Antibiotics of the future

This TEDTalks is about the microbes that live within us.

If you don't like microbes or don't think that they could be symbiotic organism living in us. Don't listen to this it could change your vision of our body.

But that was fun learning.

How our microbes make us who we are

The world of the very small is amazing. It's not something I like, but I can see the potential in the research Rob Knight and his team are doing.

Happy learning.

River Turbine

Here in Québec, most of our electricity comes from the hydro-electricity. Mostly from huge damn, like Manic-5.

But now the company idénergie has created a small river turbine that works with a low level of water.

They have some videos on YouTube. Some more funny then others.

This one looks like TV interview.

This a great idea, and it doesn't need a huge infrastructure.

Happy learning.

Wearable technology, getting better and better...

The wearable are the new portable device that doesn't look very good and are not market ready. Or mass market ready, but it's getting better and better.

With the Apple Watch presentation yesterday, the wearables are getting more and more on the top news.

But this is a true innovation in the wearable's world:
This energy-generating cloth could replace batteries in wearable devices

With those wearable batteries, or energy generating clothing, the battery life of our device could get better. Or the device could get smaller, since it doesn't need a big battery.

Energy-generating cloth could replace batteries in wearable devices

This is an amazing world to learn about, and progress are going very fast.

Happy learning.

The funny science of "What if"

Those "what if" are funny. But this guy is pushing it to the extreme. It becomes extremely funny.

I heared about him in an article a couple of years ago.

And now, I just watched this TedTalks: Comics that ask "what if?"

In the TedTalks he talks about this post Relativistic Baseball.

When I was a teen, I did like to do the same. But I gave up doing it, for I don't know why?
Ok, I didn't do it to this point.

So Randall Munroe has develop a good company, this is what I would like to do. I'm just trying to find a good project.

This is a way to learn, trying to figure out what could happen, does make your brain goes into hyperdrive.
Just like trying to figure out how Santa could manage to stop at every house in the world in 24 hours.

Randall Munroe has a couple of books now:



Happy learning.
