A New Technique Which Replaced Flash Memory
A study and research work made at Arizona State University directed the thoughts of scientists to develop a new memory technology which could replace the flash memory which is being used in the world nowadays. This memory is having 1000 times more storage capacity than the flash. This new technology is introduced in the market by the name of PMC - programmable metallization cell. This memory device could be used in digital cameras, MP3 playe...
Cure Has Been Invented For Blindness
Good news for the eye-patients who have gone blind due to retina damage or disease. German scientists have successfully created wireless bionic eyeball recently, which will restore vision of that kind of eye-patients. It took 12 years of deep research work by the scientists to create this new prosthetic device for the eye-patients. This is named as “bionic eyeball” and it would be fully implanted in the body. This will bypass the dam...
Fastest Supercomputer of the World (Part 2)
This was the result of the continuous research work of IBM and Los Alamos engineers on the computer technology. Turek described their research work in these words; "We took the basic chip design (of a PlayStation) and advanced its capability" The whole arrangement of this computing machine occupies 6,000 square feet space; 57 miles of fiber optics which is weighing to 500,000 pounds. Average quality materials and parts are used in thi...
Aircraft Stays in the Air for five Years
DARPA is going to sign a contract to engineer an unmanned aircraft that would be able to remain in the air for continuous five years; that was a statement given by the officials of Flight Global. The representatives from DARPA gave it the name of “Vulture”. They characterized their creation by saying that it would be having pseudo-satellite features. The aircraft would be able fly over a specific area with full capabilities of communicatin...
Fastest Supercomputer of the World (Part 1)
World’s fastest supercomputer has been produced. This $100 million machine practically performed 1,000 trillion calculations in one second in repeated and sustained tests for different applications. This big technological discovery has been made by the joint scientific research work of Los Alamos National Laboratory and IBM Corp. This high-speed computer will be primarily used for nuclear weapons work like simulating nuclear explosions. ...
Magnetic Field of Earth Will Be Used For Future Satellites (Part 2)
To practically see the feasibility of this idea, the researchers put the test satellite in a vacuum chamber at SUNY Binghamton; then they shot the charge ions on this satellite in the same way as it happen in the outer space. No chemical propellant are used in this system, however it doesn’t mean that this is a fuel-less device. It has radioactive material – Americium 241 – which emits charged particles; it is also having electric dev...
Magnetic Field of Earth Will be Used for Future Satellites (Part 1)
The news comes of wind-tunnel test. This test was made on experimental satellite propulsion system; in which satellite uses the earth’s magnetic force to move around the earth instead of chemical propellants. In the experiment the experimental satellite exploded with the flying hot metal pieces. Despite of this failure of experiment, NASA-funded machine was improved to much better form; representing the new satellite discovery influencing...
Recycling Of Carbon Dioxide Part 2
Geoffrey Coates of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY suggested and emphasized to polymerize CO2 directly. The chemicals substances used in the CO2-based processes are obtained from fossil fuel origins. So it lessens the amount of petroleum used in these processes. To fully eliminate the need of petroleum origin substances, he used epoxide. This substance was obtained from the oil present in orange peels and was used in the plastic manufactur...
Recycling Of Carbon Dioxide Part 1
Carbon is a very productive thing and found in abundance in oil and coal. These energy source materials are used to produce many useful things like fuel, plastics, paints, detergents, pharmaceuticals and many others; this is long list. But unfortunately, the big percentage of this carbon dioxide could not be used for productive results and ends up going into air out of chimneys and is totally useless. This amount of carbon changes the climate ...

A New Malware For Mobile Devices
A new Window Mobile Trojan has been discovered by F-Secure Security Laboratory. This has been given a name of “Infojack” and is also known as Trojan WinCE/InfoJack. This is a new and first discovery for mobile devices. Earlier, a number of donwloaders for PCs has been released, but for mobile devices it is the first discovery. InfoJack is a strong Trojan and can seriously affect windows mobile devices. This worm leaks information from mob...
Basic Input Output System Overview
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. Memory (RAM) commonly uses this system. BIOS is pronounced as BYE-OSE. BIOS is present in every computer system. It is responsible for having all information of the system (hardware). In fact BIOS is a chip consisting of electronic circuit. This circuit encapsulates the set of instructions. These BIOS instructions are utilized when operating system start operating. BIOS is located on the motherboar...
