Instant Glass—anybody wants a coating?
It’s revolutionary, and at you need to do is just spray them on. In no time at all, you will have a 100 nanometer thick sheeting of glass material which is not only clear looking, but it is flexible as well. Another thing, it is also breathable. Even more useful, it can be sprayed on any surface and sticking t it as well. Made by a German firm by the name of Nanopool GmbH, this liquid glass is made using a patented process. You can now cover anything with it and it is reputed to last for a few years. To clean it, just spray with water. No detergent required. It has been used on plants and insects will have to find a new source of food in the future. Just fantastic, to say the least! How will your life be affected by it?

The ultimate energy storage compound
Scientist have been chasing after ways to store energy. We have alternate energy generating devices but we have not found an efficient way to store those energy. Just for an example of the problem, wind turbines along the British coast have been asked to shut down their machine because the energy grid is not connected. We also have problems with solar and hydroelectric generators which are capable of generating electricity. We just don't have the means to store them for later use. Now, scientist at MIT have discovered a material that not only store energy for an indefinite period, but also able to convert energy from light. They have found a unique material called azobenzene-functionalized carbon nanotube molecules that does the job of energy conversion and storing it without being degraded after a few cycle of usage. Further more, the stored energy can be released in the form of heat just by triggering it with a catalyst substance or a heating element. The advantage of thermo-chemical storage in general is that the chemicals can be stored for long periods, without experiencing any energy loss. The MIT team is lead by associate professor Jeffrey Grossman. Further research is being carried out to find a cheaper path to the production of the compound.
