Battery technology has improved a lot these days. But if there is one thing people will never be able to get enough of it is the promise of prolonged battery life. Wouldn’t it be great if our laptops and smartphones lasted a whole week of...
To understand anti-aliasing, we first need to understand the concept of aliasing. You may have experienced pixelated or jagged edges on your screen while watching videos or playing video games. These ‘jaggies’ are known as aliasing. It...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Bosque language aims to improve software quality and enhance programmers’ productivity. It gets rid of sources of complexity like mutable state, reference equality, and loops. It is inspired by TypeScript and JavaScript programming languages...
