There is a mobile phone runs on Coca-Cola

The idea of designer Daizi Zheng

Daisy Zheng developed for Nokia mobile phone that runs on Coca-Cola! As strange as it may sound, it works, the battery generates electricity from carbohydrates (in this case sugar) contained in the Coca-Cola. Therefore, the phone will also work on any other water containing sugar.

The inventor says that in order to reduce pollution in the concept has been used instead of pure organic standard battery. Bio Battery is an environmentally friendly source of energy generate electricity from carbohydrates using enzymes as catalysts. In order to recharge your phone you just need a sweet water, and while your phone is charged it will produce the same water and oxygen. Bio battery has the potential to work up to three to four times longer than conventional lithium battery, being a cleaner.

Published the most detailed picture side of the Moon

In the Network published the most detailed picture to date the reverse side of the moon. The image was compiled from a variety of images obtained by the probe NASA's LRO.
Resolution is not a new image as possible - some areas of the lunar surface had previously been photographed in detail. But so far scientists have not been as detailed a picture the reverse side of the moon entirely. The individual photos were taken by a camera probe LRO Wide Angle Camera.

See photo in high resolution ... Because of the impact of tidal forces of the Earth to the Moon slowed the rotation of the Earth's satellite, and the period of the Moon around its axis is equal to the period of its revolution around the Earth. Accordingly, observers in the world is always only see one side of the satellite.
Side of the Moon was first photographed in 1959 by the Soviet automatic interplanetary station "Luna-3", and see it with my own eyes could members of the crew of the spaceship "Apollo 8," which flew over the satellite. Later in the course of observations of the Earth will turn away from the moon by orbiting probes, it was found that its landscape is markedly different from the other side of the landscape, which "looks" on the planet. In particular, on the other side there is little the so-called lunar seas - vast areas of flooded basaltic lava ejected during volcanic activity in the past.

Creatures of the deep: terrifying macro pictures of polychaetes or bristle worms

These tiny monsters may look like they are from another planet but they are in fact creatures from our deepest oceans.
Picture: CRASSOUS/SPL/BARCROFT

Known as Polychaetes (bristle worms), they survive intense sea pressures where sunlight never penetrates.

Since the 1970s, scientists have revised their ideas about the deep ocean floor.
Picture: CRASSOUS/SPL/BARCROFT

Instead of a barren wasteland, they have discovered diverse communities of creatures that live on and around hydrothermal vents.

Picture: CRASSOUS/SPL/BARCROFT

Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the seafloor, usually found around quake zones, volcanoes and the edges of tectonic plates.
Picture: CRASSOUS/SPL/BARCROFT

They release superheated water and a cocktail of chemicals that provide a home for creatures like the scale worms.

Scale worms crawl along the seafloor near a vent, using their vicious-looking teeth to munch on the bacteria and simple organisms that thrive in the hot water and chemical soup.

The vent community gets its energy from chemistry rather than photosynthesis, since no light reaches the depths.

This leads to some bizarre relationships: the scale worms are hosts to symbiotic bacteria that may be providing them with nutrients.
Picture: CRASSOUS/SPL/BARCROFT

Some scientists believe that the worms may rely on the bacteria to survive.

They may be monsters from the deep, but their ability to survive in the deep ocean makes scale worms fascinating to researchers like Daniel Desbruyeres, a senior researcher at Ifremer, France. "The deep sea realm is one of the most diverse habitats on Earth," he says, "yet our perception of it is still in its infancy," he said.

7 and semi-legal drugs

All of us often to see the titles of articles on drug names such as cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. But today there are many other drugs, which in some countries is absolutely legal. So for example the number of deaths from overdose of painkillers in the U.S. exceeds the number of deaths from overdose of cocaine and heroin combined. Most of these products are sold exclusively by prescription, but a growing number of legal and illegal sales (to recall a recent attempt suicide Demi Moore) has attracted the attention of health authorities and law enforcement. Here are the seven most dangerous legal drugs.

1. "Bath Salts"

Forget about relaxing bathing: effects of the drug is comparable to the effects of cocaine and methamphetamine. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Health banned the use of mephedrone, the active ingredient in most types of salts, but manufacturers simply changed the formula. (Paul J. Richards, AFP / Getty Images)

2. Salvia

Smoking dried salvia - a plant that is grown in Mexico and Central America - leads to hallucinations and "psychedelic changes in visual perception, mood and feelings," like LSD. The only difference is that the effect of salvia lasts no more than 30 minutes. (Carlos Osorio)

3. Synthetic marijuana

The labels say "not for human consumption," but these labels do not discourage smokers "Spice" and "K2" - synthetic substitutes marijuana. The prohibitions of active ingredients has led only to a change in the formula of the drug, but not to stop its production. (Douglas R. Clifford, St. Petersburg Times / Zuma)

4. Cough syrup

This is not about the intended end use, and about the use of high doses, which leads to euphoria, speech and dizziness. In combination with alcohol active ingredient - dextromethorphan (DXM) - a particularly dangerous. There is a syrup, DXM in the composition of which is not included. (Photodisc / Getty Images)

5. Amyl nitrate and butyl, "Flapper"

Amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate in medicine used to relieve pain in my heart. As a drug it is taken as a sexual stimulant, which can be received without a prescription.

