Seth Wahle has a chip implanted into his body. Wahle, a former petty officer in the US Navy and now an engineer at a company called APA Wireless, is a biohacker, someone who likes toying with the limits of the human body.

Now, Wahle is using that chip to offer an intriguing insight into the future of cyber security. Using the chip embedded in his hand, Wahle and his collaborator Rod Soto have shown he can hack into someone’s phone simply by touching it. The duo are due to show off at a hacker conference in Miami on 16 May.

They’re not doing it for malevolent reasons, rather to demonstrate a hidden way our phones and computers could one day be hacked without us realising.

It all began with a serendipitous conversation in a pizza parlour with Soto, a security researcher and the organiser of an event called Hack miami in Florida. “Seth was there, eating pizza,” Soto says (Wahle clarifies that he was also doing homework), “and I was like ‘hey, you look like someone who likes computers.’ And I find out the guy has a chip in his hand!” Wahle’s implant is an RFID chip, a tiny device that can hold small amounts of data and communicate with devices nearby.

Cone Shaped Spinning Solar Cells

Cone Shaped Spinning Solar Cells Generate 20 Times More Electricity Than Flat Photovoltaics.

Every now and then a design emerges that just moves the whole world upside down with new unbelievable claims. These Cone shaped spinning solar contributing look shape contribute to collecting maximum sunlight from any angle at any time of year. It’s truly a revolutionary design, and one that apparently works 20 times better than traditional flat panel solar photovoltaics.

Germany's feed in tariff FIT program

Germany’s with its solar support programs is a leading solar producer due to Germany’s feed-in tariffs (FITs) for solar PV and resulting reform efforts. Today, Germany has 35 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity and is on track to hit 52 GW in the near future, representing about 7 percent of the nation’s wholesale generation. Most importantly, the report finds: “By and large, the German path has been remarkably successful, given the goal – shared by a great majority of the population – of ‘de-fossilizing’ Germany’s electricity sector.”

Germany reached fifty percent solar energy

Germany produced a record 50 percent of its electricity needs through solar panel just what it is capable of in the first two weeks of June, when solar panels in Germany generated a record 24.24 GW of electricity between 1pm and 2pm on June 6th, which equalled 50.6 percent of total electricity demand because of unusually hot weather with highs of 37C.

The success of Germany’s solar production lies with encouraging people to install them on their roof tops rather than building huge solar farms.

Ninety percent of solar panels in Germany were on individuals’ roofs. Solar power production had increased by 34 percent in the first five months of the year compared to last year due to better weather.

More than 1.4 million photovoltaic systems are producing a surplus energy especially on sunny days around midday, hence Germany will need more energy storage capacity in the future.
