Commercial nanoelectronics device manufacturing is very expensive, with fabrication facilities costing up to 17 billions and requiring massive quantities of water and power. The cost of the next fabrication in Taiwan is projected to reach $20 billion. Meanwhile, the Internet of Things (IoT) where a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, electronics,
One of mankind’s most recent and important daily requirements, electricity, comes from exhaustible and non-renewable sources of energy like nuclear energy, natural gas, fossil fuels, petroleum products, etc. To cater to this problem, among other problems, an innovative method of hybrid energy generation has been developed.
The design and experimental analysis of the hybrid power generating structure,
The first classical transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947, which gave rise to the electronics industry of the 20th century. However, Moore’s law – which has described the rapid technological developments of this industry – will soon come to an end. Once the features of the transistor hardware are reduced in length to approximately ten atoms across,
Bug-out boat, really?
Our initial scoffing aside, we have bowed to pressure from some folks who are adamant about having a 'go to' place when there are unexpected events by natural or human havoc. It can be parked on land, trucked elsewhere, float in a pond or ply lakes and coastal waters.
This entry is for developing a persistent near space solid lighter than air reconnaissance and communications platform that would in many instances take the place of a satellite, be considerably more maneuverable, cheaper to make and operate, and produce better quality images while lingering in trouble spots indefinitely.
After life of a person, some people go through psychological issues which affect their health & personality. We can reduce that pain & probably speed up recovery of health by simulating a desirable environment using audio & video.
Do you want to live after life & stay connected with your grandchildren?

In modern society, speed of information circulation is increasingly critical. Responding to this need, I have designed a project that serves both police and citizens in saving time, security and effort.
This project aims to develop a security system on all vehicles;
Our Project, Sign Language Interpreter, is a hardware-cum-software device that converts sign language into text and audio. Basically, this project is designed for deaf and dumb people. This can include hand gestures, their movements, orientation of fingers and facial expression to convey what the person is trying to say. It follows American Sign Language.
