Technical Hunt

The physicists at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) came up with a potential alternative energy source for charging household electronic gadgets with the help of T (Terahertz) waves. T waves are electromagnetic waves with high frequency produced by human bodies, WI-FI signals and all other inanimate object around us. These rays were earlier considered to be a waste of energy as there was no way to capture and convert them for charging purposes. The researchers at MIT initiated a visionary plan to convert these T waves into a form of electricity for powering household electronics. Graphene an allotrope of carbon was mixed with Boron Nitride, to understand the atomic behavior. The incoming T waves scatter the electrons inside the graphene, skewing their motion in a single direction, as a direct current (DC). The researchers have published their practical observation in the journal Science Advances and have teamed up with the experimentalists to turn this into a phy...

The radars are invisibly integrated behind bumpers in order to attain signal transparency. The Lohnert Elektronik, a leading specialist in custom test benches were looking for a reliable solution for losses in radars. High losses reduce the maximum range within which a radar can detect the obstacle.   Rhode & Schwarz quickly came up with an intellect solution to detect obstacles in order to prevent such marginal losses. The R&S QAR (Quality Automotive Randome) tester is an ideal R&D tool for identifying, measuring and analyzing the capabilities of the radar with scientific image processing. As Lohrent Elektronik integrates this technology into their legacy tester device, thus covering the entire test cycle with less than ten seconds. The radar signals operate usually in the range of 77 and 79 GHz bands (E band)....

Inside India's First 64MP Camera Realme  brought in India's First 64MP camera into the market broadening its marketing strategy and leveraging the Indian market with the features of premium flagships at an affordable rate. Realme mastered this idea in Realme XT model, which was announced on September 2019, at an emphatic price range starting at 15,999 (INR). The Phone has a Gorilla Glass 5 with a hyperbola curve back design. Loaded with a huge 4000 mAH battery and a support of 20W flash charger for fast charging. Inspite of these attractive features, the biggest USP for this device is its 64MP camera. The middle buyers have never ever witnessed a transition phase in the camera technology at such a domestic price.

The 64MP camera also has colour sensor filter with a standard Bayer R...

An idea that was once futuristic is now an everyday reality. Home automation gives the user remote access to their various devices in the house and the ability to control these devices from anywhere in the world! Right from the intensity of the lights to who gains access to the house at what time, the user can automate anything. In smart home technology, all the devices are connected to the main gateway panel over the internet in order to allow the user to access and control the use of the smart home devices. A home automation system is designed to be convenient, increase safety, and save energy.The other main characteristic of cutting-edge home automation is remote monitoring and access. While a limited amount of one-way remote monitoring has been possible for some time, it’s only since the rise in smartphones and tablets that we’ve had the ability to truly connect to our home networks while we’re away. With the right home automation system, you can use any Internet-connected...

Cloud computing involves delivering different types of services over the Internet. From software and analytics to secure and safe data storage and networking resources, everything can be delivered via the cloud. By using cloud storage, we don’t have to store the information on our own hard drive. Instead, we can access it from any location and download it onto any device of our choice, including laptops , tablets and smartphones. There are different types of cloud computing services available to suit different needs. While some cater to individual users who want to store photos, documents, and videos, others are destined for companies that need extensive platforms to develop IT applications. Cloud Computing Architecture Image Courtesy : Google Images Cloud computing is device independent because cloud computing resources can be accessed not just from any computer on the Internet, but also any type of computer. Provided that it has an Internet connection and a we...

Quantum mechanics emerged as a branch of physics in the early 1900s to explain nature on the scale of atoms and led to visionary inventions such as transistors, lasers, and magnetic resonance imaging. Hence after so much breakthrough discoveries quantum mechanics was merged with information theory leading to Quantum Computing. Superposition is the counter intuitive ability of a quantum object, like an electron, to simultaneously exist in multiple “states.” With an electron, one of these states may be the lowest energy level in an atom while another may be the first excited level. If an electron is prepared in a superposition of these two states it has some probability of being in the lower state and some probability of being in the upper. A measurement will destroy this superposition, and only then can it be said that it is in the lower or upper state. Components Associated With Quantum Computing                       ...
