Scientists have warned that lithium-ion batteries can potentially emit over 100 poisonous gases which could take our lives.
A new study has found out that lithium ion batteries can expel off noxious gases that can harm our health and could even be fatal.
The research was conducted by scientists and researchers from Institute of NBC Defence in the United States of America and Tsinghua University in China mentioned. They said that many people don’t know about the consequences of overcharging.
In the present time, lithium-ion batteries power many electronics, ranging from smartphones to electric cars. These batteries power almost two billion new devices each year. So, it is necessary for us to know about the effects and risks associated with the batteries.
During their research, the scientists heated up nearly 20,000 lithium-ion batteries to the point “you would expect if the battery overheats or is damaged in some way”. This resulted in the production of up to 100 harmful gases including the deadly Carbon Monoxide. Some of those gases have the potential to cause irritation to eyes, skin and nasal passages while some have the potential to kill people.
Dr. Jie Sun, lead author and professor at the Institute of NBC Defence, said, “such dangerous substances, in particular carbon monoxide, have the potential to cause serious harm within a short period of time if they leak inside a small, sealed environment, such as the interior of a car or an airplane compartment.”
“We hope this research will allow the lithium-ion battery industry to continue to expand and develop with a greater understanding of the potential hazards and ways to combat these issues”, Dr. Sun added.
This research has shown another dark side of the ‘viable energy solution’ – lithium-ion batteries. These batteries not only give off noxious gases but are also prone to catching fire and exploding. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the perfect example of this. So, to overcome all this, researchers need to come up with techniques for ensuring the safety in using lithium-ion batteries before something goes terribly wrong.
Have your ever thought of getting a tattoo in your body? I think, at some point, everybody has. You must seriously consider and have a plan before getting inked. You need to do some preparation before you walk into the shop. Below I have listed some of the best-known apps and websites to help you before getting inked.
Check these apps and sites before getting tattoo in your body:
You’ve picked the tattoo you want, but you aren’t quite sure where it will look best. Should you get it on your bicep or your forearm? Why not check out a quick preview of how it will look with InkHunter. This is one of the coolest examples of augmented reality on smartphones. All you have to do is draw a little box where you’re thinking of getting the tattoo. Pick the tattoo design on the app, and point your phone’s camera at the box. Like magic, the box will disappear and you’ll see your tattoo design there, superimposed on your skin to perfection. Move the phone around to see exactly what it looks like from different angles.
If you are a regular Reddit user, then you have probably heard about this sub-reddit. Reddit has a community of tattoo enthusiasts who are proud to show off their skin art. But the r/tattoos sub-reddit isn’t just good to get inspired by designs.
Tattly calls itself a temporary tattoo store. You choose a design from their vast collection. The tattoo gallery at Tattly is designed by professional artists. You can look and choose from the design and get inked by your local artist.
Tattoos Hurt tries to be as honest as possible in helping you decide whether you want a tattoo or not. It’ll tell you about all the pitfalls you can expect, from how to prep your body for it to post-procedure aftercare. It also has a helpful Tattoo Pain Scale chart, which tells you which body part is going to hurt the most. This is the kind of reality check that will make you want to just add a tattoo to your picture in Photoshop instead.
It’s also one of the few sites to talk about tattoo removal and the aftercare needed for it. Tattoos Hurt’s no-nonsense approach is a welcome change from the hyperbole-spouting, over-enthusiastic sites you’ll usually find on the web.
The site stores over 100,000 tattoo designs, neatly arranged by categories: animal, astronomy, ethnic, for men, for women, gambling, horror, insects, marine life, miscellaneous, mythology, patronage, plant life, religious & spiritual, reptiles & amphibians, specific body parts, tattoo styles, and zodiac. Browse or search to find the tattoo that you like the most. Then head over to the download page and print it out or get it on your phone so your tattoo artist can print it into a stencil.
“My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.”- Johnny Depp
In some cases above websites and apps asks for money but they are not expensive either considering this is a permanent image on your skin. But you can always check other websites for Free Tattoo Design like:-
You can go through the entire catalog and see the smaller images to get ideas from this website. The photos of tattoos sent in by community members are free to view. This will also give you some excellent ideas on getting your own tattoo.
If you are tired of your old wallpaper, then it’s time to change it. Google recently launched its Pixel phones with Wallpapers app to have a fresh look. Now guess what- Wallpapers app is available for all Android devices.
