‘Love hormone’ helps regenerate old muscles

According to a new study, ageing muscles may just need a little ‘love hormone,’ which found that oxytocin may help old muscles work like new. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, found that oxytocin is indispensable for healthy muscle maintenance and repair, and that in mice, it declines with age... Read more 

 Newly developed sensor to test chemical composition of liquids

 Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have built a tiny sensor using miniaturized laser  technology, which can test the chemical composition of liquids. They are invisible, but perfectly  suited for analysing liquids and gases; infrared laser beams are absorbed differently by different  molecules... Read more

“Smart” cup have a check on calorie intake

 A newly developed cup, called the smart cup, can keep tab of the calories that we consume and send an alert when we have enough alcohol. That would sink a lot of worries about weight gain and binge drinking as it allows to know exactly when to put the cup down... Read more

Carbon-nanotube enables charging of portable electronics in 10 minutes

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering have developed a three-dimensional, silicon-decorated, cone-shaped carbon-nanotube cluster architecture for lithium ion battery anodes that could enable charging of portable electronics in 10 minutes, instead of hours... Read more
