Scientists at the University of Glasgow have created what they call an artificial tongue that is meant to help cut down on the trade of counterfeit alcohol.
The artificial tongue is specifically designed to taste the subtle differences between types of whiskey.
The design of the device exploits the optical properties of gold and aluminum to test the whiskey.
The artificial tongue uses sub-microscopic slices of aluminum and gold arranged in a checkerboard pattern to act as the tastebuds.
The team poured samples of whiskey over the tastebuds, which are about 500,000 times smaller than human tastebuds, and measured how they absorbed light while submerged in the alcohol.
Statistical analysis of the subtle differences in how the metals in the artificial tongue absorb light, called plasmonic resonance, allows the team to identify different types of whiskey.
Leave it to the Scots to crack down on crooked scotch.
In a bid to stop the trade of counterfeit alcohol, scientists at the University of Glasgow have created an artificial tongue to taste-test different types of whiskey.
In a release from the university's School of Engineering, lead paper author Dr Alasdair Clark noted that while this isn't the first artificial tongue, his team is the first to incorporate two different types of nanoscale metal tastebuds.
"We call this an artificial tongue because it acts similarly to a human tongue – like us, it can't identify the individual chemicals which make coffee taste different to apple juice, but it can easily tell the difference between these complex chemical mixtures," Clark said.
Using subatomic slices of gold and aluminum to test the tipples, the research team created tastebuds 500 times smaller than a human's which were then able to successfully identify differences between drinks with greater than 99% accuracy.
The tongue even had enough taste to tell the difference between a Glenfiddich 12-year whiskey and an 18-year bottle.
But why specifically this article is speaking on women, because women are very sensitive and will have a quick effect on the brain and moreover they have the capacity to do multitasking work.
Alcohol numbs the nerves and makes them sleepy.
The nervous system including the sensory nerves becomes action there is a lack of vitality and the addicts slowly and gradually surrender moving on the path to self-destruction.
Though it is controversial some women say taking a glass of wine keeps them boosted mentally.
Researchers had reported recently in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) that quitting alcohol will keep women cognitively sound and healthy.
Herbert Pang, one of the study co-authors and an assistant professor at the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong, said with respect to moderate drinking the risks and benefits are not very clear, but one thing is sure, quitting alcohol will definitely keep women calm, cool and peaceful.
