Humans waste a lot of food, some of which is due to spoilage. Researchers have developed a tiny sensor that monitors the freshness of protein-rich foods like meat, chicken and fish in real time and sends the data to your smartphone. The device has the … Continue reading Sensor detects food spoilage in real time & sends info to your phone
For women on the oral contraceptive pill, mood changes are common and can be a reason why they stop taking it. A new study has found a link between taking the combined oral contraceptive pill and the risk of depression, especially in younger women.Cont… Continue reading Contraceptive pill linked to depression risk, especially in younger women
