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...
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 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...
A New AI model can fabricate talking avatars from a single image. Developers applied this model to popular paintings, including Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa. The outcomes have some visual glitches, but they are far impressive than previous...
Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, or MEMS, is a miniature device or machine that is made of both mechanical and electrical components, using techniques of microfabrication. The term ‘MEMS’ is often used for describing both a category of...
A proxy server acts as a gateway between you and the internet. It hides your real IP address from the resource server, adding an extra layer of privacy. It is mostly used for bypassing filters and censorship. If you have ever been a part of a...
The term haptic is derived from the Greek word “haptikos”, which means a sense of touch. The sense of touch can be categorized as active and passive. Haptic is mostly associated with active touch to communicate or recognize items. It may...
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is currently the most popular and widely adopted symmetric encryption algorithm. It was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Vincent Rijmen and Joan Daemen. If properly implemented, the algorithm is...
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...
