Two Chinese universities have created, according to the EFE agency, solar panels that
run with rain or fog, even at night time, the news was published in the official Chinese newspaper Diário do Povo.
According to Professor Tang Qunwei of the Oceanic University of China, the main responsible for the project: “The goal is to increase the efficiency of converting direct light until it returns to have more, generating enough energy in low light conditions such as rain, fog , Mist or at night. “
The team at Yunnan Pedagogical University, the project’s partner, the panels may represent a “photovoltaic revolution”, a principle used in all solar panels, but the difference of this project is the use of a league called LPP Long persistence), which stores energy during the day and is used to produce the photovoltaic effect at night, allowing it to continue charging the energy.
Of course, only light can be absorbed and transformed into energy, but LPP stores energy and unabsorbed light is close to infrared, according to Professor Tang: “allowing for continuous day and night power generation,” Revolution is evident.
The advances have already been published in scientific journals from the United States and Europe, which highlighted the fall in energy costs, as well as producing “clean”
First Impressions Moto G5

On March 7, Motorola officially launched its new Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus models 
in an event held in São Paulo Brazil, yesterday morning, the advertising spoke of design, performance and memory, but we must wait to see the reality;
The old Moto G models have always been competitive in price, and in cost x quality they ended up beating the competitors to the Brazilian’s pocket, now starting by packing the model from the charger to the headset the first impression is very good.
Although the announcement is about the “aluminum finish”, the Moto G5 is almost all plastic body; it is possible to notice a small metal plate on the back, removable to give access to the battery compartments, SIM chips and the slot storage.
Among the optional colors: platinum, blue (safira) and black, stands out the novelty of the gold.
The Moto G5 has also decreased in size, now 144.3 in height by 73 mm in width, and 9.5 mm in thickness, which means that the new model is finer in the new models, and is lighter with only 145 grams.
But the big surprise is the technical features: 5-inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD resolution (1080×1920 pixels), giving a density of 441 ppi, with Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.2 with LE / A2DP and GPS / A-GPS / Glonass / Beidu for location.
With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset with eight cores and maximum clock rate at 1.4 GHz, Adreno 505 GPU, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage space, which can be expanded via microSD card up to 128 GB, comes to Market competition.
The price is rotating around 900 to 1,000 reals (around U$ 300) for the common model, while the plus is around 1500 reais (around U$ 650).
IoT and upcoming future prospects

The IoT seen as a paradigm of a changing society may change, among many other 
things, cultural libraries and equipment allowing greater interaction with users and providing new services, some of which may come from applications in the clouds.
Most of the objects that surround us today will be in the network in one way or another, so that you can have complete information about each one of them, it will be necessary to use repository in clouds, information sharing and data reliability.
Among the technologies for identifying objects are radio frequency identification (RFID) and sensor networks that will grow to meet this new challenge, what will be the new information and communication systems that will be present, although invisible to the user, Which will have an environment around us.
This will result in the generation of huge amounts of data that must be collected, stored, processed and presented transparently, efficiently and with intuitive interpretation by the users, ie simplicity and efficiency summarizing.
This means that model will consist of these services will become commodities as products and should be delivered in a similar way to traditional commodities.
Cloud computing should provide the virtual infrastructure for such utilitarian computing that integrates monitoring devices, storage devices and should behave both analysis tools whose foundations are found in Information Science, as visualization and delivery platforms to the customers, whose foundations are Both in Information Architecture and in Information design, this being to express beauty and help in the intuitive environment.
The model needs to consider the cost that Cloud computing offers, that is, the service must be end-user accessible to users and businesses to access on-demand applications from anywhere without the user’s chatting.
Intelligent connectivity with existing networks and computing able to use context to handle network resources will be an indispensable part of IoT.
An internet that in addition to current applications including sensors and actuators connecting the physical world should emerge consolidating IoT.
IoT’s progress is only beginning, but the period of mistrust has passed.
The Next Step to Cognitive Intelligence

