Red bricks turned to Supercapacitors

Image
  When we think of futuristic technology, we think of flying cars, hoverboards and sometimes overlook on technology that is possible and scientists and researchers are working on that now, one of such technology is energy storing bricks. Red bricks are the oldest, cheapest, and the most familiar materials used in construction, and they rarely have another use than in construction. Also, our walls of bricks hold up a larger space which cannot be used in other purposes so to use that space more effectively, we can convert that wall into unit of electrical storage. This research was done from Washington University in St. Louis. Energy storing bricks for stationary PEDOT supercapacitors | Nature Communications D’Arcy and his colleagues, including Washington University graduate student  Hongmin  Wang, showed how to convert red bricks into a type of energy storage device called a  supercapacitor . Red fired brick has been found suitable for the same because it is porous,...

Cyber-Security 2.0

  Do visit the {fundamental of cyber security Blog} and read it before continuing. WHY IS CYBER SECURITY SO IMPORTANT?   Our reliance on the internet has grown tremendously. And that gives enough opportunities for fraudsters to target you with your money or other important information if you are not careful.   What is cyber security and why is it important? According to the report, up to 2019, Cyber-crimes have been operating at $ 2 trillion. And if research is to be believed, this could go up to $ 6 trillion if the need for Cyber-security is not realized. Understanding is not enough. It is important to take appropriate action against cyber-crime.   Why is Cyber-security important to companies? Larger organizations with more employees are at greater risk of attack. This is for two reasons. First, because data is so important and secondly even if one employee does not follow the security process the whole organization gets into trouble.   If you think ...
