New touchscreen material to end daily smartphone charging

British scientists have invented a new type of touchscreen material that requires very little power to illuminate, with vivid colours and high visibility in direct sunlight.                               The team is already in talks with some big players in consumer electronics to see if their new material can replace current LCD touchscreens over the next few years, sciencealert.com reported.

Developed by Bodie Technologies, a University of Oxford spin-off company, the new technology could spare the consumers the pains of charging their smartphones daily.                 "We can create an entire new market. You have to charge smartwatches every night, which is slowing adoption. But if you had a smartwatch or smart glass that didn't need much power, you could recharge it just once a week," one of the researchers, Peiman Hosseini, was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.                                                                                                         Last year, the researchers published a paper describing how a rigid or flexible display can be formed from microscopic 'stacks' of a material called GST and electrode layers.                         Each stack is made of a single 7-nanometre-thick layer of GST inserted between two layers of a transparent electrode. This stack is fed a very low-energy electric current to produce colour images,The researchers claimed that their ultra-thin display material can produce vivid colour displays at very high resolution, even in bright, direct sunlight.              "This makes them potentially useful for 'smart' glasses, foldable screens, windshield displays, and even synthetic retinas that mimic the abilities of photoreceptor cells in the human eye," the team was quoted as saying

4G drama peaks, TRAI keeps COAI out of operator meeting

  The war between Reliance Industries and the telecom operators like Airtel and Vodafone shows no sign of abetting. Although on Friday a meeting was called by TRAI to end the standoff between the two parties -- started after Jio's entry into the Indian market -- it seemed to failed to resolve the issues, particularly after a representative from Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) was kept out it. The COAI representative Rajan Mathews, who has been voicing concerns on behalf of telcos like Airtel and Vodafone over the Reliance demand for flawless interconnection for calls made using Jio SIM card, was kept out of the meet.

Judge allows gender-bias case against Microsoft to proceed

A federal judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit alleging gender discrimination by Microsoft to proceed. US District Judge James Robart of Seattle in an order Friday denied the company's request to dismiss key claims by women in the suit. The Seattle Times reports the judge said three women suing Microsoft were specific enough in their claims. He also said they presented a plausible case that Microsoft's pay and promotion practices had the effect of treating female and male engineers differently. Microsoft says the performance review system was not arbitrary, and has denied the women's allegations of discrimination.The ruling sets into motion what could be months of wrangling over what documents Microsoft and the plaintiffs must turn over and the roster of outside experts both can ask to weigh in.
