Don’t think anymore about the phasers on stun, as two new laser guns could soon be seen in the hands of the US cops and military. These new laser guns are not lethal and they would just emit green laser which can blind the people for some time, they would be workable from a distance of nearly one and a half mile.

This new laser gun is quite similar to a small light saber that has a 15cm straight design and it can prevent from seeing nearly about 100m to a target. The gun has been powered with a lithium-ion battery and it can be adjusted accordingly for a smaller or larger dazer Zone that is believed to make people blind temporarily, as well as it can create motion sickness.

Israeli firm SolarEdge is going to introduce some new electronics that will prove quite effective to put out different defects and in-efficiencies from the solar panels and make them a lot more product and efficient.

The firm is going to provide the details of this new plan in Intersolar 2009 conference in Munich. The company has also announced that German solar installer Gehrlicher is going to offer the new products of the SolarEdge.

The company has been putting tremendous efforts to address different problems that are common in solar power systems including production of electricity, partial shading and converting direct current. The company was founded in 06 and since than it has raised nearly $35m.

A new dawn in the energy sector is surfacing to the world after a research team from the universities of St Andrews, Strathclyde and Newcastle announced that it had made a major breakthrough in the production of a novel battery. Known as the STAIR battery or St Andrews Air battery in full, the battery will use air to produce energy. To be precise, the process of producing energy involves; absorption of oxygen from the air which is then reacted with a form of porous carbon to produce an electric charge that is then conveyed to the ends.

On Monday the Hubble space telescope was roaring at the regions of central Florida.  Its orbit was set 350 miles high which had the ability of streaking at 5 miles through space.  But it has been assumed that the Atlantis will take the total time of two days to reach to the destined observatory in order to make the desired repairs.  Atlantis wheeled fast with an angle towards the eastern region at the Atlantic Ocean.  A long trail of smoke was left behind it when it was rocketed through cloudy skies.  The launching of this telescope was perfect and it set a nice picture to capture.  There were many commanders present at the control board.  Spacewalkers like John Grunsfeld, Michael Massimino, Andrew Feustel and Michael Good were also present with these commanders.

Scientists have been trying to find some new ways to know identify terrorists, and now European Union scientists have succeeded to develop a method of brain scanning that may prove quite effective to catch terrorists.
This method is based on Greece Humabio projects and these scans will be used to check the certain brain patterns of the people when they will pass through them.

The sort of scanning will be done at sensitive locations like borders, airports and they will also help to catch those with forged documents, however, it’s unknown, how long it would take to get such scans.

Scientists have been waiting for the next solar cycle for quite some time, and now it appears that this wait is about to come to an end, as a new spot has just emerged on the sun.

These sorts of spots are also known as solar flares and they appear after the cycle of 11 year and last time when scientists marked it, they found it minimum. However, from the beginning of this year, an unusual quietness has been noticed on the sun. But a change it this quietness was observed yesterday after the appearance of a big spot on sun’s backside and it was captured by the STEREO instrument of NASA.