We are approaching a century of computing, if we think that Kurt Gödel’s
paradox about a thinking “system” began what Alan Turing and Claude Shannon would talk about in secret Bell Laboratory projects during World War II, read The Information: a History, a theory and a flood of James Gleick, to understand what was done, until the first computer was created in valves.
Then we develop increasingly complex programs, and we can simulate genome sequencing, weather forecasting, sharing data around the world, but the most interesting pieces for us humans, such as creating a poem, recognizing an image of painting or even reading a Book, explaining it so that systems still fall short.
Now concerned with security systems, machines advance our desires and individualities, they finally seem to challenge the developers: to create a cognitive security capable of going beyond the machines, and to continue to give us security to work with them.
For decades, computers have been trained to recognize viruses, malware and exploits, and we have tried to make these services more accurate, but it is not enough, machines seem to discover our desires and offer things to make us offers and throw us on even stronger consumption Than at the beginning of the cinema and radio era.
Now your attacks and find creative ways to break the defenses, so what systems need is the ability to detect the most subtle change of activity and analyze it with as much context as possible to distinguish and eliminate new threats?
IBM promises to move forward on these smarter, now called cognitive, segregations, Samsung also promises advanced programs in this area, with two key points:
– traditional security is unable to analyze and apply this view in the way that an analyst can. That’s why the most challenging security issues still require people to make good decisions about how to act and how to know if it’s not a false alarm.
– the second is to build a kind of “security instincts” and expertise in new defenses that analyze search reports, Web text, threat data, and other structured and unstructured security-relevant data – just as security professionals do on a daily basis – but on a scale never seen before.
This is the essence of cognitive security, be it the IBM video above.
Which technologies are emerging

There are several methods of analyzing market trends, stock exchanges
like Nasdaq and many of its analysts and brokers are one type, but one highly referenced is the so-called Gartner curve.
The consultants this Gartner or Hypocycle curve, not only targets trend analysis, but mainly: “The Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is unique to doing analysis among several sets of HypoCycles, this because it distills insights from more than 2,000 technologies in a concise set of emerging technologies and trends that will have the greatest impact on the strategic planning of certain organizations, “said Mike J. Walker, director of the consulting firm, as reported on the company’s website earlier this year.
According to the analysis of the Gartner Curve, a consulting firm for investors in the area, the virtual reality is the great emerging technology in the year 2016, augmented reality (see Pokemon) is still at the bottom of the can of the process of disillusionment.
Bilding 3D images in medical fields is aplication examples of virtual reality.
Curves between technologies that are considered criticals include 4D Printing, Brain-Computer Interface, Human Augmentation, Volumetric Displays, Affective Computing, Connected Home, Nanotube Electronics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality e Gesture Control Devices.

One of the applications most used by brazilians in the exchange of messages, is 
bringing changes.
It is common to err because of the broker or typos of WhatsApp, but now the application announces new 4 new features, according to the Brazilian portal Olhar Digital.
The goal is to make the application more functional and easier to edit texts, as well as the Gifs search for instant messaging, this is announced shortly.
Just choose a function to edit and modify the text and only at the end of the editing in a simple but not immediate way, send the text.
It will also be possible to delete the message, there will be a function of type “message revoked”, warning that it will not appear for the sent person or group.
A more sophisticated function, which will be very easy to use, will be the “Live Location Tracking”, which means search for user location, the feature can be activated for a certain time interval, for example, when you are reviewing Your contacts, or leave it enabled not recommended for users who get lost when there are many options.
The application is trying to get closer to the corporate world, there will also be an increase in the options of “emojis”, according to the portal consulted, users of the Android system can search for gifs in one of the main world directories of these emojis, which is in Giphy.
The growth of this application is verified worldwide, and in Brazil is already widely used by radios, TVs and newspapers, in addition to the uses people and groups, of course.
New yahoo says what came

After the July 2016 sale of Yahoo to the Verizon digital electronics industry for $ 4.8 
billion ($ 15 billion), now the first changes is announced, the most important is the departure of CEO Marissa Mayer, and the name that may be Altaba.
The move signaled the end of an era, as Yahoo, in addition to its services and billions of visitors per month, was responsible at the beginning of the Web for many people entering the network.
Now it is known that pieces of the new company Altaba, the name says a lot, will be in use by the mega-site sales Alibaba and the Japanese internet portal, so far called Yahoo Japan, but that could also be renamed.
With the departure of the CEO, the idea is to turn it into an investment site and a board of directors that will be reduced from 11 to 5 people, ensuring agility and good business.
The statements were not official, but since the data leak that occurred in December 2016, high around data of 1 billion users, that is, the largest in history, the cloud about the future of the company is undoing.
At this time and after a second leak the business almost backed down
This new investment model, that is, using websites and capturing resources in digital networks, can have an impact on the world market, even though governments go back to the previous model that was founded on companies having resources and jobs in the country itself.

