power system which incorporates the simplest technology of flying kite. Though it is an under-developing project but the test result of the prototype is very promising. The successful implementation will add a new…

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a method for generating power using viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity. Researchers have put viruses to work in the lab, using them to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces, and to run a small…

This week at the Electric Vehicle Symposium in Los Angeles, Siemens has announced its 'eHighway' concept. The eHighway concept introduces the idea of diesel-electric hybrid trucks which can work like a electric trolley when overhead electric lines are available and work as a diesel truck when overhead electric lines are not available. Siemens says…

Scientists at Ohio State University have built a special high-power laser that can sustain fusion reactions and can work as a source of energy. A research team at the High Energy Density Physics lab at Ohio State University has spent 6 years to build this special high-power laser. It required $6 million to construct the laser. The US Department of…

Imagine, you’re traveling through the desert. You have drank the last drop of water from your water bottle but you are still thirsty. But you can't find any water source around. How would you feel then? Helpless, may be! No matter what you feel like, finding fresh water in the desert is hard. Keeping that in mind, a French-based technology company…

Electricity and Mobile Phone have become a part and parcel of our daily life. Without these two, our life becomes stuck. We recharge our mobile through electricity. But unfortunately, electricity has not been spread all over the world. Imagine, you are in such a place where there is no electricity and at that time you have to make a call from your…

Intensive researchers around the world have always focused on improving the performance of solar photovoltaic cells and bringing down their cost. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, because the cost of solar panels has dropped so much, it is the time designing 3D structures to take in more light and boost power…

The ARM Cortex M0+ processor is the most energy efficient processor, the company's target is low cost MCU, sensor and control markets. Apparently it seems that it will not easy at all but if the company strictly follow their success guidline then may be it posssible. The Cortex M0+ processor comes with a wide selection of options to provide…

Apple's project of installing a 5MW fuel cell farm is the largest nonutility fuel call installation in the whole of U.S. Now, it has been revealed that Bloom Energy is working on this project and will be furnishing it's 'Bloom Boxes' for the farm. Each of these Bloom Boxes is capable of supplying 100 kilowatts of power and so about 50 of them will…
