Scientists are developing a new technology that would enable blind people to see through their cell-phones and tablets. The technology is being developed at the University of Lincoln, UK where specialists in computer vision and machine learning are trying to create a system that would describe new environments to people with sight challenges. The program is funded through a Google Faculty Research Award.

“This project will build on our previous research to create an interface that can be used to help people with visual impairments,” says project lead Dr Nicola Bellotto, an expert on machine perception and [...]

Scientists have discovered a new molecule that will make your teeth cavity-proof, the formula has been dubber “Keep 32” and can kill cavity producing bacteria in 60 seconds. The researchers claim that the flexibility of the molecule allows it to be added to any substance like toothpaste or mouthwash, even chewing gum and candies. 

The scientists have said that the product/formula needs to be in your mouth for at least 60 seconds for it to make your teeth cavity proof.  It will eliminate the dreadful cavity causing Streptococcus Mutans and will prevent its regeneration for many hours.

The research on the molecule began in 2005 and has now been fully [...]
