Imagine a utopian city where every building is equipped with windows and facades that meet all the energy requirement of the structure – in any weather condition. Seems farfetched? Not anymore. ‘Inkjet’ solar panels, poised to revolutionise green energy, is set to become a reality, thanks to Olga Malinkiewicz, a Polish physicist. This young businesswoman has developed a novel inkjet processing method for perovskites (a new generation of cheaper solar cells) that makes it possible to produce solar panels under lower temperatures, thus sharply reducing costs. Solar panels coated with the mineral are light, flexible, efficient, and inexpensive and come in varying hues and degrees of transparency. What is more, they can be easily fixed on almost any surface.
Mo – Expandable Speaker
POW Audio, the new portable audio brand that is reimagining speaker construction to deliver unparalleled sound quality, has opened pre-orders for Mo, the first expression in its family of expandable Bluetooth speakers. Mo uses POW Audio’s patented WaveBloom™ technology, which expands to create a passive radiator that supports the speaker’s high-quality drivers with an air-filled chamber. This added air results in better bass resonance, bigger volume, and improved overall sound quality, which cannot be achieved by a standard, tightly-packed speaker that lacks this expansive wave chamber. Mo will begin shipping to more than 240 countries by March 15, 2019.
Pocket Sky…A New Lifestyle
Pocket Sky, the newest portable blue-light wearable, uses the scientifically proven effect of blue-spectrum light and puts it in a small light-bow that can be used anytime, at any place. Pocket Sky requires no cables or blue tooth connection, and is the perfect travelling companion; it can be used for trips abroad, in the office, when doing sports or simply relaxing at home. It is based on the established premise that the use of light can reduce sleepiness and elevate the mood. Packed in a stylish case that resembles one of those smallest spectacle cases, all that you need to do when you seek a boost of energy because of tiredness, jet lag or Seasonal Affective Disorder, is to remove the light-bow from its case and wear it just like glasses, with the bow just above your eyes, shining a gentle blue glow into your eyes.
