Stop Battery Saving Habits "Smartphone" like this

Most Android users during this thinking, clean up recent apps can help conserve smartphone batteries. If you do the same, you should immediately stop such habits. Why?

Recent apps is a list of applications that have been or are being used. This feature can be accessed via the menu button on your Android smartphone.

Most Android users assume that the application is entered into the list continues to work and drain the battery.

When in fact, apps in the recent apps are in the stop condition and stored in memory (cache) phones. The goal is that the application that were never opened before it could be loaded faster when reopened.

Therefore, deleting recent apps in Android phones will actually make the phone battery work harder and faster runs. Therefore, the system will re-open the application from scratch and require more power than restarting or accessing the stored memory.

Two ways to save battery

If you want to save battery Android, you should not use the delete method as above recent apps. There are two ways you can do Android phone owners, which is to reduce the notification and restrict data usage.

Tiny Batteries Can It Survive for One Week

Scientists develop nano-tech large-capacity battery. Sophisticated, super-sophisticated battery only takes seconds for a full charge. Remarkably, the user may last approximately one week.

The battery is the result of research from the University of Central Florida, USA. The researchers used a super capacitor to complete his research. Capacitor is an electrical component that is used as a place to store and release electrical energy source. The capacitor is able to work faster and longer than the battery bertagan in general.

The form is also more flexible. When viewed cell phone batteries available today, usually in size almost half of the phone body. But researchers from Florida that uses a capacitor that it is smaller than the size of the battery in general. Previous studies using 2-D nano material. But nothing that really get results.

Yeonwoong Jung, leader of the research, which is also a nanoscience, making the capacitor managed to become long-lasting battery power. The capacitor is made of millions of nano-sized material and the 2-D material in the form of cells or tissues. Then the 2-D nano will perform power transfer super fast. That makes the battery can be quickly filled.

Wi-Fi signal can be photographed, this appearance is

Want to see what such a Wi-Fi signal is it exactly? If so, a group of people at Newcastle University managed to photograph the appearance of Wi-Fi signals with photographic techniques.

Scientists Magic Nuclear Waste Batteries So Super

 The Ilumawan of the University of Bristol, England find methods of managing nuclear waste into an energy source. They were able to change the nuclear waste that can be used as a battery made of diamond.

Quoted from Sciencealert, Wednesday (30/11), they transform into diamonds radioactive gas that can be used as a battery. In fact, these artificial diamonds were able to equalize the electric power potential, while capable of providing energy resources for thousands of years into the future. "No part of the changes that must be changed, do not need emission, there should be no treatment is needed," said Tom Scott Geology from the University of Bristol, England.

Scott said, through the radioactive material inside a diamond, the team can change the problem of nuclear waste into a full battery power and can be used long-term for the source of clean nuclear energy. During this time, Tim Scott has shown an example of a diamond batteries use nickel isotopes are unstable from the radiation source 63 or nickel.

Nickel 63 have half the life span of 100 years means that these scientists have discovered 63 nickel-based batteries can be charged up to 100 years. However, scientists said there were other sources of energy the better they do, and this way one solution to resolve the nuclear imbah in England.
