High speed data is already being transmitted by visible light to the moon, so why not in your living room, too? After the Fraunhofer Institute showed off 3Gbps speeds with LED lights, researchers from five UK universities have managed to transmit data at 10Gbps using micro-LEDs with a technique they've coined "LiFi." The team was able to crack the barrier by combining 3.5Gbps streams in each of the red, green and blue frequencies that make up white light. Such a technique could one day work with existing light bulbs, promising higher speeds than current WiFi and increased security -- since visible light can't penetrate solid objects like walls. In addition, a single bulb could theoretically provide connectivity for up to four devices. For now, such devices are confined to the lab, but given the torrid pace of development, don't be surprised if your data connection is soon a click of the switch away.
Craig Venter may just be the most arrogant high-profile scientist today, but in his defense the man has a lot to show for. You might not remember the name, but you might remember his hallmark achievement – the creation of the world’s first synthetic life. Now, with the release of his second book, Life at the Speed of Light: From the Double Helix to the Dawn of Digital Life, Venter takes advantage of the opportunity to reveal one of the most powerful biological application science has had to offer in the past few decades. Venter and his company, Synthetic Genomics Incorporated (SGI), have created a prototype for a device that can remotely receive DNA sequences over the internet to synthesise proteins, viruses and even living cells.
Water makes up the major fluid supporting our bodily systems and is important to your overall health. Drinking water improves your complexion, feeds your hair, hydrates your vision, and so much more. Throughout the day you lose hydration through sweat, urine, stool, breathing, and caloric metabolism. Those losses are accelerated in warmer climates, during exercise, at high altitudes, and in older adults therefore it is important to equal your intake of water with your output.
Drink water
Your body is made up of about 60% water that helps in the function of digestion, absorption circulation, lubrication, nutrient transport, and body temperature maintenance. When you are low on fluids your body triggers a mechanism in your posterior pituitary gland that tells you, “Hey you are thirsty now.” When you get this message, you feel thirsty and you seek out something to drink. Water is the best source to rehydrate your body but tea, coffee, juices, and milk are also good resources. Depending on your level of hydration, water will give you the greatest relief compared to sugary options.
Benefits of drinking water
Healthy Skin
Muscle Energy
Calorie Control and many more!
How Much?
The old rule was 8 glasses of water per day, but new research says this might not necessarily be true. While we still need a healthy serving of water, it may not be 8 glasses. First you can consume a healthy supply of water through water-rich fruits and vegetables such as melons, citrus, celery, and many others. The Institute of Medicines reports that men need about 3 liters of water while women require about 2.2 liters but these numbers include total beverages in a day and water-rich foods. So the next time you feel thirsty, reach for a tall glass of water, your body will thank you.
Brain, Beer and Coffee!
While Albert Einstein, considered one of the foremost geniuses of the 20th century, has transformed scientists' understanding of physics and astronomy with his theories, the intellect of Einstein himself has remained misunderstood.
Ever since pathologist Dr. Thomas Harvey harvested the scientist's brain in 1955, researchers have tried to crack the mystery of Einstein's genius by observing that brain.
