Comparison of Biometric Sensors iPhone 5S & Galaxy S5

Apple iPhone 5S already has a first sensor fingerprint scanner for system security. Then a serious rival, Samsung, rival by presenting a biometric sensor on the Galaxy 5S. Which one is more powerful ?

A YouTube user named Tanner Marsh upload a video that compares the fingerprint sensor reliability between the iPhone 5S and Galaxy S5. In the video, it appears the use of fingerprint scanning on the iPhone 5S mobile sooner done than in the Galaxy S5.

Because of Samsung's fingerprint scanner requires users to sweep the screen first before putting the finger on the scanner in the home button.

If forced to put a finger directly on the home button, the scanning process tends to slip and fail. Moreover, to sweep the S5 Galaxy phone screen before almost cover the whole home button with a finger rather difficult if done with one hand.

However, this does not mean Apple have fingerprint scanner called Touch ID was perfect. Based on the number of users report some time ago, biometric scanner sensors of Apple 's often have problems. Such as failing to read fingerprints, to be restarted in order to return to normal. Similarly, as reported by Ubergizmo, Saturday ( 05/04/2014 ).

Bulan, Satelit Bumi Berusia 4,51 Miliar Tahun

Berapakah umur bulan saat ini? Pernahkah kalian bertanya-tanya? Apakah bulan lebih tua dari bumi atau lebih muda?

Ilmuwan mengungkap umur Bulan saat ini sekitar 4,51 miliar tahun. Usia satelit Bumi ini didapatkan berdasarkan jam geologis yang baru saja ditemukan teknik pengukuran waktunya.

Teori terbentuknya Bulan, menurut pemahaman para ilmuwan, terjadi pada saat ada benda luar angkasa sebesar Planet Mars menabrak Bumi dan kemudian hancur berkeping-keping. Dan Bulan adalah salah satu kepingan benda antariksa tersebut yang kemudian mengorbit di sekitar Bumi.

Waktu terjadinya tabrakan tersebut diperdebatkan antara 30 hingga 100 juta tahun setelah sistem tata surya terbentuk. Sistem tata surya sendiri terbentuk 4,6 miliar tahun yang lalu.

Sekarang ini, ilmuwan dari Amerika Serikat, Jerman, dan Prancis berkolaborasi hingga menemukan jam geologis yang bisa dipakai untuk ukuran waktu. Para peneliti menggunakan 259 simulasi komputer tentang berkembangnya Merkurius, Venus, Bumi, dan Mars. Dari perkembangan keempat planet itulah para ilmuwan mendapatkan jawaban dari teka-teki waktu terbentuknya Bulan.

Saat menganalisa, peneliti menemukan hubungan antara saat Bumi ditabrak dan jumlah material yang bertambah setelah kejadian. Hubungan ini, menurut para ilmuwan, tampak seperti jam hingga tanggal terjadinya pembentukan Bulan. Dan hal itu disebut sebagai jam geologis pertama dalam sejarah tata surya.

Dari ukuran geokimia ini, membuat penanggalan baru terbentuknya bulan yang berkisar 95 juta tahun setelah terjadinya sistem tata surya. Dengan kemungkinan kekeliruan 32 hingga 39 juta tahun.

Potato Battery Could Be Last for 3 Years

The sophistication of smart devices has not been matched by battery endurance. That's why, gadget companies were competing to make them long lasting battery devices.

Well, recent findings from researchers at Virginia Tech University may be a solution. They created a breakthrough by using bio-energy from natural sugar ingredients, rather than chemicals such as lithium batteries which are common in gadgets.

Batteries with this natural sugar energy sources the researchers claimed is ideal for use on mobile phones. In contrast to other bioenergy such as hydrogen and methanol, sugar material arguably more secure because it is non-explosive and flammable.

" It is logical when we try to ' harvest ' natural energy source that is environmentally friendly manner, for use in batteries. " said Professor Yang YH Percival, spokesman for the researchers, as quoted from Tech Radar , Thursday ( 01/23/2014 ) .

Interestingly, the source of energy is derived from natural starch in the daily diet, one potato. This starch is broken down gradually Zhang mentioned using enzyme cascade.

In this way, electrons with significant quality would appear to produce a flow of energy. Previously, there had been research on sources of energy from sugar. This latest breakthrough, Zhang and his team claimed could produce significant energy.

" The method can now store 10 times more energy than the energy source with basic materials chemistry. " said Zhang .
