Large and complex software projects use various coding standards and guidelines. These guidelines establish the ground rules that must be followed while writing software. Usually, they determine: a) How should the code be structured? b) Which...
A data breach is a security incident in which private/confidential information is viewed, copied, transmitted, or used by an unauthorized individual. This may involve personally identifiable information, personal health information, financial...
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 world runs on code and ciphers. From your private conversations to online transactions, cryptography is involved in almost everything you do digitally. In fact, life, as we know today, would not be possible without it. Cryptography is the...
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...
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...
