UK To Build World's Sizeable Weather Supercomputer
It will weigh the maximum amount as eleven London buses, offer correct weather forecasts per week earlier than time, and ultimately enable meteorologists to mention whether or not freak weather events area unit all the way down to nature or climate-altering act. once designed next year at the united kingdom earth science Office's headquarters in Exeter, the 140-tonne Cray XC40 laptop are the largest, most powerful laptop devoted alone to climate science and meteorology.
"We believe that within the field of weather and climate analysis, this can be the largest within the world," aforesaid Rob Varley, chief government of the Met workplace, World Health Organization in the week declared the plans to create the £97-million large. not like alternative supercomputers, like the larger "Titan" machine at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, the Cray XC40 are devoted solely to climate science. With a capability of sixteen petaflops (a live of the amount of calculations the pc will perform every second), it'll be quite doubly as powerful as its nearest climate-dedicated rival, the vespid machine, that is being designed at the University of metropolis in Federal Republic of Germany.
Advances in computing mean that these days, four-day weather forecasts area unit as correct as one-day forecasts were thirty years past. Varley says the new machine's large computing power can extend this accuracy more, to around 5 or six days ahead.
The computer is additionally meant to spice up the accuracy, scale and reliableness of advanced climate simulations and models, to raised assess however temperature change can impact weather systems. Pier Luigi Vidale, a climate man of science at the University of Reading, UK, says that one in all the primary comes to deploy the Cray are the pan-European Primavera study, which is able to examine the combined effects oceans, aerosols and greenhouse gases area unit doubtless to possess on climate patterns and extreme weather events over following fifty years.

Ultrasound Makes Hologram Keyboard Touchy-Feely
Now nullity is a touchscreen. Yasuaki Monnai and his team at the University of capital of Japan have created a virtual screen you'll feel. known as HaptoMime, it uses reflective surfaces to form a holographic show.
"It's like touching a toy keyboard," says Monnai. "You solely have to be compelled to reach out your freedom onto the floating image."
An infrared device detects once someone tries to the touch it, at that purpose unhearable vibrations area unit centered on to the fingertips, giving the impression of physical contact. dynamic the unhearable pressure offers a spread of sensations, from the sensation of wind to a rigid surface.
The floating image is subtle enough to let users play a virtual piano or scan a 6pt Times New Roman font simply in mid-air, says Monnai.
He believes secure word entry at ATMs may well be the primary of the many applications. different prospects embody browsing the net, checking for recipes with wet or dirty hands, or sanctioning doctors to move a lot of freely with interfaces throughout surgery. it might conjointly eliminate the chance of shared interface publicly areas spreading any infection or illness.
HaptoMime was given at the ACM conference on interface software system and Technology (UIST) in Hawaii earlier this month.

Smartphone Battery That Will Last 20 Year Charging Just Once
Shanghai (China) , a university in China created a battery with the help of lithium which fills 70% of it in just 60 seconds and will drain in 20 years after first charge, it's totally mind blowing.
This amazing battery will be available in 2016, it will give serious hopes to mega power consuming chips in smartphones. This new tech have got licence and will start production in one and half year. Now we can put some serious chips in phone not worrying about power consumption also it will help to make laptop battery 10 + years. It's just a revolution.
It just completely charges in 2 minutes approx and lasts for 20 years OMG! that's whooping numbers.

World's Fastest Browser MX Nitro By Maxthon
Beijing maxthon brought world's fastest web browser the MX Nitro, which is very easy to use. Maxthon claims that it's the fastest browser of the world, which opens thrice faster than blazzing fast Chrome and is 30% faster than Chrome and 40-50% from Fire Fox. It will be available for windows platform only means no other OS may be later they bring it for IOS and Android OS.
Currently the browser is suffering from several plug-ins, but will be ready soon.
Wait isn't there a faster browser than this? Yes you are right Internet Explorer. *joke*
