Windows 10 and The Return Of The Start Menu.

Windows 10 Preview with a familiar start menu.

Though Microsoft has not yet informed us of the release dates for Windows 10 the preview is out and registered users can download the .ISO for preview. They have been indications though that the OS might be out by July this year.
A  test drive however has the following observation.
"Its what Windows 8 should have been" i exclaimed after the Preview Installation and went to observe some new features such as:

Project Spartan

 The latest build of Windows 10 gives us a taste of Project Spartan. Spartan is the browser that will replace the venerable internet explorer. A peek was made early this year. One of the key strength of Spartan is the tolerance to let you capture and share notes on web pages.

Cortana and Hello

Microsoft's virtual assistant Cortana has made her way to the desktop in a slew of countries around the world. And there's still more to come. Windows Hello, for example, will bring biometric authentication to the operating system, letting you scan your face, finger or iris in lieu of typing a password.

Free Upgrades
This is it! Not exactly coming in as manna, but is manna if you know Microsoft. Windows 10 is shaping up to be the best version of Windows yet -- a huge leap over Windows 8, which had a troubled reception. And upgrades to Windows 10 will be free for a year, for folks who are currently running Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8. There's no word on pricing after that (or for folks still running Windows XP), but if Microsoft has its way, we will have all made the switch by then anyway.

Return Of The Start Menu

The Tiles have been moved to Start Menu. A click on Windows Logo at the far right of the Start Menu or pressing the Windows Logo on the keyboard yields the familiar start menu of that every Windows user knows

Graphene And The Future | Materials For Tomorrow

Through a study of discrete and continuous quantum graphs, in the recent years, an interest has emerged to produce a possible directions of the various research projects by the pioneering Universities. Key interest in the study is;

Transport properties of networks and their complexity. Several projects and research are underway to see how the application of graphene and its manipulation can change the industry standard materials to more efficient robust and effective materials.

What is Graphene?
Its the versatile two dimensional carbon allotrope. Whats amazing about graphene is its properties.

• Its the Lightest
• Its the Strongest with
• Heat and electricity conductivity (than any material known on Earth)

that can easily be integrated into current materials for various applications with future open door to combine it with 2D crystals for more wider amazing compounds.

In The Beginning.
"Graphene’s popularity began when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 for discovering the material". Wrote Pablo G. Bejerano | 6 September 2013 at 19:03 at BlogThinkbig. "However, their work had been published years earlier, in October 2004. Since that time, and later when they won the prestigious award that brought fame to the new material, companies and research centers have improved their knowledge of it and their manufacturing techniques."

Graphene Application and Uses.

#Bionic engineering.
High quality headphones, efficient sports tools like a tennis racquet, absoletion of batteries, the list is quite incredible.

#A Download World with Upscale Uploads.

Mega-fast uploads. A mention of a whole terabit in just one second. Wireless uploads of big files take for-ev-er. But researchers at Georgia Tech University have plans for an antenna made of crazy thin graphene that would let you transfer a whole terabit of data in just one second.

#Mobile Devices with optoelectronics engineered
Graphene is an almost completely transparent material and is able to optically transmit up to 97.7% of light. This means its application is all over in optoelectronics; liquid crystal displays ( LCD), touchscreens for smartphones, tablets and laptops

#Energy Storage.
What's the use of the hybrid cars when you quickly run out and have to spend long precious hours recharging? Any battery can potentially hold a lot of energy, but it can take a long time to charge. A capacitor, on the other hand, comparatively speaking can be charged quite quickly, but can't hold that much energy. The solution is to develop energy storage components such as either a supercapacitor or a battery that is able to provide both of these positive characteristics without compromise. Currently scientist are working on incorporating graphene as an anode in batteries. When successful?

Plug your home devices, Tablets, phones just for five seconds and the unit would be charged.

#Cleaner Environment- Ultrafiltration.

Graphene could potentially clump together radioactive waste, making disposal a mere breeze.

Water Desalination Illustration

MIT Water Desalination | We show that nanometer-scale pores in single-layer freestanding graphene can effectively filter NaCl salt from water. This means water almost everywhere.

Plus graphene is stronger and less brittle than aluminium oxide (currently used in sub-100nm filtration-applications). Here graphene can be shown to potentially clump together radioactive waste, making disposal so easy.

#Composite Material.
Graphene is strong, stiff and very light. A good application to employe in the manufacture of vehicles and aerospace. Manufacturers will easily incorporate it into the carbon fibre material. Its preferential because its stronger while much lighter. Military and defense geniuses can, If not already, use these characteristics;

high strength requirement applications such as body armour for personnel and vehicles.

Of course all these applications are only in the initial and it would take a while, but manufacturers have to figure out production (apparently Spain is a country to look to for Graphene production as confirmed by ICEX. Overally   its so interesting to see a promising future.
