Time to go faster...

Now the time has come to speed up things little. Intel has made a new storage chip which is 1000 time faster than flash memory. You can imagine how fast it will be.

Intel and Micron have a new way to store data that they say is denser,tougher and faster than the already existing flash drives, and it's already started production. 3D XPoint technology is the first new mainstream memory chip to come to market in 25 years. The chipmakers will send samples of the product to potential customers later this year.

The new memory is aimed at making it faster for computers to access and work with enormous amount of data created by an increasing number of devices connected to one another and the Internet. It will also help to improve data related tasks such as real-time tracking of disease and immersive realistic gaming, the company said. Existing type of memory are either too expansive or aren't fast enough for such tasks, so this development will reduce the cost and increase the speed.

"For decades, the industry has searched for ways to reduce the lag time between the processor and data to allow much faster analysis," said Intel VP Rob Crooke in a statement. "This new class of non-volatile memory archives this goal and bring game-changing performance to memory and storage solutions."

Are 3 dimensions not enough..??

You must be thinking what i am asking "Are 3 Dimenshion Less..??" But what can i do my today's topic is about 4D Printing, so yes it is less. So what is this 4th Dimension?

The aim of so-called "4D printing" is to extend additive manufacturing to the dimension of time. The idea of 4D printing is to create 3D objects with the specific materials which can change their dimensions according to its outer environment long after it has been printed from the 3D printer for example, you can build a valve that shut down when a hot water hits it.

Researcher at the University of Wollongong, Australia have created a 3D printer compatible hydrogel that is mechanically tough and able to repeatedly change shape in response to water temperature. The scientists have demonstrated the technology by 3D printing an autonomous water valve, but the material could also be used to create soft robot, custom design sensor and self-assembling macrostructure. Example of 4D printing have included simple self-assembling bodies that fold together when baked, polymers that bend into shape in response to water, heat or pressure, and smart strands inspired by self-assembling nanostructure

Tell Me Computer "Does God Exist??"..

You will be thinking why did i choose my heading to be it, so let me tell you that the generation of computers has been came to that level where you can ask it questions like it and it will answer you. You will be thinking what i am saying i am mad or what, but its true "The Platinum age of Quantum Computing is upon us".

Quantum computing studies theoretical computing systems (quantum computers ) that make direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomenon, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operation on data. Digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1), quantum computation uses quantum bits (qubits), which can be in superpositions of states. 

There are a number of technical challenges in building a large-scale quantum computer, and thus far quantum computers have yet to solve a problem faster than a classical computer. David DiVincenzo, of IBM, listed the following requirements for a practical quantum computer:

• scalable physically to increase the number of qubits;

• qubits that can be initialized to arbitrary values;

• quantum gates that are faster than decoherence time;

• universal gate set;

• qubits that can be read easily.

But let me tell you most of the important hurdles which were coming in the path of making quantum computers has been solved. In April 2015 IBM scientists claimed two critical advances towards the realization of a practical quantum computer. They claimed the ability to detect and measure both kinds of quantum errors simultaneously, as well as a new, square quantum bit circuit design that could scale to larger dimensions.

Future of Telescopes

Most of you must be knowing about the The Hubble Telescope, it was a great invention in the history. But as the time is changing the technology is also advancing so to cope up with the time there is a need of new telescope which can enable a broad range of investigation across the field of astronomy and comology.

So, The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), previously known as Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) successor of The Hubble Telescope is a space observatory under construction and sheduled to launch in Octuber 2018. The JWST will offer unprecedented resolution and sensitivity from long-wavelength visible to the mid-infrared.

Right now, scientists and engineers are piecing Webb together, creating through cutting - edge technology an innovative observatory that not only withstand intense cold, but use it to its advantages.

The first realistic budget estimates were that the observatory would cost $1.6 billion and launch in 2011.  In 2011, the United States House of Representatives voted to terminate funding, after about $3 billion had been spent . Funding was restored in compromise legislation with the US Senate, and spending on the program was capped at $8 billion. NASA, ESA and CSA have collaborated on the telescope since 1996.

Participating Countries :- Austria, Germany, Portugal, US, UK, France, Spain , Italy, Sweden, Greece and many other.

Time to get rid of wires

The era of wireless things have begun from a century, wireless phones, wireless Communication, wireless phone charging, etc. So its the time get rid of the charging wires also. So as most of you know that wireless charging has came to your mobiles but its time to bring it to the laptops, so you don’t need to carry all those heavy brick like chargers where ever you take your laptops.

Intel is developing circuitry required for wireless charging in laptops. PC makers like Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Panasonic are backing the idea, and more are expected to offer wireless charging in PCs.

The Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) is an independently operated, not-for-profit organization dedicated to building a global wireless charging ecosystem based on Rezence™ technology.

Asus, Intel, Dell, HP and many more giant pc companies have joined A4WP to go to the next generation of PC where everyone can charge there PCs or Laptops without any wires and without those heavy chargers. So guys just a matter of time that you can charge your laptops wireless. 

The awesomeness of MEMS

The new trend of miniaturization has led to the development of the micromechatronic system which are robust and compact in nature. These devices tend to bring down the scale of electro-mechanical device to the scale of microns. MEMS are also referred to as micromachines, made up of components between 1 to 100 micrometres in size. They usually consist of a central unit that processes data (the microprocessor) and several components that interact with the surroundings such as microsensors.

The major classification of these devices are sensors and actuators. MEMS manufacturing technologies :- Bulk Micromachining, Surface Micromachining, High aspect ratio (HAR) Sillicon Micromachining

The national MEMS design centre of SRM Univrersity , Chennai is working currently on the development of micro pumps and microvalves which would prove useful in the near future for microfluidic manipulation and many automation applications.

Memristor

The theoretical Memister is ready to come alive. From 1971 t0 2015 a great journey of Leon Chaun dream to create a microscopic component that remember its "history" is going to come true. The next greatest technology which will be faster & cheaper than Flash Driver.

The Memristor is a key component in taking memory storage to next level. When the electric power supply is turned off, the memristor remembers its most recent resistance until it is turned on again. And it will allow computer to make decision by understanding past pattern of data it has collected.

And according to the most resent news, HP is making "The Machine" a new type of memory-driven computer it thinks will radically alter large-scale data processing. When the company first launched it last year, the plan was to use a new kind of memory chip called the "Memristor" which is as fast as DRAM but can permanently store data.
