WATER COULD BE THE KEY FACTOR OF CREATING A BATTERY

By

Water could be the key factor of producing a cheaper and environment friendly Lithium ion battery in future. This lithium ion battery is less dangerous and safer then using other battery. These lithium ion batteries are now used in different
modern gadget.
These rechargeable lithium batteries are typically found in mobiles such as cell phone, laptop computer, tablet etc. Even this battery is less expensive.  

"The application of lithium ion battery in electric vehicles is hindered by their high cost," researcher Jianlin Li, a materials scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, told TechNewsDaily. "For example, the cost of the lithium-ion batteries in the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Colt is about $500 per kilowatt-hour, which is almost five times of the target cost — $110 per kilowatt-hour — of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery set by the president's EV Everywhere Grand Challenge."

All battery produces electricity by electric current between two electrodes -a positively charged cathode and a negatively charged anode. Without using NMP, the scientist said that they will replace it with a method which operates water and this is safer. Li stated -“While it seems quite straightforward to substitute expensive and toxic NMP with water in battery manufacturing, it is very complicated and requires extensive knowledge in science and engineering to realize it,"

Scientists have used different way to utilized water. “No one has been successful with both anodes and cathodes," Li claimed. Utilizing this method the researcher has developed the battery which is comparable in regards of excellence with other conventional battery. Li told that "the whole process is much more environmentally benign,” and “This allows the battery manufacturing more sustainable and affordable."

This battery is yet to come in the market but will soon be released in the market with a revolution.

The Dragon Blood Tree

By
The Socotra Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia, is the place where the Dragon Blood tree grows. For a number of reasons, the Dragon Blood tree is unusual. Its trunk is bare but its branches generally remain at the top and ending in sharp spiky leaves. The Dragon Blood tree is belonging to the monocotyledons. The dicotyledons and the Dragon Blood trees are from the same category. The tree also reveals an unusual interior and exterior both from where once pierced bright red sap oozes out. Those bright red saps are called the blood of the Dragon Blood tree which is dried and then it is used as a medicine or a dye. While the neighbors of Socotra still use it as a panacea, the sap is mostly used as a red varnish for violins in west.

GAUHATI HIGH COURT DECLARES CBI ILLEGAL

By
Gauhati High Court declares India’s premier investigation agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation(C.B.I), as unconstitutional on 6th November, 2013.  But honorable Supreme Court stays the order on Gauhati High Court’s declaration of entitling C.B.I as unconstitutional on Saturday which gave some relief to the CBI & Central Government both. UPA Govt. has already filed a case challenging GC's declaration. C.B.I was created by a home ministry resolution on 1st April, 1963 and it functions under Delhi Special Police Establishment Act (DSPE) 1946.   “The judgment is patently wrong. It should be set aside. We are certainly going to challenge it and the appeal is likely to be filled in the SC” said additional solicitor general PP Malhotra (source-HINDUSTAN TIME). The petition was filed by Attorney General Golam E Vahanvati on behalf of the Govt. of India seeking urgent hearing over the petition. The hearing was conducted at the residence of the Chief Justice of India.  T...

The Mysterious Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko

By
The Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko is a mysterious creature. These kinds of creatures are generally found in Madagascar Island. The generic name of this creature is Uroplatus which is taken from two Latin words “oura” meaning “tail” and “platys” meaning “flat”. This species was first discovered by George Albert Boulenger in 1888. It is very small in size. Its full size with tail is about 2.6 to 6 inches. The leaf like structure is generally seen in ebenaui complex. It has spines on head, body and trunk. This species can change their color according to the circumstances. Even they can change their color during the sexual time. Their color helps them to remain in disguise. This kind of creature has no eyelid but a transparent cover over their eyes. So they use long, mobile tongues to remove the dust from their eyes. The Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko normally remains in the rainy forest. This kind of creature comes out at night to feed insects. Their scales and long curved claws help them to tra...
