Estimated Samsung Galaxy F bill of materials shows why it will cost $1,800

Loknath Das

Korean agency CGS-CIMB Research has posted a report in which it estimates the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the foldable Galaxy F and compares it to a Galaxy S9+ and an iPhone XS Max. The priciest item is the display – or should we say “displays”. The Galaxy F will have one large 7.3” panel that folds down the middle along with an external 4.58” display. There will reportedly be two batteries as well, though that doesn’t add much to the cost (total capacity is expected to be around 5,000-6,000mAh)….

£1 Fuel Cell Creates Electricity From Urine

subhadip

A miniature fuel cell costing as little as a £1 can generate electricity from urine. The microbial fuel cell could be a lifeline for people in remote areas – creating a renewable and carbon-neutral way of generating power. The technology was developed by researchers at the University of Bath, Queen Mary University of London and the Bristol Bioenergy Centre. The fuel cells use natural biological processes to turn organic matter – like urine – into electricity. When urine passes through the microbial fuel cell, bacteria inside it generates electricity. This…

Consultants Advanced Construction Technology Services have recently announced testing materials to build the 3,280-feet (1 kilometer) skyscraper (the Burj Khalifa, by comparison, stands at…
