How many times have we spilled coffee or ketchup on our way to an important office meeting or a party?
Wish there was a way, the coffee or ketchup just wouldn’t stick to the shirt! You can brush it off as if it was dust.
Man’s dream come true! Nano shirts are the answer to your problems.
This is what Mr.Sagar R. Joshi, from Nano Fabrics India (www.nanofabrics.in) had to say about nano shirts.
NM: How did the company get the idea of manufacturing stain-resistant/spill proof shirts?
NF: Actually we are in manufacturing of biomagnetic bracelet wherein our labours needs to wear aprons while in the workshop,we thought of & had seen such material for military people. So thought of manufacturing such cloth for all common man all over the world. Everyone should get benefit of such new innovative technology.

“Sabyasachi Sarkar and colleagues at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur have developed a technique to dissolve carbon nanotubes in water, allowing them to be taken up by plants without damaging them. When the team fed their nanotube solution to chickpea plant seeds they found it more than doubled their shoot length and increased their root growth and water uptake.” – NewScientist

Recently I read a very interesting article on Optogenetics in Scientific American magazine. It said Optogenetics is an emerging field combining optical and genetic techniques to probe neural circuits within intact mammals and other animals, at the high speeds (millisecond-timescale) needed to understand brain information processing.
I am always fascinated by the workings of our human brain. Human brain is unique. It gives us the power to think, plan, believe, speak and imagine.

Food from the printer? I read the headline again. It did say “Now, a 3D food printer with edible ink”.
I always thought this was possible only in sci-fi movies like Star Trek or Star Wars. But apparently scientists at Cornell University in New York are developing a commercially viable 3D food printer, which uses raw food ‘inks’ that are fed into the printer and once you load the recipe and press the button, presto, you have your food ready! That’s like a dream come true.

Recently two sci-fi action and adventure video games namely “Escape from diab” and “Nanoswarm” were launched. These games are specifically designed to lower the risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity among kids.
The players have to make healthy lifestyle choices such as choosing nutritious food, eating right and exercising in order to win the game.