Choose and change wallpapers from Wallpapers app as often as you like, so your phone always represents your style.
This is the same app that is included in the Pixel and Pixel XL and offers the facility to easily switch and set wallpapers without going to different setting screens. You have a lot of categories to choose from like Earth, Landscapes, Life, Textures etc. The app has got a bunch of high-quality wallpapers including Google Earth satellite images just for your precious phone to look alive and fresh. Also, this app offers a function to switch your wallpaper every day according to your choice if you like it.
Although the application is available to download for any Android device, the ability to change the wallpaper for both the lock screen and home screen is only available on devices running Android v7.0 Nougat. I think this is the only con of this app. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it.
If you want to try out Wallpapers app by Google then you are more than welcome to click here.

There has been a long rumor that Apple is preparing to launch an updated MacBook Pro model this year. And the company just confirmed for an event on October 27 where everybody is expecting to see new MacBook Pro.
If we go with the rumors, then there is something to get excited of. The upcoming MacBook Pro is said to have a thinner and lighter form factor, wider pressure-sensitive trackpad, and of course a flatter keyboard than the earlier model. And the MacBook Pro will be available in the same 13 and 15-inch size options.

One of the interesting thing out of these rumors is an OLED touch panel called Dynamic Function Row. This replaces the physical function keys at the top of the keyboard with a touchscreen OLED strip that allows keys to be dynamic to match applications.
Also, Apple is said to be including USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports on the new MacBook Pro as it is ditching traditional USB ports and the company’s MagSafe charging connector. This might surprise potential MacBook Pro owners.
Every Apple fans are looking forward to see product announcement for a new iMac, MacBook Air with MacBook Pro and the event will likely to be held at Apple’s Cupertino Campus on October 27 at 10 AM PDT (10:45 PM Nepali Standard Time).
Google Material Design Award is back! Since last year, Google has started to give out awards for the best-designed material apps on based on categories which follow different aspects of Material Design. We absolutely love the concept of material design, it is simple, colorful and playful, all to keep our attention intact in whatever we’re using. Material Design was first introduced by Google back in 2014 and since then a lot of changes has been made to it, but not a lot of apps have implemented it. Not only the apps, material designs can be implemented on websites and logo. Such awards motivate developers to improve the UI of the app for better user experience.
designs come to life when it’s used to create meaningful experiences
The first award is for the Brand Infusion, which was honored to Asana: Team Tasks & Projects. “An app built on making teams more productive and collaborative needs to be visually focused and clear to keep users concentrated on getting work done.” Asana is beautifully designed which is minimal and doesn’t look overwhelming like most of the team project apps. Instead of flat material colors, the app uses gradients which make it look truly unique. Don’t let its minimal design question its functionality, it comes with a bunch of useful features which are neatly arranged and easy to reach.
Fabulous- Motivate Me! has been awarded the Charming Engagement award. The moment you open the app, you are greeted with beautifully designed illustrations, walkthrough, and a creative user interface. There are plenty of habit coach apps out there but the Fabulous simply stands out as one of the most inspiring and easy to use. The UI sucks you in into the app with its amazing visual illustrations, making you stick to the habit you’re about to form making you fabulous!
“When it comes to designing an app’s navigation, more content usually means more problems. Search often becomes a primary mode of exploration, reducing the user’s exposure to items they might otherwise be interested in, if they’d only known they existed. C Channel organizes content into a series of tabs that can be traversed easily with a simple swipe. This engaging, gestural journey through the product continues even when videos are playing, allowing users to advance seamlessly between clips with a vertical fling. ” -Google
The award for Expressive Layout goes to Kitchen Stories. “Kitchen Stories excels at creating effective, easy-to-scan layouts for recipes across a variety of screens and sizes.” The UI of the app is minimal and straight forward, it shows you the ingredients you’d need for the recipe with images, the list of things and so on. The font on this app is really plain and minimal making it easy to view and overall looks good.
And the final Google Material Design Award goes to Airbnb for Focused Efficiency. “Essential tasks are satisfied through precise design, routing users clearly and briskly from sign in, to browsing, to booking a reservation. By neatly segmenting larger goals into smaller steps, Airbnb is able to sidestep the appearance of complexity, making the overall experience feel comfortable.”
The only problem with this site is it’s in French but you can always look at the design and take it to your local artist and get inked.
