A revolutionary breakthrough in medicine comes from some British scientists…”Synthetic Human Blood” derived from embryonic stem cells. If this project is successful, the world may finally see the day when there is no shortage of human blood supply and that too the ones which are completely free of any infection! Since stem cells multiply indefinitely, it basically can result in this enormous quantity of blood.
Forget looking for aliens somewhere on some other planet…now scientists believe that we can find extra terrestrial life right here on earth (yes, seriously)!! We know life the way it is. But as Wired explains “If life arose not just once, but multiple times on Earth, life as we don’t know it could be here on our own planet, perhaps using different chemical processes than we’ve ever seen before“.
Scientists have confirmed that the sixth largest moon of Saturn, called Enceladus, is probably the most promising bet for extra-terrestrial life. The conclusion is based on the temperature as well as the likely presence of water on the moon. And it is long assumed…where there is water, there is life.
Too much work load? Tight daily schedules? It’s time to activate the Pause key for revitalizing yourself before starting off with the work.
Other than the fact Gold is expensive, it has proved to be an extremely useful element in the science of nanotechnology. Thanks to its chemical properties. Using gold nano-particles researchers at Case Western Reserve University have successfully tested a new delivery system, which accelerated the effect of cancer-fighting drugs from days to a few hours. DailyTech explains, “To accomplish this ultra-speedy delivery, researchers used gold nanoparticle vectors to deliver photodynamic therapy (PDT) drugs, a class of drugs that burn away cancer with light via wavelength energization, to tumors.”
It is widely known that a significant number of people working in IT (Information Technology) have blood pressure problems, mainly due to the fact that these jobs are sedentary and ofcourse awfuly stressful. If you are one of such victims, Brando’s USB Arm Blood Pressure Monitor would certainly be an excellent tool to have around. It measures your diastolic, systolic, and pulse rate. You can even upload the data to your PC via USB and let the included software chart your outcome. The device is very portable and will allow you to measure blood pressure even when you are at work.
Bad day in office or school?? Having a really nasty headache? Relieving stress is by far the most important activity you really want to adopt. Forget coffee, just get the OSIM “Anti-Stress Head Massager”. The device called OSIM uCrown, seems to be very comforting. As the company claims, “[OSIM uCrown is] the world’s first head massager that combines patented air pressure technology and vibration massage with soothing heat and relaxation music.”
New research shows that human hair can act as a good fertilizer for plants, especially like lettuce. Hair actually provides nitrogen for plants as it decomposes, in a very similar manner as like ammonia (used in actual fertilizers) does. It is widely known that all plants need nitrogen to grow.
