U.S. scientists have developed a quantum batteries
American scientists from the University of Illinois developed the concept of quantum battery, reports Technology Review. It is assumed that the new batteries will be up to 10 times more succinct than this common lithium-ion batteries.
According to the developers each quantum battery would consist of billions of nanometer-sized capacitors. Due to quantum effects nanocapacitors capacity will increase significantly as a result of which they will be able to accumulate a huge amount of energy.
The developers also promise a quantum battery in addition to increased capacity of new battery will have a high rate charging. Therefore to fully charge the phone equipped with a quantum battery it only takes a few minutes.
Unfortunately the practical realization of the concept of American scientists far. At present quantum battery exists only on paper.

ICANN Complains
The ICANN organization dealing with regulatory of issues associated with domain names, IP-addresses and other aspects of the functioning of the Internet, opposed the practice of correct spelling of users who receive the wrong website address. Currently some DNS-operators that convert domain names into IP-addresses and vice versa, trying to help the user requesting the wrong address. For this they return errors instead of addresses of other sites. As a result the user is automatically redirected to a site that he did not request.
Typically users are redirected to the popular portals or information and reference sites. ICANN calls this practice as potentially dangerous. First because of this increased response time. Secondly it is difficult to determine what the appropriate site is not working. Third when you try to send mail to a nonexistent address users do not receive an error message immediately.
Moreover such sites are potential target of hackers who would like to redirect users to their own resources that contain malicious programs. ICANN intends to prohibit the substitution of domains and will soon prepare a draft of an agreement with the owners of top-level domains.
