Soon, wrap your smartphone on the wrist

Soon you may be able to use your smartphone on your wrist or bend your computer to fit in your pocket! Researchers have taken a step towards more flexible devices by fabricating a thin film that keeps her even when very curved electric and magnetic properties useful. Flexible electronics have been difficult to manufacture because many materials with useful electronic properties tend to be rigid. Researchers have addressed this problem by taking small pieces of material such as silicon and embedded in the flexible plastic. A team of physicists and engineers from South Korea took the same approach with bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) - one of the most promising materials whose properties can be controlled with a magnetic field, and vice versa. These materials are called multiferroic and attract interest for applications such as energy efficient, instant-on computing. The researchers synthesized bismuth ferrite nanoparticles and mixed in a polymer solution. The solution was dried i

New Apple iOS 8 Mobile Software to arrive on Wednesday

SAN FRANCISCO: New generation Applesoftware to feed their coveted mobile devices is scheduled for release on Wednesday, two days before the arrival of its latest iPhones. The iOS mobile operating system will be available free for download for iPad iPhone and many models and will be pre-installed on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which was released on Friday. Apple introduced iOS 8 at its annual developer conference in San Francisco in June. The new management software is designed to provide a seamless experience for users flitting between mobile devices and popular Apple Macintosh computers. Along with updates to the operating system, the California company unveiled the HealthKit software to manage personal and HomeKit health care for home appliances. They are integrated into the latest system update. HealthKit provide a safe haven for the data gathered by devices such as fitness band that tracks activity and sleep. Apple also synchronized HomeKit 8 to iOS software that
