This pocket scanner scans the molecular structure of objects, foods and medications and almost everything you can think of. It then gives the chemical data of that object through an app you install for that purpose. It does so by analyzing the wavelength of the light that is affected differently when reflected off of different types of molecules. It's a complex method of decoding optical signature of different types of molecules. You can pre order it for 250$. It will come out in late 2016.

Microsoft and Google agree to end all regulatory complaints against each other

Microsoft and Google have reached an agreement to end all regulatory complaints against each other around the world, and have agreed to work together to settle any future issues themselves before filing official complaints.

In a statement to Recode, Google and Microsoft said the companies should be competing on products instead of focusing on legal proceedings. "Our companies compete vigorously, but we want to do so on the merits of our products, not in legal proceedings." Google told Recode.

A representative for Microsoft echoed those sentiments. "Microsoft has agreed to withdraw its regulatory complaints against Google, reflecting our changing legal priorities," the representative said to Recode. "We will continue to focus on competing vigorously for business and for customers."

Self cleaning clothes-03-24-2016

So as you might know, we have already created and marketed water-proof clothing. The tech they use in it is nanotechnology 

But now those clothes can even remove food stains. The technique behind these self-cleaning textiles is quite interesting. Copper and silver-based nano structures are already famed for their ability in terms of absorption of light. When these nano structures are infused into the fabric and exposed to light, they subsequently break down the organic matter such as stains from food products that are present on the cloth, making it clean.

The team of scientists figured out that by treating fabric with certain solutions, these nanostructures were able to grow steadfastly onto the textile within a span of half an hour. Thereafter, as soon as they were exposed to light, energy is released and the varied organic compounds present on the fabric degrade and disappear. It was observed that the textile cleaned itself inexplicably within just 6 minutes.

No Man's Sky releasing on June 21st

No Man's Sky will become available for PlayStation 4 and PC on June 21 in North America, and on June 22 in Europe, priced at US$60 per unit. In addition to digital versions, physical releases will be available for consoles. The game will launch on June 24 in the UK priced at Pounds 50 for the PS4 version, and Pounds 40 for the PC.
