Bionic Eye & Lanes Introduction Bionic eye is a bio-electronic eye. Bionic eye replaces the functionality of a part or whole of the eye. An external camera is worn on a pair of dark glasses which sends the images in digital form to the radio receiver placed in the eye. The radio receiver is attached to the implant chip on the retina. The implantation is of two types, epiretinal implant and subretinal implant, based on whether the implant is placed on or behind the retina. In our proposed method of bionic eye, a small and a powerful camera powered by nanogenerator, is implanted inside the patient’s eye rather than worn on a pair of glasses. The camera is small and consumes very low power. *The Human eye Structure and function The Human eyes operate on the same principle as that of a camera. The Human eye is an organ that reacts to light for several purposes. The Human eye ball is roughly spherical in shape. The important part of the eye responsible for the vision is th...

New antibiotic in 30 years discovered in major breakthrough(Texiobactin) Introduction The first new antibiotic to be discovered in nearly 30 years has been hailed as a ‘paradigm shift’ in the fight against the growing resistance to drugs. teixobactin  has been discovered by scientists who claim it appears to be as good, or even better, than many existing drugs with the potential to work against a broad range of fatal infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Teixobactin has been found to treat many common bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, septicaemia and C. diff, and could be available within five years. But more importantly it could pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics because of the way it was discovered. Chemical Structure Scientists have always believed that the soil was teeming with new and potent antibiotics because bacteria have developed novel ways to fight off other microbes. Laboratory tests have shown the new antibiot...
