It's a well-known fact that snoring is dangerous to life. Moreover, it is a real disaster for family members to live with a person who snores. My struggle with snoring was to the death. At first I tried the following exercise: it is necessary to pronounce the letter "E" with an effort 30 times a day. I began to follow the instruction but then I either forgot about it for a few days or had a sore throat. Then my wife found a popular remedy for snoring: "Take a fresh cabbage leaf...

Why not use sunlight and ethanol to create hydrogen at ambient temperature and pressure? This could make production less expensive while delivering higher yields. The process will involve mixing a powdered form of a photocatalyst and ethanol in a container and then agitating the substances while they are exposed to ultraviolet light. A semiconductor inside the container will generate electrons, which will be captured by gold nanoparticles in the catalyst and react with the alcohol...

Inspired by the troubles in Japan, I suggest creating a new cooking pot able to harness the heat from a pot of boiling water to charge a smartphone. Thermo-electric cookpot will use strips of thermoelectric ceramics to use the difference in temperature between the bottom of the pot and the boiling water to generate electricity. The device could be helpful in aiding disaster victims as well as giving citizens of developing countries a way to charge their devices in areas with...

Just one more incredible way to charge your phone... Why not develop a shirt that can convert sound waves into electricity to charge mobile devices. The shirt will use a flat microphone panel of piezoelectric film to absorb the high decibels. The leads from the shirt will be interchangeable so that to be used with a variety of smartphones, and the water sensitive components will be removable to allow the shirt to be washed in conventional washing machines.

The idea is to create a glucose sensor for diabetes sufferers which will use tear fluid instead of blood. This may soon eliminate the need for finger pricks. The device will be able to take a sample of tear fluid by a painless dab at the corner of the eye. The device's sensor will measure the amount of glucose in the tear sample which is supposed to be very similar to the amount of glucose in blood. Image: A - screen-printed electrical leads, B - an insulating layer, C - a...

A new line of avalanche airbag integrated clothing will make protection as easy as putting on a vest. The vest will use a nitrogen based airbag system that will be deployed by the wearer to release a pair of brightly colored bags. The bags will increase the wearer's surface area to help reduce sinking as well as will act a visual signs for rescuers. The vest will also include an array of pockets able to secure other gear, allowing the vest to replace a full backpack.

I've just found out that there is a material, made out of graphite, as thin as a sheet of paper and 10 times stronger than a sheet of steel. The graphene paper is created by milling and purifying raw graphite in a chemical bath, which changes its structure and allows it to be pressed into sheets. The thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of the sheets allow them to have a wide range of applications in many industries, such as automotive and aviation, with the added...

Many people die of cancer because the case is diagnosed when it is too late. I'm sure that more people would catch their cancer early if they could test at home. A cancer test can be similar to a pregnancy test or a blood sugar test.
