new technology

These days new technology are being developed day by day and all they help us to make our life easier, simpler and more reliable.

 battery kept on Sand of beach makes it  long last 

Beach sand, on the left, and purified sand in the middle. The right image shows vials of the former two, and a third made up of nano-silicon used to make the battery.

Sink your toes into this: 

In accordance  to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports lithium-ion batteries can be  make  form beach sand that last three times longer than current models.

Zachary Favors says it  is the holy grail: non-toxic, environmentally friendly  a low-cost, way to produce high performance lithium-ion battery anodes, a graduate student at UC Riverside.

It was introduced when he realized the material was made up of a high percentage of quartz, or silicon dioxide. Which is  the negative side, or anode, of lithium-ion batteries are made with graphite. Silicon has been eyed as a replacement material, which can store about 10 times more energy,but difficult to produce in large quantities and  it even degrades quickly

As it is found that a reservoir of sand with an even higher fraction of quartz, in Texas, Favors processed it in the lab, as described by Gizmag

The researchers have filed patents for the technology, and used it to produce a coin-sized lithium ion battery. This technology could bring the change it the durability of the present battery  that last for a day on a change could work for more than three days.

Let's hope this technology turns out to be as exciting as it sounds.
