A POSITIVE SIDE OF EARTHQUAKE

Earthquakes can bring out Gold?

Earthquakes are disastrous. They bring destruction, take lives and destroy properties.

But some studies bring to light a different positive side of the earthquakes.

What is gold?

Gold is a dense, soft, shiny and flexible metal. It can be sold at a high price and is often used in jewellery.

Believe it or not, gold can be obtained during earthquakes!

Earthquakes may be harsh, deadly and not something anybody should experience. But some studies have shown a positive side of earthquakes.

During an earthquake, solid gold can rise to the surface of the earth almost immediately!

How is gold formed?

Gold is formed when the shaking from Earthquakes split open a hole filled with fluid.

Gold particles are transformed from a fluid to a solid almost immediately.

With Earthquakes happening over and over again, there will be a build-up of gold deposits.

Research shows that most gold comes from “quarts veins”, which were formed during as long as three billion years ago! “Quarts veins” are formed during earthquakes and contain gold in them.

The gold deposits are built up one thin layer at a time.

Forming 100,000kg (100tonne) of gold, would take less than 100,000 years!

BRAIN PAINTING:NO NEED TO HAND IT ONLY CREATIVITY RUNS

Brain painting: Make a painting just by thinking!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could just ‘think’ and create an artwork?

Nopes- it is not something out of the imagination of a movie director. Actually, an Australian firm ‘G-tec’, might have created a solution for this situation.

And it is not just ‘cool’- it is also very useful. Just think about patients of paralysis- who can’t move their hands or parts of body. What a beautiful difference this technology could make to their lives!

Paralysed patients can now create artworks just by using the power of their brains!

Paralysis is a condition when the patient suffering from it cannot control the movements of some body parts. Some paralysed patients cannot even move any part of their bodies. Horrible!

This scientific invention brings some hope for them, using which they can add some colour into their lives. Quite literally!

How does this work?
The user would wear a cap that measures brain activity. By focusing hard on a flashing icon on a screen, the cap can allow the user to “choose” what he or she wants the computer to do.

The artist can select various shapes and colours and straight lines using brainpower and build up a basic picture on the screen.

The idea came from an artist who had a friend paralysed in an accident, and who loved painting. The artist wanted to find a way to let the friend draw again.

The brain painting system costs $15,600, including the brainwave-reading cap, the computer software and the technology to understand the brain activity.

TELL YOUR DAD:3D PHONES AND TABLETS ARE COMING...

Look Man! No 3D Glasses!

Everybody loves watching 3D movies, having characters come to life right in front of you. But don’t you find the glasses a little uncomfortable at times? With this new technology, you can  see 3D on your mobile without needing those glasses! Yes Sir, we are talking about 3D phones and tablets.

US researchers claim to have made a display, which allows three-dimensional (3D) image to be viewed without special glasses. The display is made especially for cellphones, tablets and watches.

Now you can even see figures leaping out from the your screen in 3D!

This exciting creation uses a technology called Diffractive Optics.

Diffractive Optics allows 3D images to be seen from many different points of view and even if the device was tilted.
