This aircraft is able to walk with wings

BERN - Researchers from Polytech Lausanne in Switzerland, developed the design of unmanned aircraft that is able to fly. Prototype drone (unmanned aircraft) was performed with a configuration that looks simple and has a propeller facing the rear.

The researchers designed the winged aircraft that are not only capable of flying high, but is also able to move or walk on land. When in the air, the plane can fly straight forward and carries the simple configuration with help the propeller.

While current on land, wings function is claimed to be something very special. Researchers revealed that being a problem when the plane has extra heavy structure, thus making the wheel does not work in rough terrain.

Unmanned aircraft (Deployable Air Land Exploration Robot) this is known to have wings that are installed on the shaft that can be locked or rotated. On land, a prototype made in Swiss researchers this is reportedly able to 'walk' using the wings with the ability mileage 0.2 meters per second.

The researcher also explained that on rough surfaces or high obstacle can also be handled by the aircraft. Further development of this plane can be related breakthrough creation unmanned aircraft that is able to launches from the rugged terrain surface.

Japanese scientists develop 'robot skin' innovative

TOKYO - Japanese scientists claim to be able to develop what they refer to as electronic circuits most thin and the mildest. Developing a further could be used in health application and 'robot skin' in the future.

Researchers from Tokyo University, Takao Someya and Tsuyoshi Sekitani has been work on projects supported by Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology (ERATO) as well as the group of the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Austria.

Ultra-thin integrated circuit that are produced claimed to be thinner than the 'cling film'. The circuit production is also low cost. This findings, reported in the journal Nature last week.

In the report, scientists explained that they use direct fabrication on ultra-thin foil polymer materials, electronic circuits and ultra mild flexible in accordance with the dynamic environment. In addition it, scientists also rely on organic transistors with 'gate oxide dielectric' ultra dense with a thickness of a few nanometers.

Japanese tech site, DigInfo TV is broadcast video showing the ultra-thin circuit that is working on a prototype touch sensor. "A new flexible touch sensor (innovation) the thinnest, mildest. I am sure this development will open various new applications, ranging from health monitoring systems, medical equipment and even skin robots in the future," explains the researcher.

This is a monster ducati actually

Ducati Monster 900

MILAN - For someone of builder, build a motorcycle is a job very fun as well as challenging. How not, he must to build a motorcycle with a different design and in accordance with the idea of ​​"eccentric" that exist in his mind.

It was as reflected in the modified arable Simone Conti in building a Ducati Monster 900. He designs stretcher 100 percent different with the Ducati Monster. Even the results obtained actually resembles the figure of the monster.

Tubular frame during this become the characteristic of Monster replaced with aluminum material that is used as raw material of airframe and carbon fiber. Bloated tank factory default also evicted and replaced with the form of a little "strange" that have sharp corners. While the seat is made of foam models of single seater with very thin.

Engine not experiencing changed, however from exhaust gas channel replaced to adjust appearance to the extreme. In sector of the legs, the Monster adopting alerts Ohlins suspension on the front and rear. While the front wheels using Carrozeria alerts and Marchesini at the rear wheels.

Thanks to his madness, this motorcycle get the title Best in Show in the event Custom Italian Motorcycle Show in Shampionship 2013.

200 Thousand of malicious software appear every day

Apparently a lot of companies in the world who does not know exactly how many new malicious programs which appears every day and just 6% who know exactly how large the amount. This was revealed from a survey of Global Corporate IT Security Risks 2013 conducted by research agency B2B International and Kaspersky Lab from March to June this year.

According to Kaspersky Lab, every day around the world appears about 200 thousand new malware samples. When respondents were requested to mention the number of malware per day according to their estimates, 90% of those mention under the number of 200 thousand, 4% mentioned the number above 200 thousand and only 6% who mention the numbers with true.

Respondents were most aware will the malware are respondents from the Middle East where 24% of respondents there said the number of malware per day with true. While most low, with a value of 4%, of respondents from Russia.

In other regions, including North and South America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific, said the number of respondents who correctly malware per day ranged between 5% - 7%.

Interestingly, this survey also reveal that about 66% of companies have been experiencing malware attacks at least once in the last year. Companies most often become targeted malware attacks there are companies located in South America (72%), Russia (71%), North America (70%), Asia Pacific (668%), and Western Europe (63%).

It is not directly describe their low level of knowledge about how the large number of malicious programs that appear every day.

The company's ability to know with the exact number of malware per day is not an indicator of their readiness to face cyber attacks. However it must be recognized that the company has better information regarding this is certainly more ready to assess the risks and take appropriate actions to protect their IT infrastructure.

5 Charger most unique in the world

Mobile phone charger during this is synonymous with black colored objects with wires cascade. But now there are a number of unique charger with interesting shapes, which could be an alternative option. Here are 5 unique charger, such as:

1. Kawaii Bear iPod Charger

With a price of $ 21.75, charger made ​​in this Japan has interesting shapes such as bears pink colored supine.

2. Solar Charger Bra

Produced by the manufacturer of underwear, Triumph International Japang Ltd, this chargers utilize solar energy that will be processed for your mobile phone.

The interesting thing is this charger will only function if bra used by the user and off at the time is not used. Apparently, charger bra this is suitable for use at the time of sunbathing on the beach.

3. Toasty Charger

This charger is very easy to used. Designed by Hyun-A Ko, this type is used with insert the iPod into it, and if already full will be out on his own it is such as similar to toast.

4. Charger Rubik's Cube

Now you can play Rubik's cube for hours and get a new energy source for the player or iPod. When you play Rubik's cube, save energy from your activities and store it in internal lithium ion battery her. From the picture above, you can see where the position its USB port.

5. Solar Charger Tree

Save it this charger out of the room and it will store energy from the sun automatically. This tree has 54 mini solar panels every his panel can be adjusted. With this charger, you do not need to be confused, at the time of all energy died.

New innovations, tattoo of monitoring the sweat for athletes

Tattoos that can monitor the sweat

CALIFORNIA - The team of researchers from the University of California-San Diego in the United States (U.S.) is now middle exploring a new type of tattoo that can monitor the amount of sweat a person. This contemporary tattoo has a sensor on the surface of the skin it is functioning as a detector of sweat.

In the journal Analytical Chemistry, the researchers explain that thin strip-shaped tattoo that is can track the balance of chemical constituents. They argued this tool is very suitable for athletes to measure the extent to which of their physical activity.

Sweat production not be separated from a person's body fluid lactate. As for the lactate is itself a chemical compound that is produced from the working muscles.

Increasingly many the body produces lactate, then increasingly swift the grains of sweat they produce. Technological innovation in this tattoo is very ideal used for athletes, because it can help them in monitoring the health of its metabolism.

Currently, lactate levels in a person's body is still measured through blood samples. It is believed to be less efficient, because not infrequently the athletes required for break during a few hours before taken the blood sample it.

Tattoos tech is planned will commercialized by an independent company, Electrozyme in order that the general public can use it.
