USB Ultrasound Imaging Became Possible with Smartphone!

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

In the past, it’s impossible to combine the medical and technology fields together. However, thanks to the advent technology, most of the impossible mission becoming possible, especially in this bizarre 21st century!
The concept, “Cell Phone as a Platform for Healthcare” had been worked out since few decades ago. However, due to the lack of technology, [...]

Human Power Generators

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

The developments in the field of science and technology has cashed heavily over the existing sources of power. This has slowly depleted the non-renewable sources of power such as power from burning of fossil fuels like petrol and diesel. Also researchers and scientists have scoped that if existing consumption of fossil fuels exist, this may [...]
