Vegetable Wash 101: How to Clean Different Types of Vegetables and fruits

Vijay Raman

In our quest for healthier eating habits, incorporating more fruits and vegetables into our diets is a common goal. However, the produce, despite its fresh appearance can pick unwanted dirt, bacteria and pesticides on its journey from the farm to the table. Properly cleaning fruits and vegetables is a crucial step in food preparation that is often overlooked or done incorrectly. Using a dedicated fruit and vegetable wash provides an extra layer of protection for you and your family. As a mother, influencer, and advocate for healthy living, Komal Verma,…

IDTechEx: CO2 Utilization Market to Grow To US$240 Billion by 2045

Vijay Raman

Author: Eve Pope, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx   Carbon capture technologies capable of removing CO2 from industrial emissions have been around for over 50 years, but widescale deployment of CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) has been too slow for global net-zero ambitions. While governments are beginning to implement carbon pricing mechanisms or tax credits to motivate permanent storage of CO2 deep underground, a profitable business model exists beyond CO2 sequestration via emerging CO2 utilization applications. According to the new IDTechEx research report, “Carbon Dioxide Utilization 2025-2045: Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players”, sales from CO2 utilization…

Researchers develop anti-Parkinson’s system

Vijay Raman

Scientists have developed an affordable, user-friendly, portable smartphone-based fluorescence turn-on sensor system that can help in the prevention of Parkinson's disease. This sensor will help in accurately detecting the concentration of L-dopa in the body, thereby helping in determining the exact dosage required for effective prevention of this disease. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a steady deterioration in neuron cells which leads to a significant decrease in the levels of dopamine (neurotransmitter) in our body. L-dopa is a chemical that gets converted into dopamine in our body, hence it acts…

Indian scientists analysed the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas

Vijay Raman

Machine learning techniques used by scientists for modelling crustal deformations on the Tibetan Plateau have helped predict the velocity vectors of such movements and enhance characterisation of plate movements. Typically, a dense network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) is created to continuously monitor crustal deformation. Campaign-mode GPS surveys are often used to densify existing CORS networks. Installing stations at the desired location can be very challenging due to logistics problems and regional geographic importance. Moreover, the process is expensive, and studies on crustal activity are often hampered by data…
