A team from University of Adelaide has developed a fast and simple technique of authenticating wine. The new technique can help the billions of dollars of fraud taking place in the wine industry across the globe. Furthermore, there are possibilities that new regional branding could also gradually develop in the long run. The researchers were able to find the origin of wine to be Australia and France with the help of molecular fingerprinting that uses fluorescence spectroscopy to analyze the mo
Controlling the breathing pattern in majority of the mammalian processes can help in metabolic regulation, energy production, and even speech. Researchers have recently found the production of hydrogen sulfide in the body is important to create a normal breathing pattern that in turn can potential lead to new treatments for people having breathing disorders such as central sleep apnea.However, it has been found that exposure to extreme levels of hydrogen sulfide is very harmful to mammalian he
A specific bacterium surrounding the roots of ginseng plants is found to offer a new scope for the cure of Alzheimers disease. The researchers have recently published the new finding that rhizolutin is a newgroup of compounds having a tricyclic framewith a property ofexpressivelyseparating the protein aggregates linked with Alzheimers disease both in vitroand in vivo.As penned downin the journal Angewandte Chemie, the researchers explain the complex ecosystem that exists around the roots of pl
Currently, the increasing cases of breast cancer has encouraged the researchers to look for new alternative that can help easily detect dense breasts as there are certain cancers that the mammography is not sensitive enough to detect. In a few cases, there is a need for abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging, which is commonly known as fast MRI or AB-MR) as the time mammogram takes spot the cancer is already a little late.This new technology is able to precisely detect the presence of cancer i
For better image and video processing, the researchers have used intelligent cameras. They consider this smart technology to be the next milestone in the field of camera technology. Researchers from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universitt Erlangen-Nrnberg (FAU) havecreated a smart/intelligent camera that is able to providehigh spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution. This new camera is likely to have wider applications such as improving environmental security and resource conservation measures a
Recently, a team of researchers from Flinders University led by Professor Jian Qin and his coworker Professor Youhong Tang have developed a device that is not only simple but also commercially practical product. Furthermore, this device is projected to ensure instantaneouschecking of spoilage in seafood with the goal of maintaining food safety for consumers.The researchers believe that this new device is a cost saver and consumer safety measuring product for the seafood industry or the retaile
The landfills are usually filled with the shells of crustaceans and wood waste such as branches cut from trees. These waste materials could be used to make nutritional supplements and medicine through a new process developed by the National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers. The research team developed a new method to convert the shells of prawns and crabs into L-DOPA, which is a drug used for the treatment of Parkinsons disease. This same method could also be used to transform wood wa
The Moscow scientists have discovered and very well explained the mechanism of the latest anti-cancer molecule named diphenylisoxazole. This new drug is found to help combat human cancer cells. Thus, the new study published in the journal Bioorganic Medicinal Chemistry Lettershas made the possibilities of developing an affordable cancer drug highly possible. The cells in our body have microtubules and filaments that form a cytoskeleton, thereby giving cells a rigid shape. The microtubules are
It has been found that approximately 4% of the cancer therapeutic drugs that are under development earn approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current issue is the combination of certain drugs for the patients in a smart way. According to ProfessorTrey Ideker from University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, for cancer predicting which drug will be effective, unique, and attack the complex core workings of a tumor tissue is almost imposs
Recently, a team from Polytechnique Montral has developed a unbreakable bouncing phone using additive that absorbs up to 96% of impact energy. The latest finding published in Cell Reports Physical Sciencejournal provides details about an innovation that helps make unbreakable plastic coverings. According to Professors Frdrick Gosselin Daniel Therriault and Shibo Zou, the plastic webbing integrated into a glass pane is projected to help avoid the breaking on impact. Even though the plastic web
