Can Huawei Be A Competitor For Samsung And Apple??

Today I came across a new technological news in the television. Actually it is about a Phone. It says The Huawei smartphone company have launched a new smartphone to the mobile industry. The name they have given is Huawei Mate 20 Pro.  Most of the time what he did was comparing the features with iPhone Max or with Samsung. At that time what I thought was, "is this phone is that much good to compare with these giants." I really need to find the features of this phone. It seems like Huawei is innovating to cope with the race between the smartphone companies. Okay, if you take a look at these phones they are all, look alike with their sleek body, small top notch ( Actually the new Samsung note 9 has no top notch) tempting designs etc. If you like to get a clear vision about the best smartphone among these three you must be a person who knows everything about smartphones, from head to toe. ( Honestly I'm not that kind ) Here are something that I understood from this

This USB Stick Can Perform HIV Test With 95% Accuracy In 20 Minutes


The scientists at Imperial College of London have been able to
develop a new type of HIV test
that’s based on a USB stick. Developed with the help of UK biotech company DNA Electronics, this USB stick is a great improvement over the current tests.
Usually, for tests, the patients send their fluids to a lab and they need to wait for days or weeks to receive the reports. This tiny USB device does the same in less than 30 minutes with 95 percent accuracy rate. It is being considered a breakthrough in HIV treatment as the timely detection of viremia in the infected patients is the key to ensuring medication.
To test the HIV levels, the patient needs to put a drop of blood on the USB disk. As the test is pH-based, the changes in the acidity levels of the metal in the USB are noted by a chip in the stick. Changes are converted into an electrical signal and sent to a computer or other hand-held devices.





Talking about the technicalities, the USB drive has a “complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip based, pH-mediated, point-of-care HIV-1 viral load monitoring assay that simultaneously amplifies and detects HIV-1 RNA.” The study on the same has been published in Scientific Reports.
The current form of this test looks more beneficial to the users who already know that they have the virus. This test can help them to administer timely medication and keep a close eye on the HIV levels. The USB can also be used to carry out HIV tests in the inaccessible or rural areas.
