Researchers develop thread-based sensors to detect changes in metabolite levels in sweat.
Metabolism — or the processing and utilisation of energy resources to sustain life — results in a number of by-product molecules called metabolites. Medical practitioners measure the concentration of these molecules in body fluids such as blood, urine, sweat and saliva to test whether the body is functioning normally. While biannual check-ups suffice for the regular population, people with chronic diseases need to monitor their medical conditions constantly.
Researchers have demonstrated the reciprocal relationship of electricity and magnetism over a thin magnetic film.
Physicists discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism more than a century ago. The intricate relationship between these entities, previously thought to be separate, currently goes by the name „electromagnetism‟. It largely governs the world in which we live. From large power grids to fans in our rooms to electronic gadgets, everything runs on these well-understood principles.
Researchers investigate social, economic, human, and physical factors driving and resulting in recovery in the aftermath of Cyclone Phailin.
