Are you curious and excited to know about some amazing recent inventions that really catch the eye? Read the below article to unveil it all yourself!

  1.  Floating Desk Lamp

The first invention on the list is the floating desk lamp, which floats above the surface and still, keeps glowing. Now let’s talk about how it works. There is a wireless power transmitter inside the base on which the bulb floats, and a power receiver is placed in the bulb, so this is how it gets power. Now the point is that how it floats, it floats because of magnetic force which is produced by a magnet in the wood base. You can buy it from here.

2. Edible Water

The next invention on the list is Edible water. Nowadays, the use of plastic bottles has increased too much which causes an increase in the level of pollution. But you all would have been scratching your heads to find its solution. The invention shown in the image is a water ball known as Ooho, an edible ball of water, that bursts out water when we bite it! This is an amazing solution to reduce pollution to some extent.                                                            Image credits- Wikimedia


Would you believe me if I say that you can stop dogs from barking unnecessarily just using a simple gadget? You probably must have heard them barking while you are having important meetings or lectures. Here’s a solution to it. Barxbuddy is a type of remote control that can help you to silence dogs. You must be thinking about how it works. It releases ultrasonic sounds which dogs can hear but humans cannot. These sounds are very irritating for them which causes them to stop barking. You can buy it from here.

4. Transparent TV

What would come to your mind when I say Transparent Tv? You would think of tv from a sci-fi film. But would you believe me that these kinds of TVs are now possible? Xiaomi and some other TV brands have made transparent displays in which the pixels are made transparent or fused with a transparent material. Although they are not completely transparent, they are still very futuristic. Mi TV LUX and LG Transparent OLED are examples of such TV. This is definitely next-gen!

7. Transparent Solar Cell


I am sure that you must have heard about the replacement of non-renewable energy sources with renewable sources like solar, tidal, etc. But how's it possible to create a transparent solar cell? Researchers at MIT have accomplished this achievement. These cells absorb only infrared and ultraviolet light rays.

The coatings of solar cells are deposited on various transparent materials which utilize the invisible solar spectrum to produce electricity. These cells can be used as windows or glass panels in buildings and skyscrapers which can provide enough electricity needs of the building.

Annual Day 2023

By
 After a long hiatus due to covid we finally got most activities on track. The Annual Day function is always a big deal for everyone at Abhinav. It has been a tradition my mother started that the Annual Day will be not a Teacher-managed event, but a Student Initiative. Since when I was a teenager, I was part of this and today 10 years after she passed, I still strive to make it work as she would have. After some hesitation, we began working in early January. I wanted to use an outside choreographer just so that teachers will not be burdened.

Almost all of std 9 and m...

So before reaching levels of autonomy we should understand what self-driving cars are and why we require them. What is a self-driving car? A self-driving car (also called an autonomous vehicle) is a car that is competent in driving itself without any human intervention.
