  • Foldable Moto Razr 2019 Leaked Images Show Packaging

    Foldable Moto Razr 2019 Leaked Images Show Packaging

    The Moto Razr has been one of the most iconic mobile phones of the connected era. The touch screen smartphone paved the way for a candy bar only design, leaving other form factors far behind. 

    2019 is an interesting year as it has shown off a newer possibility for a display design, the foldable display smartphone. This new foldable display technology was first publicly launched by Samsung, followed swiftly by Huawei and many others.

    This makes it the idea time for Motorola to show off their Foldable Moto Razr concept. The device will be based on a foldable plastic OLED panel that will allow the brand to retain the clamshell design of the original phone. 

    The device will also be packed with the Snapdragon 855 chipset along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 

    The new leaked image also shows off the packaging of the phone and the display notch on the top of the screen. You can also partially see the hinge mechanism.

    The image is not very high resolution and could possibly be a good quality render. However if Motorola is indeed working on a foldable Razr phone, this is pretty close to what it should look like. 

    The patent filings of the device are very close to the image now leaked. But it is still unclear if Motorola will proceed with launch after the recent issues with the Galaxy Fold.

    Motorola will ideally add another screen on the front of the clamshell fold, which may be used for notifications or front facing selfies. However, the first generation Moto Razr may only have the one Foldable display, reserving the secondary display for the redesign in 2020. 

     

     

  • These Micro Robots Could Revolutionize Targeted Drug Delivery

    These Micro Robots Could Revolutionize Targeted Drug Delivery

    Medical advancements are occurring side-by-side with the progress in science and technology. Recently, using 3D printers, scientists developed a self-healing rubber material, which can be used in objects to make them last a lifetime. In other news, a fully-functioning heart was also printed using a 3D printer. All these achievements make one wonder about the limits of medical science, and for the right reasons, since MIT engineers have engineered tiny micro robots that can help nanoparticles reach unaccessible targets in the human body and administer the necessary drugs. 

    Challenges Faced

    One of the biggest challenges while delivering drugs via nanoparticles is the exit strategy of the robots, implying that the micro robots can escape the blood vessels and accumulate in the desired spot for removal from the human body. Sangeeta Bhatia, a senior author of the aforementioned study states that it is tough to get the nanomaterials to the tissue in the lining of the blood vessel, but the use of magnetism to develop fluid forces, the nanoparticles can be pushed through the lining. The same study further states that swarms of naturally magnetic bacteria (Magnetotactic bacteria) can be also used to achieve the same result.

    Schurele, the assistant professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology previously worked on magnetic microbots, and consequently she aimed towards making the nanoparticle drug delivery technique more efficient when she started working with Sangeeta Bhatia. The researchers used their micro robots to target diseased sites in the human body which were usually a host of tumours. Since they faced issues with the same, the team explored their options with magnetic bacteria to devise a method to push the particles to the target in a better way.

    About The Nano Robots

    Regarding the involved micro robots, they are 35 hundredths of a millimeter long, which can be compared to the size of a single cell. The robot has a helix that is similar to the flagella, which empowers the movement mechanism of bacteria. For magnetic functionality, the nano robots are first printed with a high resolution 3D printer and then coated with Nickel. Simulations were then performed with these tiny robots, where the nanoparticles can travel in a system that mimics blood vessels (50 to 200 microns wide).

    The research was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Branco Weiss Fellowship, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. If this is applied in real life, administering drugs directly to affected tissues and tumours would become infinitely easier. Scientists are already working on a system where the nano robots can travel without the need for any visual feedback, and can be controlled externally as well.  

  • Camera Bump Of Upcoming iPhone XI Is More Complicated Than It Looks

    Camera Bump Of Upcoming iPhone XI Is More Complicated Than It Looks

    Apple is expected to launch its latest flagship smartphones in the month of September this year. The upcoming devices are allegedly called the iPhone XI (Eleven) and iPhone XI Max which will succeed the iPhone XS (Ten S) and XS Max from yesteryear. The smartphones were previously reported to feature triple cameras sensors at the back and a recent leak originating from a reliable leakster vouched for the same.

    The aforementioned leak is detailed enough to reveal the layout of both the smartphones from angles. In the latest development to the leak, the source states that the previous leak is mostly correct except for one minor difference. The upcoming iPhone models will have a raised rear camera bump which will be the same colour as the body of the device. Noteworthy, the glass covering the camera bump is transparent but its get the colour from the body panel underneath it. The leakster claims it is sort of hard to explain the subtle difference but illustrations shared by him clarify the case.