The data is an IBM research, more than market share through the NASDAQ
stock exchange, where electronic and digital stocks are already glimpsed as if they were commodities (in fact, this special type of stock market is characterized by By bringing together high-tech companies in electronics, IT, telecommunications, biotechnology, etc.), it seems that Blockchain has come to stay.
According to a study by IBM, most Blockchain trading solutions are already being adopted by banks and financial institutions, it is likely that in three years it will exceed the 50% mark and can reach 65% of the business, which is a new business model of this sector.
The research is demarcated into two parts, revealing that 16% of the banks and 14% of the financial institutions that were part of the research guarantee that they intend to implement several Blockchain solution services on a large scale.
For banks, the survey showed that 65% expect to have solutions in 3 years, with a slightly slower adoption and cautious, and although they may have setbacks, the report pointed out that “These pathfinders are better positioned against the competition, which includes Companies that have been born disruptive, such as the Fintechs “, so this adoption of digital coins is practically inevitable.
The survey also pointed out that the number of adoption increases when we think of payments in retail (80%) and loan (79%), since digital platforms are available for these two types of financing.
The research points out that organizations expect that the benefits brought by
As for the public, since the barriers that prevent the fastest evolution of technology are the regulatory restrictions (56%), technological immaturity (54%) and return on investment (52%), despite the technological gap, numbers already give the majority .
Trends for 2017

While Gartner points out that desktops will start to disappear from the
marketplace if the companies of these monsters do not begin to reinvent themselves, ThoughtWorks has released a list of emerging technologies with highlights for the growth of concepts such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR / AR), processes Based platforms, and clouds service platforms (PaaS), producing a “microservice” architecture.
These micro-services are processes that run in virtual cloud environments as the primary environment for the development of digital “activism” that influences markets, according to ThoughtWorks’ Mike Mason: “we see an advance in the levels of abstraction” of what is considered “activism “, That is, not only political and social, but also economic and business.
Although the “Pokemon” phenomenon is restricted to entertainment, this concept should migrate to other application areas and should influence IT teams now mobilized for the development of Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Docker is already an example of success in this line, made to put solutions in clouds, that the market has called by the name of this metaphor “containers” (a possible translation for Docker).
Docker is an open source project that automates the deployment of applications within software containers, providing an additional layer of abstraction and virtualization automation at the operating system level.
Another solution in this line is the development of Natural Language, the expected years for learning solutions, this type of auxiliary solution the so-called Machine Learning, that is, services that lead to a rapid learning of processes using computers, in relationship a human/interactive machine.
Machine Learning is a method of data analysis that automates the development of analytical models using any algorithms that “learn” intelectively from data, this permit the learning by “machine”.

The University of Silicon Valley Silicon Valley known to be the hub of big 
companies as well as large enterprises, has a commercial university called Udacity, which is now coming to Brazil, promising a different training.
The focus of the company that uses online platform is to enable the competitive technology market, using partnership with major companies in the industry such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, some private universities promise that do not deliver, outdated courses with little professional platforms, most using commercial environments and some applications like Android or Apple.
Even in the United States, most recent graduates have few skills to work effectively in the area, while the open-source market runs, but with little training and investments in the area, depending on crowdsourcing.
Udacity, considered “the University of Silicon Valley”, it started operating in Brazil. The company offers a model of differentiated vocational training, with courses developed in partnership with major companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter etc. The focus of the institution with its online platform is to qualify for the competitive technology market.
According to a survey with US IT companies, only 10% of graduates in universities have practical skills to work in the area. To overcome this deficiency, the formation of Udacity.com is totally focused on the insertion of the professional in the labor market.
The focus is on training from scratch, with projects called “Nanodegrees”, students can create a portfolio with guidance from mentors and develop skills for Web developments or mobile, data analysis, Big Data, Machine-Learning, and other advanced developments.
