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 to describe both a category of...
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 world of electronics is about to change a lot. Technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing are making things more exciting and different. It’s like a fast and thrilling evolution in the world of electronics. Over...
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...
6G is the sixth-generation wireless technology for digital cellular networks. 6G will utilize the upper limits of the radio spectrum and support 1 Tbps (terabytes per second) speeds. It will bring down the latency of communication to one...
The number of security threats is increasing day by day, making high speed wired/wireless network insecure and unreliable. According to the study conducted at the University of Maryland, hackers attack internet-connected devices every 39 seconds on...
If you are an intense gamer, you may have come across a confusing option in graphics settings. It’s called VSync, and it very hard to guess what it actually does and why this option is provided. Short Description: VSync stands for Vertical...
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...
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...
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...
