Plastic roads! the best way to recycle plastic

Overview:

      Since the invention of plastics, earth has been polluted to extents beyond recognition. Plastics have amalgamated with our daily lives so much so that we need them in every nook and corner of our day to day activities. So, what makes plastics so widely usable? First of all, they are highly cheap and can be manufactured easily; one of their main property is that they are waterproof which makes it desirable in almost all fields. But on the other hand, when they pile up as a waste, they make up for a deadly waste that doesn't decompose for thousands of years. This makes plastics formidable considering the disasters it can inflict upon earth, for example: soil pollution, water pollution, air pollution when they are burnt, contaminating the wild life habitat and many more.

 

      Thus, one of the ways to get rid of the ill effects from plastics is to recycle them; India is the 7th largest country in the world and what better way to use recycled plastics other than constructing roads in India! Yes! the plastic roads have slowly made their debut in India and is gaining popularity at snail's pace. In this blog, I'll be writing about the plastic roads, how are they implemented and its pros and cons.

Infrared Plastic Solar Cells??!! power in your hands

Overview

      Have you ever wondered how it would be if you could harness power out of literally any surface?! Yes, we can now cover any surface with solar cells and turn any mass into a power source. The Infrared plastic solar cells, also called as the organic solar cells have made it possible with the infusion of nanotechnology. 

In this post, I'll be writing about Infrared plastic solar cells; its working and its applications while trying not to get in to intricate technical details 😉. But before getting into IR plastic solar cells, we need to know how does a normal solar cell work (because they all work on similar principle).

Fast charging, We are in the future!

Overview

        We all remember those days when we got our first mobile phone; it seemed like it took forever to charge. With the mobile platform developing at a meteoric rate, its hardware and applications tend to drain a lot of power from the batteries. One solution to this would be to increase battery capacity but then again, everything has a limit; it would need lot more time to charge and in addition to that, the phone would become bulky. Thus one of the solution that came up is to increase the speed of charging and voila! we witnessed the dawn of fast charging. In this post I would like to discuss on the working of fast charging, myths surrounding it and its applications.

Artificial Intelligence!

Overview

    There has been a number of movies on robots with their own intelligence taking over mankind and then a protagonist saving the world at the end of the day.

What is an AI??

     Before defining an AI, first and foremost thing to clarify is that, No! an AI or a robot doesn't necessarily mean a humanoid which looks like humans; they can be anything from small drones, kids' toys to smart homes and huge machines. Now, keeping aside textbook definitions; an Artificial Intelligence is the one that's possessed and exhibited by man made machines in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. In layman's terms, any man made innovations ranging from mobiles/computers/watches to homes/vehicles/weapons can be impregnated with AI.
