Meteorit Hoba, Meteorit Terbesar yang Ditemukan di Bumi

Meteorit Hoba terletak di peternakan "Hoba West", tidak jauh dari Grootfontein, di Wilayah Otjozondjupa Namibia.
Hal ini ditemukan oleh petani Jacobus Hermanus Brits saat mengolah salah satu bidang pertaniannya, tahun 1920 ketika ia membajak dengan lembu tanpa sengaja bajak nya tersangkut.
Meteorit digali segera  namun karena itu begitu besar - sekitar 60 ton - tidak pernah dipindahkan.
Meteorit Hobe bukan hanya meteorit terbesar yang diketahui tetapi juga bagian yang terjadi secara alamiah , sebagian besar mengandung besi alami..


Meteorit Hoba diperkirakan telah mendarat kurang dari 80.000 tahun yang lalu. Anehnya, meteorit tidak meninggalkan kawah

Hal ini dispekulasikan bahwa meteorit itu memasuki atmosfer bumi pada sudut yang sangat dangkal, diperlambat oleh suasana ke titik yang jatuh ke permukaan pada kecepatan terminal, sehingga tersisa utuh dan menyebabkan sedikit bekas.

Meteorit ini tidak seperti meteorit kebanyakan yang rata di hampir semua sisnya , mungkin menyebabkan ia telah melewatkan di bagian atas atmosfer batu datar yang dilemparkan dan meloncat di atas air.

Meteorit berukuran 8 kaki 9 inchi .Pada tahun 1920 berat meteorit diperkirakan 66 ton.Erosi, sampling ilmiah dan vandalisme telah mengurangi massa meteorit selama bertahun-tahun menjadi 60 ton .Tanda gergaji besi dapat dikenali dengan mudah di banyak tempat di permukaan meteorit.

Dalam upaya untuk mengendalikan vandalisme, meteorit Hoba dinyatakan sebagai Monumen Nasional pada tahun 1955. Namun, perusakan meteorit terus terjadi sampai Foundation Rössing mendanai restorasi secara menyeluruh dan pelestarian meteorit itu pada tahun 1988.

Di tahun itu, pusat wisata itu dibuka di situs Meteorit berada.Untuk biaya masuk yang kecil besi Hoba dapat dikunjungi, disentuh dan bahkan dinaiki untuk pemotretan foto spektakuler. Meteorit Hoba sekarang dikunjungi ribuan wisatawan setiap tahun.


Blackberry Empathy "We Want Your Empathy"



For their sponsored project held by RIM Blackberry at the Art Center College of Design, designers Kiki and Daniel had to incorporate an interface that integrates human emotions with the concept of social networking. The result of this exercise was the Empathy concept. The phone is used in conjunction with a biometrics ring that is worn by the user to collect “emotional data”. Spec-wise it features a transparent OLED screen that becomes transparent when not in use and opaque during interaction. The front is all touch surface, while on the back there is a physical keyboard.

As Daniel describes the interface:
It is of course touch based and all the user’s connections are shown graphically so you can see who is connected to whom. Each contact has an avatar that is encompassed by two colored rings. The inner colored ring shows the contact’s previous emotional state, and the outer ring represents the contact’s current emotional state. It is important to show the shift in emotions in order to see how an event has affected that contact.

Another important feature that we felt was important was the “Emotional Health Chart”. This chart would monitor the user’s emotional health through an indefinite period of time. One would be able to see how a certain event, or phone call/ message has affected the user. Obviously, if the chart shows someone is always upset, there would be a problem… If permitted, a user would be able  to view other user’s charts as well.

The Smallest Phone in The World

With the technology of modern as today, make a phone that small is no longer a problem. In fact, many vendors are competing to make mobile phones smaller. But for now no one has beat the Xun Chi 138 HP. Mobile super mini size 67mm length is only slightly longer than AA batteries, and weighs only 55 grams.

With such a small size is of course it's not possible to use either the keypad in the form of buttons or touch screen. Thus the Xun Chi 138 HP uses a touch screen that can recognize handwriting. This is the specification of the world's smallest Mobile:
  • Size 67mm x 32mm x 18mm
  • Weight 55 grams
  • GSM 900, 1800 MHz
  • LCD Screen Touch Screen
  • Camera 1.3 Megapixel (VGA)

Nokia Morph: Future Mobile Phone Nokia (Pict + Video)

The idea was first raised Nokia Morph Nokia in 2008. Nokia seems to believe that the phone of the future may look like the Morph that carries the concept of nanotechnology and has a physical form that is more flexible.
Nokia Morph prototype is currently being developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and Cambridge University. Nokia Morph concept shows future of mobile devices will have the form of a flexible and supple.
Nokia itself of late is busy filing patents for new mobile devices are equipped with screens that can be bent. This may be a sign that the ideas raised by the Nokia Morph 2 years ago, maybe in the near future will become reality.
"Morph concept technologies Might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices: * Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with The Way We Live
* Devices changed from self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption Might charge a device, whilst batteries changed from Smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors Might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices "

Apart from the smallest, also claimed, the screen is 30% clearer and brighter than the TFT LCD screens available today. 

The resulting color to reach 16.77 million and had reached 160 ° viewing angle both horizontally and vertically.

Cool to watch a movie or see the picture but if you are able to type?

Ortustech screen is apparently also works great if used in a smartphone or a gaming device.

Only, do not mention whether it will eventually be marketed in electronic products.
