Immersive Lighting that Watches Your TV Along With You
One of the coolest little tricks you can do to make your TV image look better is to add some bias lighting. That means your screen is backlit, usually with a gentle glow behind it, which makes colors pop more and makes blacks look deeper. It’s an old trick, but one that has some newer spins with smart lighting systems like the Nanoleaf 4D that match the color and movement of what’s happening on…
Photo rejuvenation is today’s modern take on improving our skin’s overall health and appearance. Also commonly referred to as IPL, this non-surgical treatment utilizes light-based energy in performing photo facials. Since photo rejuvenation is customizable, meeting your unique needs can be a piece of cake.
Stretchable, wearable device lights up an LED using only the warmth of skin
One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice. But what if in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself?
UW researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient—it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.
The team detailed these prototypes in a paper published Aug. 30 in Advanced Materials.
"I had this vision a long time ago," said senior author Mohammad Malakooti, UW assistant professor of mechanical engineering. "When you put this device on your skin, it uses your body heat to directly power an LED. As soon as you put the device on, the LED lights up. This wasn't possible before."
Television refers to a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens, primarily to broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and education.
History of Television
Early Concepts and Development:
1870s-1900s: The concept of transmitting images wirelessly dates back to the late 19th century. Paul Nipkow’s invention of the Nipkow disk in 1884 was an early…
thinking about the people in my poll who said in finnish, their native language, they say LED as a word and that word is ledi... I love that so so much, ledi... cute 10/10
