Pete has an incredibly high threshold of pain passed down to him as a combination of subtle mutations from his parents. He can not feel the burn of the fire, and can walk on glass pieces without feeling a thing.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Timothy Dreyer is another superhuman who has a bone structure similar to that of the Incredible Hulk. His bones are so dense that he could literally walk out of the car accidents. His condition is termed as sclerosteosis.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Pharma companies across the globe are studying these mutations and working on ways to create wonder drugs as we speak. Also for the medicine business, this is an opportunity to increase their worth to billions.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Currently, there are only about a hundred people having sclerosteosis and the research is going on to use this mutation against osteoporosis. Similarly, Steven Pete’s insensitivity to pain could provide a major breakthrough for the pain relief industry and which is estimated for a US$18 billion industry.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The researchers have already created a medication that is derived from the gene of another superhuman. It is a cholesterol-lowering drug that will soon be available in the US markets.<span style="border: 0px; color: #3366ff; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But, these heightened abilities and resistive powers also have some side-effects. Due to Pete’s superhuman strength of enduring pain, he once chewed his own tongue as a baby and as he grew up his left leg suffered permanent damage from his injuries, which unfortunately he never felt. Dreyer’s bone condition has led to hearing loss because of the huge cranial pressure.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Researchers are trying to take out the best from these mutations and utilize them without the side-effects. The superhumans out there would feel content as their genetic contribution will help the fellow humans facing critical condition.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Image: <a class="" data-rel="nofollow lightbox-1" href="http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11113/111131174/3374435-w.jpg" style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease; border: 0px; color: #9a65b2; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span class="" style="border: 0px; color: #3366ff; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Comicvine</span></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> For more updates and interesting stories, subscribe to SPR newsletter.</div> <div> <br /></div> <form action="http://fossbytes.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" class="mymail-form mymail-form-submit mymail-form-1 mymail-ajax-form " method="post" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </form> </div> </div> </div> </h1> </div>

Lasers are powerful energy beams and can emit up to <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2 quadrillion watts of power</span>.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">A Laser is based on the principle of coherence, i.e. Laser emits narrow bandwidth wavelengths, or you can say specific frequencies. Whereas, the white light comprises of a wider wavelength and contains a large number of light frequencies.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">So, creating a white laser is an irony, but there are ways to generate a laser that seems as if it’s emitting ‘white’ color, by combining lasers of different colors. The scientists at ASU had used nanomaterials that allow colored beams to combine and become a ‘white laser’ beam. The colors, as you must have anticipated by now are red, blue, and green.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">The scientists from the ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering developed a sheet of a nanoscale semiconductor based on a quaternary alloy of ZnCdSSe. With this semiconductor sheet, the scientists were able to combine the three colored lasers to form a pure ‘white laser’.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Controlling the proportions of each colored laser was the tricky part. For that, the scientists adjusted the lattice pattern of the semiconductor, i.e. the lattice constant (atomic distance) was tampered to produce a uniform required area. So, the result was a single material with different lattices that could produce a white light laser.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Lasers have been in the picture since 1960 and seen mostly as death rays, laser swords, or a cutting edge military weapon. But now, the laser technology is even being tested by Facebook to <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://allbabouttechbyspr.blogspot.com/2015/07/facebook-internet-drones-will-beam.html" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">beam Internet at 10 Gbps</a></span> through drones.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">This development could have tremendous practical applications as per the ASU scientists. The white laser can be used in display screens such as televisions and monitors. The color range of the laser is 70% greater, more accurate and vivid than the usual. Also, the White Laser is much brighter and efficient than the regular light sources.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Lasers can also be used in <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">futuristic optical communication</span> which are much faster, as in optical versions of Wi-Fi.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">White Laser has been developed, but as you have seen it requires an incredible precision and a nano-scale technology. So, it is yet to become practical. To become a common light source, a white laser should be able to work from the available batteries. As of now, it is powered with a separate laser.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Did this news about White Laser excite you?

Well, take a sigh of relief as Google is busy fixing the bug and a patch will be rolled out in the next few days. Talking at a Black Hat session, Adrian Ludwig, Android security head at Google said:</span><div class="su-quote su-quote-style-default" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0.5em 3em; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div class="su-quote-inner su-clearfix" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">My guess is that this is the single largest software update the world has ever seen. Hundreds of millions of devices are going to be updated in the next few days. It’s incredible.</span></div> </div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">At the “Android Security State of the Union” talk at Black Hat, Ludwig shed some light on Google’s prompt efforts to fix the Android hijack bug Stagefright. This bug enabled hackers to threaten nearly a billion Android phone users. At the moment, OTA updates for Android hijack bug Stagefright are being pushed to the complete Nexus phone lineup that would train the phones to repair themselves. But, what about the other non-Nexus users?</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Don’t worry people, your phones will be getting the same update this week. From now on, major smartphone makers like Google, Samsung, LG and others have committed to roll out monthly security updates. This Android hijack bug Stagefright targets Google’s Hangout messaging app. Till the update is released for your Android phone, Ludwig has advised people to use a different messaging app.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">“We’ve looked at the events of the last few weeks and realized we need to move faster, and that we need to tell people what we are doing,” Ludwig said.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">The Android hijack bug Stagefright is a serious flaw that affects about 95 percent devices with a single text. Considering these increasing threats, Ludwig said that the Android maker is investing heavily in blocking the harmful apps and thus hardening the Android ecosystem.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Also read:<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <a href="http://allbabouttechbyspr.blogspot.com/2015/08/thousands-of-apps-will-crash-when.html" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Thousands of Apps Will Crash When Android M Goes Live, Here’s Why</a></span></span></div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="color: #444444;">Do you appreciate Google’s prompt efforts to fix the Android hijack bug Stagefright?
