Night vision to Mammals by Nanotechnology

-
As we all know, Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that typically deals with the nanometre ranged materials or structures. In our day to day life, its applications play a very important role almost in every field. One of its prominent application is towards the medical and biomedical field. 

The current application of nanotechnology is to trigger the tumour cells with the help of certain nanoparticles and kill them in a very short and safe manner. Nanoscale devices make use of sensors to detect the cancer cells inside our body in the cancer nanotechnology. In this type of sensors, they may use a wide variety of detecting elements such as carbon nanotubes, palladium nanoparticles, nanowires and so on.

A recent most fascinating application of nanotechnology is that they can give night vision to the mammals by using the lectin nanoparticles to fit the nanoantennae into the place.

Human eyes can sense the light in the visible range. It is impossible for human eyes to detect the light in the infrared and ultraviolet range. Generally, Mammals does not have proper night vision due to NIR(Near Infrared). NIR is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is directly adjacent to the visible region. For this reason, human eyes are invisible to dark vision.



Scientists discovered an innovative idea of placing the nanoantennae just nearer to the photo receptor of the eye by making use of nanoparticles. So that, NIR can directly hit into the nanoantennae and it converts NIR light into green light which is visible to the human eye.

This technique is highly safe and biocompatible. There are no additional wearables required for this method and there will be no side effects after glueing the nanoantennae into the eye.

                    Liquid Cell Technology to view 3D Images Scientists discovered a new liquid cell technology which directly allows the researchers to view the three-dimensional images of living biological structures and materials under the electron microscopy. Liquid-Cell Electron Tomography provides a technical advancement to study dynamic materials . Scientists can analyse the interactions between the host and the pathogens in our body by using the promo chips along with the liquid cell technology. This technique assists in viewing the molecular mechanisms once the virus is being introduced into the cell. This technique represents the world's nano scale CAT scan (Computed Tomography) in a liquid environment. Some researchers reported that insights into bacteriophage and host bacterium interactions will offer a method to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The images taken by this technology revealed the structural features of the bacteriophage that were previou

Food is essential for every human beings for survival. Digestion of food involves the breaking of larger food molecules into smaller particles and that can be absorbed by the cells of our body. Gastroparesis otherwise termed as " delayed gastric emptying " or " stomach paralysis" , is a condition that affects the normal mobility of food from stomach to intestine. Sometimes, this may happen due to improper digestion. The symptoms of this condition may include nausea, vomiting, burning sensation in the heart, feeling full when eating etc,. This may cause malnutrition, dehydration and some infection. The symptoms of gastroparesis may be mild or severe. Sometimes, it will create serious complications like diabetes, multiple sclerosis etc,. The people with gastroparesis are suggested to have follow dietary modifications. They should eat nutritious food, should not overeat and do some exercises for proper digestion of food. They should avoid  eating ju
