"Nanotechnology is medicine's next transforming technology," says Gray, who oversees 360 scientists and engineers.


Good news for the people who are really afraid of vaccines or children who really cry for vaccination. News is Nanotechnology has given a new form of syrenges which are as thin as hair thickness and they say that it is thinner than that. By using these syrenges humans can feel no pain at all. The advantage of these injections are they can penetrate in smaller and smaller veins of the human body. It will still pierce the skin. The centimetre-square silicon device has thousands of ultra-sharp microscopic spikes coated with dried vaccine. When applied lightly, it would cause no pain because it penetrates less than a hair's thickness below the surface

The tiny spikes deliver vaccine close to where immune cells, known as dendritic cells, are found. Hypodermic injections, on the other hand, inject most of the vaccine too deep to activate these disease-fighters, making the vaccine less effective.

These injections are called nanopatch.

Gmail launches automatic email translation tool

Gmail, Google’s email service, has launched Message Translation, a service which automatically translates 41 languages.

The feature integrates Google Translate technology into Gmail and will appear within Gmail Labs as an experiment called “Message Translation”. It will be available to Gmail users around the world.

Message Translation will automatically translate email conversations between 41 languages, allowing people from different countries to conduct entire conversations in multiple languages. Each participant will be able to read the emails in whichever language they prefer.

The service will go some way to solving age-old problems of communication barriers between different nationalities, such as a holiday romances or friendships made while travelling.

Gmail is a free search-based email service that combines the features of email with Google’s search technology and supplies more than 7GB of free storage space.

It has launched a raft of new features this year through Gmail Labs, such as a take-back button for undoing a ‘send’ command. This tool holds the email for five seconds after you have pressed the send button and allows retrieval.

According to web monitoring company ComScore, more than 113 million use the service worldwide every month.
