1. Scientists discover new material for gen-next
data storage devices.
Traditional storage devices used polycarbonates (for CDs) and lasers to punch pits into them as data arrived. Each pit was read as a 0 and each ''flat'' as 1 by a photovoltaic cell that received reflected laser from pits. The current generated by the cell was used to provide input for audio and video devices. Rewritable CDs used metallic alloys that changed from amorphous to crystalline states under laser. These CDs and DVDs (and hard drives) used a different physical principle (modulating intermolecular forces that build lattice structure) than the one recently invented that uses electron disruption. With PEROVSKITE, we have a ferromagnetic - optical system of data transfer that is both compact and speedy. What would we call it? UltraDigital Disc (UD)?

2. Cheaper anti-stroke drug in the offing.single dose of the existing drugs used to
normalise the physical condition of a stroke patient costs around Rs 66,000
while the latest drug -tenecteplase, is expected to cost just Rs
28,000,which helps defuse the blood clot in the brain and give a lease of life
to the victims.
3. Baby
boomer" generation is healthier. Owing to increased trend in
obesity and diabetes, the rate of stroke has more than doubled among
Generation X -- the people born between 1965 and 1974, a research has found.In
contrast, the baby boomers -- born between 1945 and 1964 -- could be labelled
as "stroke-healthiest generation", as they were found to have
the lowest incidence of ischemic stroke. In fact, the 'baby boomers' were
healthier than those born 20 years before as well as 20 years after them.
