The international CES is one of the biggest event for electronics and technology showcase of the year. Each year technology fans and addicts look forward to this event which tends to showcase the upcoming technologies and concepts which may come to light later that year. This year’s Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2014, which is scheduled for 7-10th January, should not be any different. This event should chosen by many companies to debut and display their innovativeness that should dominate our attention over the coming months. In addition, the event will also give space to statements of appliances and inventions that will help us to have a more accurate view of what the coming years are holding for the world of technology.
10 Air-Craft With Absolutely Peculiar Design Structure That Came To Fly
When you think of airplanes, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Those huge structures that serve to transport people from one side of a planet to another side, as the incredible jets that only the billionaires can afford to buy and keep in the garage or perhaps the old war planes that went down in history? However, beyond the conventional ones, there are also experimental models, whose are so strange in structural concept that you would never thought they maybe able to even get off the ground. So, get ready to be surprised with a list of peculiar aircraft that although very strange in design and other, but has been able to fly - even for just a measly meters or minutes - at some point in their existence:

HAPIfork Brings An electronic fork that Monitors Eating Habit Helping You To Lose Weight [CES 2013]
It is not difficult to find inventions that aims to improve our daily lives which, at first glance, does not seem to make much sense. The HAPIfork, a fork electronics that monitors the way you eat, it's just one of these creations, which was unveiled during CES 2013. The HAPIfork is a set of cutlery (forks and spoons) that monitors your eating procedure. Through sensors on the body of the fork, you can follow if you eat too fast, which experts say is one of those responsible for weight gain. Even if the sensors realize that you're taking the fork to your mouth frequently in a short period, the object vibrates, telling you that you should slow down.


UK Scientists Are Developing Optical Fiber 2000 Times Faster Than Current Aiming For Home [News]
A team of researchers from the University of Bangor, Wales, discovered a new method for developing optical fiber which makes the transmission of data 2000 times faster than currently available services. The technology uses the Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OOFDM) system.Moreover, the big news is the accessibility, since the goal is this new fiber will be commercially available to the general public, such as homes and businesses. However, the project is not the first to get success with the method. Last year, a team of the University of Sydney, Australia, had discovered a way to transfer data via optical fiber at a distance of 50 km, at speeds of up to 26 Tbps (terabits per second).


Scientists Create System That Uses Friction To Recharge Cell Phone Batteries [News]
Researchers at Georgia Tech University (United States) have created another innovative system for recharging smartphone batteries. Based on studies of static electricity, they created a device capable of storing electrical energy generated from friction between plastic and metal materials - nanoscale surfaces contribute to a better use. The friction causes the electrons to wiggle and get the load required for the desired features - is something like what happens when air balloons are electrified by friction with the hair. About 50 common materials could be used to create the charging system, but so far only 15% of the mechanical energy can be converted.


Chemists Create Polymer Capable Of Increasing The Capacity Of HDDs [News]
A research team made up of chemists and engineers at the University of Texas has developed a new polymer which is able to increase the capacity of hard drives as we know them. The substance, known as block copolymer, can block the magnetic fields generated by points that store the data presented in a storage unit. As a result, it is possible to decrease the space between each of these points, which results in increasing the overall density of information carried by a device without them being corrupted. So far, the process was able to double the available storage space on a hard drive, but this should change soon.


Researchers Found Nanomaterial Polyurethane May Be Able To Stop Bullets [News]
Researchers at Rice University announced the development of a complex nanomaterial polyurethane which is able to stop bullets fired by lower gauges firearm, such as the 9 mm pistols. It’s speed of repair is so quick that, even before a shot can pass through the material, substance ensures the seal, making it impossible for the bullet to fully penetrate the structure. The research team, which also includes a team of MIT’s Institute for Soldier that with the invention it is possible to create vests stronger and lighter for the police. Likewise, the technology could also be used in armored vehicles.


Samsung Will Unveil New Chipset With 8 Cores In 2013 [News]
