New Organic Transistor by X-ray Probe : Do Well in Hot Water

Recently, the scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) along with an international research team delineated the possibility of a new class of sterilizable, flexible, organic electronic materials  for medical applications by proving the stability of a novel and rugged thin-film membrane at high temperatures. The work conducted using a low-energy X-ray beam line, at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) in Brookhaven, N.Y., was supported by an international team led by...

IPv6 takes over IPv4

Ever since its introduction, internet has captured the imagination and lives of millions of users around the globe and is still growing steadfastedly. The Internet  operates by transferring data between hosts in packets that are routed across networks in accordance with specific  protocols. IP address of a host or user computer is a label assigned for host identification, just like a residential address. IPv6, a successor of IPv4, is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) which is currently used worldwide for internet trafficking. IPv4...

SR Flip Flop Conversion Techniques

SR Flip Flop is the basis of all other Flip Flop designs. But it has a major drawback that the output becomes not defined whenever both inputs S=R=1. Here we discuss how to convert a SR Flip Flop into JK and D Flip Flops. As you may know for T Flip Flop, both the inputs are same, which is a limitation in case both inputs are 1. So T Flip Flop cannot be realised here. The first thing that needs to...

INDIA STANDS TALL WITH THE SUCCESS OF AGNI 5

India has successfully launched her self developed long range ballistic missile AGNI 5. The AGNI 5 is a great addition to the AGNI series, which helps INDIA to get a prime position in the list of  Asian countries with long range missile capability. AGNI 5 is a missile that has a range of 5000 km and is solid fuelled. It is an Inter Continental Ballistic missile (ICBM) and is a great achievement to the DRDO. The 3 stage missile, which earlier was...

Inside a Crystal Oscillator…….!!

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses inverse piezoelectric effect, ie when electric field is applied across certain materials it produces mechanical deformation. Thus it uses mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric materiel to create an electric signal with very precise frequency. They have high stability, quality factor, small size and low cost and this makes them superior over other resonators like LC circuit, ceramic resonator, turning forks etc. This image show a 8MHz crystal oscillator commonly used in microcontrollers and microprocessors. Although...

Biodegradable Transistors made from Human Body !!!

A team of researchers including Ph.D. students Elad Mentovich and Netta Hendler of TAU’s Department of Chemistry and The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, with supervisor Dr. Shachar Richter and in collaboration with Prof. Michael Gozin and his Ph.D. student Bogdan Belgorodsky had developed a new generation of  nano-sized technology that are both flexible and biodegradable to replace silicon in the field of semiconductor electronics. Researchers have integrated cutting edge techniques from different fields of science to create protein based transistors....

Asus Memo 370T

Last January, Nvidia and Asus came up with a product that may change everything. Now the tablet in question has been identified as the new Asus Memo 370T which is actually an upgraded version of the 7-inch stylus-supported Memo tablet Asus debuted at CES 2011. The then showcased tablet ran on Honeycomb and utilized a dual-core Qualcomm 8260-1.2Ghz CPU, while the much awaited 370T will come with Ice Cream Sandwich and houses a Nvidia Tegra 3,even though the actual speed...

3D Printing Technology or Stereo Lithography

3D printing technology or Stereo lithography is the process of printing  3dimensional figures by the method of layer deposition. 3D printing is achieved by employing additive processes, where an object is developed by laying down successive layers of material. Three Dimensional Printing requires Rapid Prototyping (RP) for the creation of the functional parts and tooling directly from a CAD model. Until now, 3D printing has been extensively used for building moulds/ prototypes for industrial applications and numerous other places. With the advent of...
