According to the reports since 2000, the increase in the number of cars has also increased the amount of accidents all over the word. In USA alone, the number of accidents is more than 110 million and almost 1 million of them have been highly fatal. This clearly shows that car crashes is one of […]
A lot has been explained about Nanotechnology and its various researches in CircuitsToday.com. In a study in ACS’s journal Scientists, another major advancement of Nanotechnology has been explained. According to the study, a new self-powered nano-device has been developed which has the ability to transmit data in wireless mode at very long distances. The device
The brain and heart may be the vital parts of our body, but the external force that controls the whole body is electricity. Electricity is responsible for the neuron firing and the transmission of current by the heart. The use of electrodes for the monitoring of various activities in our body has not yet been
With the help of researchers and biologists from the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, the world’s first living laser has been developed. The laser, which emits a green light, has been obtained by coaxing single cells that includes special proteins that act as an optical amplifier. The figure below shows the microscopic image
Image From We have heard of a lot of approaches where the heat and unwanted stuffs from vehicles and factories are converted to useful energy. But, there has not been a well defined system till now that is able to convert all these wasted heat into useful energy with high efficiency rates. The
An op-amp is usually used as a comparator in cases where its speed and accuracy are not critical. As illustrated in the earlier post (OP-AMP COMPARATOR), the switching speed of the op-amp comparator can be improved and noise can also be eliminated. The offset problems can also be reduced by adding a voltage compensating network
This circuit is designed and submitted by Mr. Rakesh Bute. We are really thankful for his contribution. The circuit as explained by Rakesh: The design came from the interest of finding a new technique of analog to digital conversion. The two types of ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) that inspired me in the development of
Here comes a device that uses “phase-change†memory solid state device that provides a way better performance than the conventional hard discs and other solid state drives (SSD) used today. The device also known as Moneta was developed in Jacobs School of Engineering, UC San Diego. Due to its success, the developers have decided to
We have always been scared about our mobiles and computers getting hacked. Now it is time to know that there will be a time in the near future where people can easily hack cars. The car designs are becoming more and more sophisticated and you can also notice the change of simple mechanical automobile designs
Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) – Introduction GDT’s are special type of gas filled tubes used for wide range of electronic/electrical circuits for providing protection against lightning and other power surges. These tubes basically has two electrodes that are kept inside a gas filled closed envelope. In case of electronic applications, the container is mostly ceramic
All the possible technologies come in the form of gadgets in automobiles like cars. These gadgets not only help in reducing accidents, but may also make the car more luxurious and comfortable. Some cars like the latest BMW X5 has almost 50 latest technologies integrated inside which no other cars can even think about. There
Our days of exploiting non-renewable sources of energy for electricity are going to end soon!! The reason?? – BLOOM BOX 😀 It may sound like some small generator box but a whopping $400,000,000 has already been invested for developing this technology all around the world. The idea behind this technology was proposed by a rocket
Refurbished Electronics Suppose you are looking for a new laptop for your college. You have a brand in mind, but is a little too expensive for your budget. You leave the idea behind and search a web portal for a laptop with lesser features of memory and processor for your budget. This is when you
Wireless Power Transmission Most of us at home maybe using multi-plug to connect all the electronic devices with power cords. You may have even got confused to get the right cord for unplugging it among the other cords that lead to the same outlet. At last you pull one out and hope that it is
The U.S. Geological Survey has been keeping a record of all the satellite images since 1972. This record contains all the tracks of changes that have occurred globally in the field of agriculture, cartography, geology, forestry, regional development, education, and national security. These images have been a proof of the global changes that has occurred
The web technology has become so advanced that data can be transferred in seconds from one device to another and that too within seconds. The fame of social networking sites has attracted people to upload millions of photos and videos from all over the world. One of the most common type of data transferring method
Superconductors It has been a century since the discovery of Superconductors. The discovery was made by Heike Onnes on April 8th, 1911 at the Leiden Cryogenic Laboratory in Netherlands. The first experiment involved the immersing of a mercury capillary in liquid helium. In this experiment, Heike Onnes noticed the resistance of the mercury dropping to
Nanotechnology has once again proved its worth in the medical field. Researchers had recently developed a solution that can be rubbed on the skin to remove all bacteria’s that cannot be killed by the existing antibiotics and drugs. More advanced studies have led to the discovery of a microbial agent that can be directly injected
Introduction An IR Blaster is a device that functions or imitates an IR Remote Control in its features. This device is used to control other devices. If this device is connected to a PC, it can be used to control all the other IR devices that are present in the room with the help of
StunRay Technology We have seen movies where a suspect points the gun at the cops who are forced to shoot him to save their own lives. Due to this, either one or both of them get hurt. A new technology (also can be called as a weapon) called StunRay has been developed by a company
The concept of transforming solar energy directly into fuel is not easy. The method was tried out by researchers for the past decade and many prototypes were developed. But all the past attempts had some basic problems like life span, cost and efficiency and even the combination of all three. Some ideas remained intact as
Electric charging of a Chevy Volt The main idea behind using electric vehicles [EV’s] is to stop the use of non-renewable source of energy like gasoline. For this purpose, all automobile companies are trying their best to develop electric as well as hybrid cars so that the use of gasoline can be restricted to a
As explained earlier, the nanomaterials are lighter, stronger and long lasting than other materials. This advantage has been exercised in replacing the aluminium body of airplanes with composite materials including nanomaterials.
