HP Flexible Display Shown On Video
March 20, 2010
With the world being obsessed with super slim gadgets, it’s going to be great news to many folks to see that HP is able to show a flexible display on video. While the display itself is flexible, the company isn’t looking to create rollable displays with that technology, not to mention that the material would only be able to survive being rolled up about half a dozen times or so, but the technology can certainly be used to form displays thinner and lighter, and we certainly have no objection against that, do you? Check out a video on that after the jump.

New Lithium-sulfur Batteries From The Folks At Stanford
March 14, 2010
All the coolest gadgets in the market probably have a common problem – battery life. With plenty of external batteries being created to sustain your iPhone when used in an extended trip, it’s obvious that battery technology is lagging behind. whether the new lithium-sulfur technology developed by the folks at Stanford becomes mature, we might just have a solution to our battery woes. that new technology is apparently safer, and more importantly (actually safety is probably more important); it currently achieves 80 percent more capacity than lithium-ion batteries. The downside is that it’s still far from becoming a mass market product, as the charge cycles of just 40-50 times compared to the 300-500 times of lithium-ion batteries aren’t anything to shout about. Hopefully they manage to tweak it and we’ll see a significant boost in battery life in all our devices sooner rather than later.
