IIT-Kharagpur invents microneedle for painless shot

All it took for inspiration to develop a painless injection was a mosquito bite. Yes, a mosquito uses a unique method to deliver a painless bite and researchers at IIT Kharagpur wondered if they could make an injection that mimicked the mechanical action involved. While most of us think that a mosquito bite hurts, in reality, the irritation is due to chemicals in its saliva. After three years of research, IIT-Kgp, along with the Tokai University of Japan, has invented this novel injection that uses a microneedle to extract blood or deliver drug painlessly by using the same suction-based pressure that a female mosquito uses to suck blood. The diameter of the needle is just 30 micro metre. Besides others, this injection will especially benefit diabetes mellitus patients as blood tests are critical for its diagnosis and management. These patients have to check their blood gl...

Apple developing own search engine to challenge Google

Apple might be working on launching its own search engine and according to reports there are several clues online that support the possibility including job announcements for search engineers. Apple is looking to create its Spotlight Search to take on Google Search with iOS 14 beta. Google is undoubtedly the most popular search engine in the world. It is the most preferred search engine not only for Android users but also for users from Apple's ecosystem. In fact, Google pays Apple billions of dollars to remain the default search engine on the Safari browser across all the hardware products from Apple. However, there is a good chance that this may not be the case in the future. According to a report by Coywolf, Apple could be working on launching its own search engine some time in the future. The report cites several indicators that Apple is working on its own search ...

Everything on Netflix in one second can download using the world fastest internet speed of 178 Tbps

Researchers at the University College London have set a new world record for the fastest internet in the world at 178 terabits per second or 178,000 Gbps In order to get such insane speeds, UCL researchers have applied a higher range of wavelengths instead of the standard fibre optic ones as well as used newer amplifier technology to boost the signal farther while amplifying it massively. As of now, the infrastructure uses a bandwidth of 4.5THz and 9THz commercial bandwidth has just surfaced in some markets. However, this super-fast internet uses a 16.8THz bandwidth for achieving the 178 terabit speed. Just in May, world experienced the fastest internet speeds in Australia at 44.2Tbps, however, this new technology has a considerable advantage. Surprised to know that according to UCL, upgrading amplifiers would only cost a fraction of what it cost...

Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 from 17th August 2021

Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer 11 across its Microsoft 365 apps and services next year. In exactly a year, on August 17th, 2021, Internet Explorer 11 will no longer be supported for Microsoft’s online services like Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook, and more. Microsoft is also ending support for Internet Explorer 11 with the Microsoft Teams web app later this year, with support ending on November 30th. Microsoft is hoping that the new Internet Explorer legacy mode in the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser will help. It will continue to let businesses access old sites that were specifically built for Internet Explorer, until Microsoft fully drops support for Internet Explorer 11 within Windows 10. Microsoft’s move to stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 with its main web properties is a good first step, though. While it’s still going to ...
