Scientists have discovered the mystery behind the fact that why mosquitoes bite some people more than the other. It is said that mosquitoes use three organs to smell and taste- a feathery antenna which can identify a wide range of different chemicals, a proboscis used for short-range detection and the maxillary palp for longer range smelling. The maxillary palp contains a series of highly specialized receptor cells used to detect the different components of human body odour. To the mosquitoes some people’s sweat smells better than others because of the proportion of carbon dioxide, octenol and other compounds that make up the body odour. It is those people who are more bitten than others.

Laboratory on Mars

Nasa now plans to launch a scientific laboratory on Mars. Mars Phoenix Lander will be the first spacecraft to land in the northern polar region of the planet and dig for evidence of the water or other conditions that could support life. If the lander touches down safely after its 10-months journey, it will spend 3-months or longer probing the ground and monitoring the weather above.

Keep aside all your worries to be caught in bad weather or get drenched in rain. You can now carry the Met office in your hand. An American firm has developed an umbrella that not only keeps you dry when it is raining but also tells you when it is going to rain.
Ambient Devices,specialized in integrating Internet information into every day products, has made an umbrella with a built-in radio receiver in its handle that receives weather data for 150 American locations from forecasting site Accuweather.com through a proprietary wireless network.
The umbrella’s handle would lit up if there is a forecast of rain within the next 12 hours. Soft intermittent pulses in the handle mean a forecast of light rain while a very rapid, intense pattern signal makes you aware of the thunderstorms ahead.You can place this umbrella anywhere, be it by the door or in an umbrella stand. You can also carry it with yourself while going out so that it keeps you informing the climatic conditions.

The Ambient umbrella is battery operated and it requires activation via a customer service phone line. It is great evidence to the fact that the intelligence of the internet can also be put into everyday objects.

Though the umbrella costs you $140 but would you mind to cough up that amount to save your favorite party dress from being drenched and spoiled?
