The hypervisor is a fairly old technology, but it is still super relevant for enabling virtualization. The first hypervisors to provide full virtualization were developed by IBM in 1967. They were developed as a test tool (named SIMMON) for...
In the field of Information Technology, systems design involves the process of determining the architecture, interfaces, modules, and data for a system to fulfill certain requirements. It’s a crucial process for improving product/service...
The term ‘nanotechnology’ was first coined by Professor Norio Taniguchi in 1974. He was describing semiconductor processes that exhibit characteristic control on the order of a nanometer. How small is one nanometer? The human hair is...
As the name suggests, emerging technologies are the ones whose development and practical applications are widely unrealized. They represent progressive development in various fields, ranging from robotics and artificial intelligence to cognitive...
Scientists across the globe are pushing quantum computers forward, trying to arrive at the most powerful quantum computing technology. Tech giants, including Google and IBM, are racing for quantum supremacy. But why? Quantum machines can solve...
The concept of quantum systems was first proposed by a Russian mathematician, Yuri Manin, in 1980. However, it was Richard Feynman who conceived the possibility of quantum computers in the early 1980s. Feynmann proposed that quantum computers would...
NEMS (short for NanoElectroMechanical System) are devices that integrate electrical and mechanical functionality at the nanoscale, i.e., at or below 100 nanometers. They are the advanced level of miniaturization after MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical...
Quantum computers are not supposed to check your emails, update status, or do normal software/hardware tasks. Instead, they are based on something more complicated – Quantum Mechanics. Quantum computer deals with particles much smaller than...
The concept of 3D Printing was laid out by David E.H. Jones in 1974. However, methods and materials for fabricating models weren’t developed until the early 1980s. The term ‘3D printing’ covers numerous processes and techniques...
The terms Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) have become very common these days. They are often used interchangeably, especially while dealing with Big Data, analytics, and searching and indexing. Although...
