Scientists Identify Genetic Factors Responsible for Infertility Among Indian Men

India Science Wire Male infertility in India is very high. It is generally due to low production and motility of sperm, abnormal shape of sperm or complete absence of it. Now a group of Indian scientists have found underlying genetic factors for infertility among Indian men. They hope this knowledge could help them develop a genetic test for male infertility in near future.It is known that Y chromosome has several genes that play a role in production of sperms. Any deletion of genes on Y chromosome causes diseases of testes…

SCIENTISTS FIND NEW DIMENSION TO DYNAMICS OF INDIAN OCEAN

India Science Wire: Indian scientists have discovered a hitherto unknown effect of the tropical weather phenomenon known as Madden-Julian Oscillation, which plays an important role in determining the fate of Indian summer monsoon. The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is an eastward moving disturbance of clouds, rainfall, winds, and pressure. It circles the planet along the tropical belt in 30-80 days. During its global ride, it intensifies over three regions the eastern Indian Ocean, south of the maritime continent and the western Pacific Ocean and transfers a part of its energy to…

NOW A DENTAL PLAQUE WILL BE WIPING OUT BY AN ARMY OF MICRO-ROBOTS

An adequate visit to the dentist typically consumes the time and some of the times it is such an unpleasant scraping with mechanical tools to remove plaque from teeth. What if, a dentist could station for a small army of tiny robots to precisely and non-invasively remove that buildup? In the University of Pennsylvania a team of engineers, dentists, and biologists developed a microscopic robotic cleaning crew. Whereas with two types of robotic systems — the one to operate inside confined spaces and the other one designed to work on…

AN ULTRA-LIGHT MATERIAL, ONLY GAS MAKING THE BREAKTHROUGH

The majority of aerogel is composed of silica, rather than carbon, iron oxide, organic polymers, semiconductor nanostructures, gold and copper can also form aerogel. Have you ever thought about making the air standstill, or in a way trapping the smoke in a frozen state? Aerogel is what we are looking at here. This is an ultralight material derived from gel, but the twist is that, the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. Making it actually look translucent in nature. You might know about its existence…

ORGANIC ELECTRONICS PAVING THE WAY FOR A SUBTLE FUTURE

OLED-displays is one example which is in the game and already on the market as well, for example in the latest generation of Smartphones, having so much usage to be on the front foot. The science is really subjective in its application, and that is why there is always more of it. As long as there is mankind to fill the void, there will be some or the other scientific resurrections. Organic electronics is also such a branch of material science concerning the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of those…

CIVIC TECHNOLOGY : PERPETUATING THE NEED TO BE HEARD

echnology that fosters the relationship between the citizen and government, now this is something which is somewhat very much apt and usable for a better usage of things and perspectives. These technology is mainly deployed to enhance the relationship between people and government, so that the people can have more voice to participate in public decision making or rather deliver some better services to people. The peripheral of the civic technology, is surfacing around the information technology and includes many significantly useful civic application. As we live in an era…

Swarm robotics forming a delusional effect

We have all witnessed some kind of patterns that nature makes up in the manifestation whole magical world of ours. Like the fishes forging a rampant attack using their delusional art of creating an image that makes their predator to gallop into the deep water and saving themselves. There are always patterns emerging in front of us, in a way that human’s have a delusional feeling of something not so certain that eludes the nature itself. Swarm robotics is also somewhat we can call as an approach to the coordination…

THE TELESCOPE MAKING SEVERANCE THROUGH OUTER-SPACE

This week had brought the entire science enthusiast an epitome of serotonin, giving a blissfully pleasurable experience. We are very much aware of the fact that it took eight telescopes across the planet a week of observations to produce the black hole image that stunned the world, but it took scientists a much longer period of time to teach those instruments to work together, for one mainstreamed objective. And in those two years since the data behind that image was gathered, the Event Horizon Telescope partnership behind the groundbreaking observations…

SMART RETAILS : TAKING ON THE CHARGE

The main binding blocks that are required for smart retail are majorly connectivity, integration and big-data analytics. They allow the configuration of products and services tailored to individual preferences and effective efficient customer communication and retention, just to provide a holistic experience. When working for such an organization of significance. It is supposedly thought that people will be inclined towards the sales for various right facts, and attaining the right results. This scenario does require devices such as personal computer, cash registers, and advertisements can be extremely powerful tool in…

CONGREGATION OF INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGIES

The buzz about IoT has always been around, primarily due to the way it can connect so many fragmented things into one particular bracket. It is also promising to evoke a feeling of modernization for the industries. So many IoT centered firms are introducing us to the newest of the applications revolving the Internet of Things. This ever evolving industry has made its special place in the electronic environment, which is pretty much evident in the forefront. It is the basic plan of action; you show them where the significant…
