Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have the U.S. energy department has found a source of electrical energy from the virus.

Scientists from Berkeley Lab has found a way to exploit the virus organism to produce electrical energy for charging gadgets.

These researchers say that they have managed to engineer a virus to create electricity in response to mechanical stress.

In an experiment conducted by scientists, they are coated electrodes for the size of a postage stamp to the virus and then generate electricity which is tapped by the scientists via surface electrodes.

For the current design, the first product using the piezoelectric properties of biological materials and energy generating enough electricity to turn on a small LCD.

In the future these products will be designed to be integrated in the shoe, apparel or moving objects such as wheels and doors common to produce more energy and can be used to recharge the battery gadget anywhere.

              “Further research is needed, but our first job is to develop personal power, actuators for use in nanoscale devices and other devices based on electronic virus,” said Seung-Wuk Lee, a scientist at Berkeley Lab.

The initial results of this study was published on May 13 and through online media journal Nature Nanotechnology.

This research is quite clear and has only reached a very early stage, but create electrical energy from kinetic energy is the most popular research topic today.

As quoted from TomsHardware, this study also showed that the virus is not always harmful to human health.

Mozilla’s popular web, Firefox will reportedly have a new feature called HomeTab on the release of Mozilla Firefox 13.

As quoted from TomsHardware, Mozilla Firefox will launch its own 13 on the 5th of June.

HomeTab is a new feature of the applications contained in the initial pages of the new browser. Actually, this feature has been developed since the release of Firefox 5, but it was delayed several times.

The addition of this feature HomeTab is a big change in the UI (User Interface) or the appearance of the browser since the release of Firefox 4.

Since Firefox release schedule adopted quickly as Google Chrome, many users are not so happy. Because the release browser update so soon but no significant changes are visible.

Users so often to update the Firefox browser to the latest version without seeing any significant change, however this is not the case for the release of Firefox 13 on 5 June.

13 Firefox releases later, the design is somewhat different from previous designs that follow the concept of Firefox Google Chrome with its sliding page. Firefox will gather information on one page, which is in HomeTab.

Actually the name is a bit odd HomeTab, because HomeTab itself is not a tab, but more similar to the embedded application in the browser.

HomeTab later will contain important information such as the most frequently visited pages and link to your bookmarks, history, add-ons to the downloads.

HomeTab also provides a search bar that allows users to access the search engines. HomeTab also provides information about frequently used applications and displays a list of important contacts.

1000 bar codes will be in the form of placards and labels that are attached to the wall of a selected object.

Wikipedia Town project itself is called a project that has been done Monmouthpedia for six months.

Residents and owners of the selected object has come part of this project by helping to write the article in accordance with the bar codes in their respective locations.

Thus when you visit the city one of the Welsh and meet at the corner of the bar codes can scan it with the city-owned smartphones.

Then you will obtain information relating to sites and objects and their locations directly from your smartphone screen. Information provided relating to 1000 bar codes Wikipedia Town has supported 26 languages​​.
