Hologram - A Journey of Illusion

Hello Buddy, Television has brought many changes our lives. We gain a lot of things from it let it be Good or Bad. But yet it is still the most interesting thing even to a 3 year baby. We believe what we see and so here is the technology being developed called 3D Holograms . Two Days ago, I came through a Video sent in one of my Whats app group. The video reminded me of the project I was working on ( Still want to work further) exactly a year ago. I always wanted to work on the Hologram Technology. It was about a company named Kino-mo which build Holograms and are ready in the market for Advertisers and Marketeers . I was amazed seeing the Quality of work they have done. Although the technique used by them was a bit old but the picture quality is brilliant. The hologram was based on Persistence of Vision . In our college we have an IEEE Student Branch which hosts many inspiring events like STAC (Student Technical Awareness Conference) . Last Year I got the chance t

Reversing Paralysis

ગુજરાતીમાં વાંચો Hello everyone, Have you heard of anyone paralysed able to use organ again, well it is possible now!! A French neuroscientist was watching a monkey as it hunched aggressively at one end of a treadmill. His team had used a blade to slice halfway through the animal’s spinal cord, paralyzing its right leg. Now Courtine wanted to prove he could get the monkey walking again. To do it, he and colleagues had installed a recording device beneath its skull, touching its motor cortex, and sutured a pad of flexible electrodes around the animal’s spinal cord, below the injury. A wireless connection joined the two electronic devices. The result: a system that could read the monkey’s intention to move and then transmit it in the form of bursts of electrical stimulation to its spine. Soon the monkey’s right leg began to move. Extend and flex. Extend and flex.“The monkey was thinking, and then boom, it was walking”. They are wirelessly connecting the brain-reading tech

Hot Solar cell

Hello Everyone, Solar panels cover a growing number of rooftops, but even decades after they were first developed, the slabs of silicon remain bulky, expensive, and inefficient. Fundamental limitations prevent these conventional photovoltaics from absorbing more than a fraction of the energy in sunlight. But a team of MIT scientists has built a different sort of solar energy device that uses inventive engineering and advances in materials science to capture far more of the sun’s energy. The trick is to first turn sunlight into heat and then convert it back into light, but now focused within the spectrum that solar cells can use. Standard silicon solar cells mainly capture the visual light from violet to red. That and other factors mean that they can never turn more than around 32 percent of the energy in sunlight into electricity. The MIT device is still a crude prototype, operating at just 6.8 percent efficiency but with various enhancements it could be roughly twice as

Morning Tech Rituals

Hey Buddy ! It is always a good thing to stay up to date in this fast growing world. Being a tech geek I go through this Tech Portals daily after my morning rituals. Here is the list below which I follow and you can also benefit by taking a glance at once.   Tech-Crunch Silicon Valley Indiegogo    Economy Times Kickstarter   Gadgets Now
