Lasers to fight unfriendly weather conditions

Scientists have found an artificial way to create clouds with the help of infra red laser rays. This amazing new concept has been tested indoor in lab as well as outdoor in Berlin, Germany. This would bring in weather control under the hands of human being’s purview.
The whole operation functions by the striping of electrons by the laser beam that contributes to the formation of hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals turn sulfur and nitrogen dioxide into some basic water particles, just like how the present cloud creating methods make use of silver iodide to form the water molecule that in turn forms the clouds and generate rain.
This new cloud seeding concept does not comprise of the process of spreading the air with crystals through aero planes and rockets. Instead, the Swiss, French, and the German researchers made use of infra red lasers that could produce up to 220 millijoule pulses within a range of 60 femtoseconds, where one femtosecond is 1 millionth of the 1 billionth of a second. The power generated through this way is a huge amount that will equal to the power generated by one thousand power plants as found out by the Jerome Kasparian at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.
The extensive lab experiment created small clouds by laser firing inside water saturated air. Though the outdoor experiment in Germany did not create any visible clouds it considerably increased the water droplets size and density according to the LIDAR weather measurements.
This concept has gleaned a lot of criticism with regards to its efficiency. China has already successfully used the weather control for the purpose of Olympics and had also previously created snow storms to the Beijing residents many times using this concept. Russia has also used this weather control for its benefit.
The research is yet to attain its full form as the scientists are finding ways to turn the water droplets into rain.

According to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, the technology that automatically turns off cell phones in cars could become mandatory. Ray LaHood has promoted the campaign of distracted driving, which aims to make motorists aware of the dangers often caused by improper use of phones while driving.
LaHood proposals suggest the introduction of technologies mixing inside cars. There are some...

First computers in history were very very big machines with a very expensive costs. Today computers small and cheaper that everyone has one but their real potentiality didn't emerge until they were networked together. The same could happen with satellites, which are evolving in them dimension changing, from expensive to miniature, approachable platforms connected by their own internet in space....

After the improvement of technology, there have been discoveries in various fields. The term “Piezoelectric” is very common in today’s world. Yes, now it is possible to produce electricity from the piezoelectric effect. The same revolutionary concept is behind an artificial tree planted to produce electricity.
Process of converting the piezoelectric effect into electricity:
Synthetic...