6. Nitrous oxide, "laughing gas"

Nitrous oxide is sold in small metal containers - the same gas that dentists use in operations. It is especially popular among teenagers and they supposedly poisoned by Demi Moore. (Jvoves / Flickr)

7. Paint thinner

Inhalation of diluent, petrol or glue leads to dizziness and hallucinations, but it causes brain damage, depression and even death in overdose. (Getty Images)

Gunners news: West Brom 2-3 Arsenal

Koscielny completes dramatic turnaround as Gunners secure third

The Gunners spoil Roy Hodgson's final game in charge of the Baggies as they take a vital win in their efforts to secure Champions League football for next season

The first half began in frenetic fashion as the Gunners took the lead through Yossi Benayoun taking advantage of Marton Fulop’s error in goal. However, the Baggies hit back through goals from Shane Long and Graham Dorrans, before Andre Santos benefited from another Fulop error and made the score 2-2, all within half an hour.

By contrast, the second period was a lot calmer and saw both sides defend doggedly without creating many clear chances. Yet another Fulop error, this time from a corner, handed Laurent Koscielny the chance to give Arsenal the lead, which he took gratefully.

The Baggies’ goalkeeper Ben Foster suffered an injury in training and missed out, so Marton Fulop made his Premier League debut for the home side between the posts. Meanwhile, Chris Brunt missed out having had his tonsils removed, and was replaced by Simon Cox.

For the Gunners, Bacary Sagna’s broken fibula has ruled him out of Euro 2012, and his place at right back was taken by Carl Jenkinson. Francis Coquelin also started in the midfield for the away side in place of Aaron Ramsey.

Both teams started the first half brightly, but it was Arsenal who had the first chance in just the third minute. Baggies goalkeeper Marton Fulop was indecisive as a pass came back to him from his defender, and Benayoun took advantage to take the ball past him and slot into an empty net.

However, the Baggies clearly wanted to give manager Roy Hodgson the best send-off possible in his last game in charge, and in the 11th minute they drew level. James Morrison went on a weaving run through the heart of the midfield, and his through ball found Shane Long in acres of space. Long placed his finish calmly into the net despite looking like he was running from an offside position and West Brom were back on level terms.

Just three minutes later, the home side found themselves ahead, with Morrison again playing a key role. His lofted pass found Graham Dorrans, who skilfully flicked the ball over Koscielny and hit a shot on the half-volley past Szczesny to give West Brom a 2-1 lead.

The game was now being played at a very high tempo, with both sides looking to attack at every opportunity. However, the next clear chance was not until the 24th minute, when a cross from Carl Jenkinson on the right found Benayoun in the box, whose shot was blocked heroically by Gareth McAuley.

However, both defences were holding firm, but in the 29th minute, another disappointing effort from Fulop handed Arsenal an equaliser. The ball made its way to Andre Santos, and his speculative effort from just outside the penalty area found its way into the net despite the Hungarian getting a hand to the shot.

After what was a highly entertaining opening half an hour, the game eventually settled into something of a midfield battle, which neither could dominate, and the half ended with the score tied at 2-2.

The second half began in a cagier manner, with the game interrupted somewhat by an injury to James Morrison that forced him to be replaced by Keith Andrews in West Brom’s midfield.

This changed in the 54th minute as Fulop once again proved to be problematic in the Baggies’ goal. A corner came in from the left, and he could have caught the ball under no pressure from any Arsenal attacker. However, he failed to gather the cross cleanly, and punched it into the path of Koscielny, who gleefully swept the ball home to give the away side a 3-2 lead.

For the subsequent 15 minutes, neither side could create any clear chances until the 70th minute, when substitute Andrews let fly with a stinging shot on goal that could only be palmed away by Szczesny.

However, West Brom could not find a way through a resolute Arsenal defence, and the Gunners were happy to hold onto their 3-2 victory and secure third place in the Premier League table.

Rating of the most expensive paintings of the world

Rating of the most expensive paintings of the world - a regularly updated list of works of art sold at art auctions in the twentieth and twenty-first century.
