Hearing aids graphene are better than conventional

Graphene, a material just wonderful. Graphene is a material like no other due to a combination of factors: it is extremely hard, very light and its layers are usually very thin. Its use is included in integrated circuits, solar cells and ultracapacitors. Graphene is composed of pure carbon atoms and which are arranged such that recreate regular hexagonal shapes. According to Nokia, graphene is 300 times stronger than steel.

Thanks to its aforementioned properties, researchers Qin Zhou and Alex Zettl of the University of California have found that this material is ideal for use in headphones.

Best headphones diaphragms are those that are light and thin so that air can circulate well and produce vibrations which generate sound. In fact, the thinner the diaphragm, the better the sound quality. The problem with most materials is that they greatly reduce its thickness to become very brittle, but this does not happen to graphene.

The researchers created a 30nm-thick diaphragm and 5mm in diameter, tested it and said the results were excellent, giving a better performance than conventional headphones even.

Hopefully these new creations are offered for sale soon.

Having a powerful smartphone is not all, propaganda is also important, and indeed the South Korean firm spent more than $ 400 million on ads in 2012. Some of the many business from Samsung, as we know, were derision towards Apple and their loyal fans who are able to stand in line for days to buy the latest addition to the apple.

Maybe Android 4.0 has more than one year on the market, but still the differences with the current version are remarkable.

However, the S IV has been well received and sales ravage insurance market as happened with the S III.

Design and performance of the Galaxy S IV

Compared with his younger brother, the S III, S IV is slightly larger because its screen is 5 inches. It has an extremely thin bezel is one of the lightest smartphones to date. It is also quite slim, although the market there are others who are even more so. The case, as can be expected, is made of polycarbonate.

In terms of performance, the smartphone is capable of running quickly assign any task, has hardly completed pressing the screen when the phone is running the action. This is not surprising, since devices Galaxy S line have always been very quick.

Galaxy S IV Functions

Samsung said the S IV would focus not so much on the hardware side, but more on what are the functions. One of the most remarkable things is that the device can surf the Internet without even touching it, which is possible thanks to Air View and Air Gesture.

-Air View allows us to operate the device screen does not even touch it, just enough to have our finger a few inches above it. This is a function similar to that used by the Note II with your stylus, the S Pen.

Gesture-Air allows us to interact with the S IV using all our power, for which we must move it from side to side. This is used, for example, to switch images in our photo gallery, to switch between browser tabs to change the song the music player of the phone and other similar tasks.

Both functions usually come disabled by default, but suffice to enable them to use them.
Two other striking features are known as Smart Smart Pause and Scroll.

Pause-Smart is able to detect if we are paying full attention to the smartphone. If for example we are watching a video and suddenly look in another direction, playback automatically pauses.

-Smart Scroll allows us to move up or down when you're viewing a website or reading a mail, all without even lay a finger on the screen. This is ideal for when you hold the phone in one hand and took a drink in the other, for example. Simply tilt the smartphone in the desired direction to move the page.

Indeed, the S IV is also responsible for keeping an eye on our health thanks to S Health. This software allows us to enter other data and records by itself. When we consult give us some details about our health, eating habits and so on. Nor do we expect a full medical report, it will be necessary to visit a real doctor.

And this is only part of what the new Galaxy has prepared for us. If you have the opportunity to buy it, do not hesitate when available during the second quarter of the year, ie approximately between April and June.
