Solar Impulse 2 - around the world with a solar plane

After the predecessor of the solar plane Solar Impulse 2 made history several times, including as the first solar plane to make an intercontinental flight, its successor has set itself an even more daring mission, which plans to fly around the world, which has already started in Abu Dhabi.

MWC 2015: Johnnie Walker with the first smart whiskey

Johnnie Walker Blue Label whiskey is the world's first smart spirit.

This transmits data to the user's smartphone, and it was tried for the first time at the mobile congress MWC 2015.

ZTE Grand S3 smartphone with eye "scanner"

China's ZTE, unlike most other smartphone providers, approached biometric identification differently. Not by taking fingerprints, but by "scanning" the eyes, as he installed the EyeVerify scanner in his new Grand S3 smartphone. This does not "scan" the iris, but the blood vessels, as they are without a pair and do not change with age and stress. For one of the most secure ways of identification, we use the front camera.

Which is still cheap when you think about how much a guitar, piano, violin and bass combined would hit our wallets. But the Instrument 1 can sound quite different, as it can be connected to the iPhone family and a PC.

Sesame Smart Lock - Unlock your door with your smartphone on Kickstarter

The smart lock may not be a completely new coinage, namely fingerprint (biometric technology) and contactless card locks could already be called smart locks, but the only real ones are those like Sesame from Kickstarter, which work in connection with a smartphone.
