Future With IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of things (probably i should call “physical objects”) that has software,sensors, and network connectivity embedded in it, which enables these objects to interact each other and exchange data.

The Internet of Things create opportunities for direct integration between the physical world and computer or smartphone-based systems by allowing these objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy.

GOOGLE  highlighted the following applications under consideration: 
  • Machine-to-machine communication
  • Machine-to-infrastructure communication
  • Telehealth: remote or real-time pervasive monitoring of patients, diagnosis and drug delivery
  • Continuous monitoring of, and firmware upgrades for, vehicles
  • Asset tracking of goods on the move
  • Automatic traffic management
  • Remote security and control
  • Environmental monitoring and control
  • Home and industrial building automation
  • “Smart” applications, including cities, water, agriculture, buildings, grid, meters, broadband, cars, appliances, tags, animal farming and the environment, to name a few 

    THIS IS ALL ABOUT SMARTNESS 
    There is no IoT without the word “smart”. Making an object smart enough reduces human efforts and saves lot of time. This is why we go for IoT. This is the future. 

    The following are the few examples IoT gadgets:

                                                                                         




                                                                                             
                                                                                           
     


                                                                                        
     
    As per the list of countries by IoT devices online per 100 inhabitants as published by the OECD in 2015 INDIA falls under 24th rank with 0.6 Devices Online ,which is very less when compared to other developed and under developing countries

    Kevin Ashton coined "Internet of Things" phrase to describe a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world via ubiquitous sensors

    How Ubiquitous? 
    Gartner: “IoT Installed Base Will Grow to 26 Billion Units By 2020.”  That number might be too low.
    Every mobile, Every auto, Every door, Every room Every sensor in every device in every table, bed, chair or bracelet in every home, office, building or hospital  in every country, city, village on this planet.
                                                               video source

    The Challenges
    • Lightweight protocols for devices to work together, communicate 

    • Unique and extensible identifiers for all those billions of devices

    • Cybersecurity


    Every one of those sensor and control points is generating data. Often, it's very informative and very private data. Systems are needed to help those devices talk to each other, manage all that data, and enforce proper access control.
    Hope this is helpful and you like it ☺

Stronger,harder,lighter Graphene

Image Source A form of carbon consisting of planar sheets which are one atom thick, with the atoms arranged in a honeycomb shaped lattice                            Wikipedia has a simple definition for graphene , "it is an allotrope of carbon, in the form 2-D atomic scale,hexagonal lattice" Actually, carbon is capable of forming allotropes due to it's valency. Most famous allotropes includes diamond and graphite . Many researches help to discover more forms of carbon in different shapes including ball shapes such as Buckminsterfullerene and sheets such as graphene . Nano tubes, nano ribbons, nano buds comes under large scale structures of carbon. Among these graphene is special. It has got many features like: •it is the thinnest compound known to man at one atom thick •the lightest material •the strongest compound that is discovered (300 times stronger than steel) •best heat and electricity conductor •harder than diamond •the superconducting prope

Spintronics

According  to Wikipedia, spintronics (also known as fluxtronics ) is defined by the study of the intrinsic spin of the electron. Basically, it is blend of electronics with spin. Why should we go for spintronics?                   Spintronics devices offer   enhanced functionality. Compared to " electronics ", spintronics has advantages over it. Imagine I'm using a " spintronic device ", for example a laptop :- • it requires no boot-up waiting period • it doesn't require a unique and specialized  semiconductor • it consumes less power • less heat dissipation • takes up lesser space on chip, thus more compact • spin manipulation is faster, which results in good read and write speed(probably faster than present SSD)                                           Video Courtesy After listing these advantages, almost every mind gets questions like "why this is not available in market now ?" "When can I experience this technol
