Holy Fast-charging batteries, Batman!

Holy Fast charging batteries, Batman!New innovations on battery technology may have batteries fully charged in just 15 minutes and it lasts an entire week on a single charge.

Dr Harold Kung and his team at Northwestern labs are experimenting on the new tech that
boosts charging rates of lithium ions  by using a chemical oxidation process which drills millions of holes – just 20-40 nanometers wide – in the atom-thick sheets of graphene which makes up a good portion of lithium-ion battery construction. Unfortunately, this prototype battery lifecycle begins to decline quickly after about 150 charges, which is estimated to last a full year before needing to be replaced.

Dr. Kung says the tech may be ready for market in 5 years. Let’s hope by then they’ll figure out how to increase the overall life of this new innovation.

Big Brother is Watching

Big Brother is WatchingThe FCC in the United States have issued a mandate that ALL cellphones in the U.S. to be GPS enabled by 2018.That means another drop in the bucket for loss freedom in the way of the anonymous movement. The authorities can track and locate your position anywhere, at any time. So, much for the misnomer call the Freedom Act.Currently, non-GPS phones have to be triangulated between local Cellular Towers, which is time consuming. Their reasoning behind the move is that in 911 emergencies, this can dangerously delay critical assistance. The Patriot Act made the Fourth Amendment pretty much Null and Void, so why not pin-point everyone who’s on the grid at any time.  For those all ready with smart-phones don’t worry, you are all ready being watched, just kidding.
