Contact Lenses Able to Receive SMS and E-mails
Remember the scene in most of the sci-fi or spy movies：presenting data or scanning data directly with or in front of your eyes.After watching the video，we begin to realize that this is not the result of the evolution of the human eye，and the fact is that they had installed the high-tech stuff within the eyes，but we can not see it.Now，Microsystems Technology Center of University of Ghent，Belgium has developed a spherical curved LCD screen，and lens implant is expected within a few years.Spherical liquid crystal display uses wireless technology to deal with the projected image，and after wearing the contact lenses，you can check your SMS and e-mails free on the lenses.The technology has now entered the real application stage，and it may be able to popularize in the next few years.Meanwhile，researchers are trying to make these lenses into sunglasses to adapt to different levels of the sun rays.
Smee who led the study said，"This is not science fiction.if such a spherical display can be successfully implanted into contact lenses，then lenses can reflect SMS in the smart cell phone directly into our eyes.It must be very interesting."

The researchers found that smaller chameleons' elastic tongue speed is faster than larger ones. Dr. Anderson said that prior to this，this unique capability of chameleon was easily overlooked.Currently，studies have shown that in all reptiles，birds or mammals，chameleons' hunting behavior has the highest acceleration and maximum power output of muscle mass per kilogram.According to Dr.Anderson，chameleon will not unconsciously pop its tongue muscles，instead，pre-load energy is concentrated on the elastic tissues of the tongue.Once curling up，the muscle elasticity of the tongue can significantly increase and help make it easier to catch flies and other small airborne organisms.

Lake Maracaibo is Famous For Lightning
On Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela，there is a place where lightning strikes 297 days a year.And it has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the lightning hot spots on the planet.
By means of lightning imaging scanner（LIS）NASA satellite on tropical rainfall measurement，Rachel Albrecht and her team in University of Sao Paulo analyzed data from 1998 t0 2013 recorded by LIS and further identified the place at the junction of Lake Maracaibo and Catatumbo River that has the most lightning strikes，hence more accurately determined the location of lightning strikes than before .
How is this strange storm climate formed？It turned out to be the surrounding terrain configuration.The lake is located in the Andes and is close to the Caribbean Sea.Under the influence of both the warm ocean air and cold mountain stream，which can easily produce airflow storm after collision.According to statistics，at the peak of the storm，the lightning here can strike the water up t0 28 times per minute.
However，similar phenomenon also occurred in other parts of the world.For example，a village in Republic of the Congo is considered as the world's second densest lightning point.

"Change the number of embedded particles，or using different types of polyethylene film can adjust the temperature problem while charging the battery."
