In an effort to make the batteries that power wearables and medical devices safer, scientists have developed new flexible batteries that can run on saltwater — and maybe one day blood, sweat, or tears. The lightweight batteries, described in a paper published this week in the journal Chem, can withstand being folded in half a hundred times. And they’re safer: instead of running on toxic chemicals, they’re powered by relatively harmless liquids like saltwater and IV rehydration solutions. That’s key if you have a battery powering a device that’s worn on or inside your body. That way, if the battery leaks, the stuff inside won’t hurt you. Batteries work by storing electrical energy as chemical energy. They have three main components: two metal electrodes that conduct electricity — one that’s positively charged, one that’s negatively charged — and a soup or paste of electrolytes in between. When the battery is powering a device, ions shed their electrons and then drift through the el

The growing stability in the global oil market may work to Nigeria’s advantage, as the Joint Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), on Friday extended the exemption granted the country over the output cut imposed on member countries in January 2017. At its meeting in Vienna, Austria, the Committee upheld Nigeria’s position that the exemption, which was extended by another six months last May, should be sustained until the country’s oil production stabilises. The extension of the exemption period means more revenue earnings from oil exports by Nigeria, as the country would be able to export all the oil it produces as oil prices hover around $57 a barrel. The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, said recently that the country’s daily production capacity has since grown close to an average of 1.8 million barrels per day. At the meeting in Vienna, Kachikwu, who led the Nigerian delegation, had a

The clarifications were made by President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide Garba Shehu in an interview with Nigerian Tribune published on Saturday, September 23.

 The United States of America has vowed to shoot down any missile fired by North Korea towards Guam Territory, after dictator, Kim Jong-un threatened testing a H-bomb across the U.S Territory of Guam following Donald Trump's speech at the just concluded UN General Assembly where he said he'll do anything to defend the United States and it's allies from North Korea even if it means totally destroying North Korea. The remarks were not taken kindly by Kim Jong-un who made a rare broadcast appearance, where he branded the US President as a "dotard" and "frightened dog". The US leader responded with a tweet calling Kim Jong-un "a madman" who "will be tested like never before!” and now the world power say if Kim delivers his threat of flying a hydrogen bomb over the pacific, it'll be shot down. UN Assistant Secretary of State, Susan Thornton, said: "If a missile targeted Guam or flew over it, we would have shot it down

Reality stars, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner are being sued for $32 million by their former marketer who they failed to pay a share of the profit made from Kardashian Beauty line. John LaBonty, the CEO and President of Boldface, a company that markets beauty products, alleges that Kim, Khloe and Kourtney along with momager Kris Jenner failed to pay him an agreed five percent share of profits from their beauty products, TMZ reported.

Chelsea head coach, Antoni Conte, has revealed he won't have any problem shaking the hands of Spanish striker, Diego Costa, when Chelsea and Atletico Madrid clash in the UEFA Champions Legue this season. Costa, 28, completed his long wanted move to former club, Atletico Madrid on Thursday, bringing an end to his long feud with Conte after the striker revealed that he was informed by the coach that he was surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge via a text message. Costa's goals helped Chelsea win the English premier league title last season, but following a standoff with Conte, he was informed by the coachh to find another club at the end of last season which led Costa to go on strike in his homeland after he was ordered to train with the  reserve team following his refusal to join Chinese club in the summer. Costa finally joined Atletico on Thursday but Conte claims he'll have no problems greeting the powerful striker despite the nature of his exit.