Called the Galaxy Fit-e, the band is a very basic fitness tracker that is available at a very low cost as compared to similar products by the company. However the fitness band contains no “smartwatch features”, and was recently spotted on an Albanian Website.

    As per reports, the Samsung Galaxy Fit-e was previously supposed to be launched on May 21 in the United States, hence the fitness tracking suddenly appearing on Samsung’s Albanian website is probably a mistake. Moreover, the fact that the buying links on the website are not functioning at all gives a confirmation of sorts that this page may not be intended after all. 

    Features And Specifications

    Nonetheless, the listed specifications of the Galaxy Fit-e informs that the fitness band runs on the FreeRTOS operating system. It features a monochrome PMOLED display panel, which is expected out of an aggressively priced fitness band. It sports Bluetooth v5.0, and packs a 70 mAh battery which enables the Fit-e to last an entire week, the company claims. It measures at 40.2 x 16 mm and weighs 15 grams.

    Xiaomi To Launch A Smartphone With Snapdragon 730 SoC Soon

    Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 665, 730 and 730G smartphone SoCs earlier this month. The new processors promise a faster CPU and gaming performance with a balanced efficiency. While the only device announced until now with one of the above chipsets is the Samsung Galaxy A80, recent reports claim that may change in the near future. In a Tweet, a senior Xiaomi executive has hinted a smartphone from the company with the Snapdragon 730 SoC may launch soon.

    Xiaomi Smartphone With Snapdragon 730

    Previous leaks have affirmed the presence of a Xiaomi smartphone with the Snapdragon 730 SoC. Among other details mentioned in the leak is the presence of a triple camera module, with a 48MP sensor as the primary camera. Apart from this, the image shows a second 8MP camera which may an ultra-wide sensor; and a third 13MP camera, which probably uses a telephoto lens. The image leaked in the past depicted a smartphone with a pop-up camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microphone. This indicates that the Redmi smartphone will have a notch-less display.

    The Snapdragon 730 processor was launched by Qualcomm on April 9, 2019, and comprises of an octa-core Kryo 470 CPU, which is clocked at 2.2 GHz; and uses the Adreno 618 GPU for graphics. Another notable aspect of the previous leak is the presence of a 4000 mAh battery in the device. The chipset has support for Quick Charge 4+ technology, which implies that the Redmi smartphone is likely to support fast charging. Since Xiaomi has confirmed the device it insinuates that it will be launched soon. Unfortunately, the company has not revealed any details about the launch date or the pricing of the handset. Although, as the company is known to price its products aggressively; the aforementioned smartphone may be priced around Rs. 20,000 price range in India.

  • Self Healing Sneakers May Soon Become a Reality

    Self Healing Sneakers May Soon Become a Reality

    Technology isn’t limited to electronic devices anymore. Gone are the times when any advancements in technology were directly correlated to mobile devices, computers and televisions. Since the first 3D printer was developed in the mid 1980s, implications of the same have seen no limit. Recently, a fully-functioning heart was produced with the help of a 3D printer, which opened the path to many more organs that can be replicated with the help of the same. As per recent reports, a professor at the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering formulated 3D printable rubber, that can “fix” itself.

    Qiming Wang, three of his students and a professor from the University of Connecticut were able to achieve the aforementioned feat via a kind of rubber developed from silicone. As per their statement, a self-healing rubber sole for a sneaker may soon be a reality. Not only sneakers, in fact, the material can be used to 3D print objects like toys and tires. What’s more, even parts of satellites can be developed from the same material for improved resilience. 

    Healing Mechanism 

    When the rubber material is exposed to a source of heat, a chemical reaction occurs that enables the atoms of the material to fuse back together. The healing speed is directly proportional to the amount of heat provided to the material, the report states. However, the healing process can occur at room temperature too. It will just take more time. 

    The report further states that the first step towards developing a self-healing object is to structure a model of the same in the computer. The software “slices” the 3D model into 100 smaller images, which are then projected onto a thin rubber layer (in liquid form). The rubber morphs into the shape of the original image, which is then converted to solid form using the projected light. Following a similar method, the complete shape is built up layer by layer, until the object is developed.

    Concerns And Future Implications

    Because of the concern that some structural issues may arise during the testing and development of such objects, Qiming Wang states that his team will experiment with multiple hardness levels in order to make the rubber sole wearable in all conditions. Furthermore, they will also experiment with ragged edges and their healing process, so that the material may regain its original shape and not be affected by any wounds and punctures. Already, Wang and his team have been contacted by multiple footwear companies to use the material for their upcoming shoes. Wang believes that self-healing sneakers will make their way into stores in 2-3 years, and the same material will someday be used for creating Airplane wings as well.
