Scientists grow a piece of heart in lab, and it beats




The model by scientists that mimics the human heart's left ventricle.


Engineers have managed to grow a piece of the human heart in a miniature form. And it beats! Researchers from University of Toronto and University of Montreal in Canada reverse-engineered a millimetre-long vessel that beats like a biological vessel. The vessel pumps fluid "like the muscular exit-chamber of an embryo's heart", ScienceAlert reported. "With our model, we can measure ejection volume - how much fluid gets pushed out each time the ventricle contracts — as well as the pressure of the fluid,” Sargol Okhovatian, a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto, said. The model can be used to study heart diseases and test out therapies without the need for invasive surgery. The model was developed in a lab using synthetic and biological materials. The cells were procured from cardiovascular tissues of rats. The structure mimics the left ventricle.

How to remember the charge of cation and anion

Image
A charge are mainly two types: 1) Positive (+) 2) Negative (-) In chemistry, we consider a positive charged is called Cation and negative charge  is called Anion. Many students are confused in this case. So this trick you apply to remembering a charge of cation and anion. Let's start, 1) Anion    This trick you apply for learn a      charge of Anion. 2) Cation - If Anion is negative, it                      means Cation is positive. Now, we see how to remember a charge on electrode. Electrode are mainly two types: 1) Cathode 2) Anode Anion is negative charge but Anode is positive charge electrode. You see, In above case anion charge is opposite of anode charge. So, you learn in this way if anion is negative charge so, anode is positive charge electrode. Cation is positive charge but Cathode is negative charge electrode. You see, In above case cation charge is opposite of Cathode charge. So, you learn in this way if cation is positive charge so, cathode is negative charge electrode.

What  is Hacking? Hacking refers to the unauthorized access to, or manipulation of, a computer system, network, or database with the intent to steal sensitive information, cause harm, or perform other malicious activities. It is a criminal act that violates privacy and security laws and can result in severe consequences. Note : You can also translate this page in any language by tapping sidebar and then select your language. Why Hacking is Illegal? Hacking is illegal because it involves accessing computer systems and networks without authorization. This can include accessing private information, stealing sensitive data, or disrupting the normal functioning of a system. Unauthorized access to computer systems and networks is a violation of computer crime laws in many countries. These laws prohibit a wide range of activities, including unauthorized access, unauthorized control of a computer system, unauthorized interception of computer communications, and unauthorized use of computer s

''जब तानसेन की तानाशाही को एक बच्चे ने खत्म किया''

Image
प्रस्तुत कहानी सम्राट अकबर के सुप्रसिद्ध रागी तानसेन द्वारा निर्धारित किए गए राग-विद्या के नियम पर आधारित है। उसकी बराबरी करने वाला हर व्यक्ति मौत के घाट उतार दिया जाता था। ऐसी स्थिति में एक छोटे से बालक ने अपने पिता को इसी कारणवश बचपन में खो दिया था। प्रतिशोध की अग्नि में जलता हुआ बैजू बावरा होकर नवयौवन के उस पड़ाव तक आ पहुँचा, जब उसका सामना तानसेन से प्रतियोगिता के रूप में हुआ। बैजू बावरा की सम्मोहिनी आवाज़ ने सबके हृदय उद्वेलित कर दिए और तानसेन को अपने चरणों में गिरने को विवश कर दिया। प्रभात का समय था, आसमान से बरसती हुई जीवन की किरणें संसार में नवीन जीवन का संचार कर रही थीं। बारह घंटों के लगातार संग्राम के बाद प्रकाश ने अँधेरे पर विजय प्राप्त की थी। इस खुशी में फूल झूम रहे थे और पक्षी मीठे गीत गा रहे थे। पेड़ों की शाखाएँ खेलती थीं और पत्ते तालियाँ बजाते थे। चारों तरफ़ प्रकाश नाचता था। चारों तरफ़ खुशियाँ झूमती थीं। चारों तरफ़ गीत गूँजते थे। इतने में साधुओं की एक मंडली शहर के अंदर दाखिल हुई। ये लोग जो मस्तमौला, ईश्वरभक्त और हरि भजन के मतवाले थे, संसार से बंधन तोड़ चुके थे, और अपने मन
