Online social media have gained a permanent place in both the Dutch consumers and businesses. This is evident today by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) published figures. The institute’s social media use over the past three years mapped out.

According to the CBS in 2012 was 65 percent of the Dutch active on social media or network (including Twitter). The following year it rose slightly to 69 percent, to come out this year at 81 percent. Adoption rates in the industry lags behind, according to the survey. In 2012 it was found only 35 percent of companies (with more than ten employees) in the Netherlands on a social network. That percentage rose to 46 in 2013 and the end of 2014 stood at 53. Also, when it comes to blogs (both regular blogs and Twitter posts), the Dutch business is relatively conservative. In the year 2014 used only 32 percent of the companies is a (micro) blog as a communication with the audience. Nevertheless, Dutch companies play a leading role in Europe, as noted CBS. Ireland is the number one when it comes to the use of social networks by industry (58 percent), but the Netherlands is in second place with 53 percent. Norway occupied the third place with 51 percent. At the bottom of the list are Germany (31 percent), Italy (29 percent) and Poland (18 percent).

According to the CBS researchers, social networks also become extraordinarily popular among over-45s: in 2012, half of this age group active on such sites, two years later, that percentage had risen to 92 percent. The youth (aged 12 to 25 years) are almost all active in social networks. The CBS report is free available on the website of the institute.

“Samsung plant more smartphones running Tizen ‘- Telegraaf.nl

Samsung plans to launch this year more smartphones with the own operating system Tizen. This was reported by Reuters based on an anonymous source

.

The South Korean company would have several Tizen handsets in different price ranges in the planning. A spokesman declined to comment on the message.

In January, the first smartphone with Tizen, the Z1, launched in India and shortly thereafter in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The budget device, which fetches about 75 euros, since then was a million times over Indian counters.

Tizen is also the operating system in smart watches and televisions from Samsung. To expand and attract developers from the number of users, however, according to analysts, more smartphones that need to run on Tizen

Scientists: car of the future rides on bacteria – De Gelderlander

A research team from New York’s Columbia University has a model car ride on bacteria spores that react to water vapor. The tracks take the wheel in motion and drives a car to.

Ozgur Sahin, principal investigator, the egg of Columbus believes to have found. He is convinced that the technique with which his team did drive a model car, can be used to build generators that can generate as much energy as wind turbines. The researchers emphasize that seventy percent of the earth’s surface consists of water. Sahin: ,, Evaporation is everywhere, and the process is more powerful than wind and water (eds.) ”. The technique could also prove his service in robotics and smart sportswear.

Humidity
last year Sahin found that when bacterial spores shrink and swell depending on the humidity, they objects may move. The team designed a mill wheel -the Moisture Mill- with an open (humid air) and dense (dry air) half. Pieces of tape with bacterial spores and a weight on the end of tasks.

Because the tracks responsive to the humidity, the wheel starts moving. The scientists concluded the spinning wheel as a motor to a toy, making this pure locomotion evaporation. Sahin predicts that cars in the future no fuel or electricity needed, but only power by bacteria spores vapor.

Scaling
Professor Jaap den Bearer of the Technische Eindhoven University tempers expectations: ,, It will take years before the technique can be used on a large scale ”

Jaap den Bearer does in Eindhoven also research into artificial muscles (artificial muscles).. An artificial muscle is a structure that behaves like a human muscle: contraction and relaxation. The artificial muscle is made of material that responds to a stimulus from the environment, such as, for example, light, air humidity, temperature or acidity. The material can be anything: polymers, liquid crystal, metal.

The Bearer calls the research exciting because they have created an artificial muscle of biological material. But he does not believe in the promises of the researchers. ,, To generate energy must be able to perform labor. ” Labor is physically determined by multiplying power and movement together. ,, They have the muscle or in motion, but if you want to generate energy must also be able to exercise power, ” he explains. He suspects that there’s a whole bunch ‘muscle fibers’ for need to supply enough power and that is the problem, according to him the boot.

Kids
Research into artificial muscles is as The Bearer still in its infancy, but the future looks promising. Companies such as DSM and Philips monitor the investigation, according to him closely.

In the next ten years may be expected, according to the professor ‘smart’ solar panels, which automatically towards the sun. He also sees potential for medical applications, such as a drug capsule which breaks open under the influence of the acidity of the stomach, for example, to bring the drug in the right place.

Samsung claims doubling phone battery – NU.nl

That the scientists report in a study published in Nature .

Lithium-ion batteries have a negative and positive part, with energy when using negative flows to the positive side. At current storage batteries negative side is often made of graphite.

However, Samsung has made of silicon negative electrode. That increased the capacity of batteries of the same size 1.8 times compared to regular batteries.

Silicon is more often used in the manufacture of batteries, but was unsuitable up to now, because the service life was short by rapid decrease of the capacity. Samsung knows that can be prevented by layers of graphene to grow on the silicon.

Experiment

Nevertheless, there is still a question of decrease in capacity over time. Where the capacity of the battery in new form 1.8 times higher than regular lithium-ion batteries, was that after 200 charge and discharge declined to 1.5 times the capacity.

The lifetime of current lithium-ion batteries is around one thousand charging cycles, the capacity after the first 300 cycles starts to decline.

Samsung’s technology is still in experimental phase. Probably it will therefore be years before the batteries with increased capacity available in the practice
