ABSTRACT:
Nanotechnology is one of the fast developing branches of hybrid science combining physics, chemistry and engineering. One of the major implications of this technology will have on the future field of engineering. Future computer chips will contain more circuitry and components, causing them to generate additional heat and requiring innovative cooling methods.
This paper explains the role of nanotechnology in increasing the efficiency of the c ....etc

Most of us wonâ„¢t like the idea of
implanting a biochip in our body that identifies us uniquely and can be
used to track our location. That would be a major loss of privacy. But
there is a flip side to this! Such biochips could help agencies to
locate lost children, downed soldiers and wandering Alzheimerâ„¢s
patients.


The human body is the next big target of chipmakers. It wonâ„¢t
be long before biochip implants will come to the rescue of sick, or
those who are handicapped in someway. Large amount of money and

Space is a hostile environment. No atmosphere, extreme variations in temperature and almost no energy sources, where even the slightest of mistakes can lead to a disaster. The vast emptiness of space is filled with radiation, mostly from the sun.

A normal computer unless given proper shielding will not be able to work properly. Thus special types of chips- rad hard chips are used.

Radiation hardened chips are made by two methods: -
Radiation hardening by process (RHBP)
Radiation hardening by design (R ....etc

Introduction


DNA chips also known as micro arrays are very significant technological development in molecular biology and are perhaps most efficient tool available for functional genomics today. An evident from the name micro array essentially consists of an array of either Oligonucleotides or cDNA fixed on a substrate. There has been an explosion of information in the field of genomics in the last five years. Genomes of several organisms have been fully sequenced. The next step necessarily involves the analysis of comparative expression l ....etc

1. INTRODUCTION

Computer chips of today are synchronous. They contain a main clock, which controls the timing of the entire chips. There are problems, however, involved with these clocked designs that are common today.

One problem is speed. A chip can only work as fast as its slowest component. Therefore, if one part of the chip is especially slow, the other parts of the chip are forced to sit idle. This wasted computed time is obviously detrimental to the speed of the chip.

Clock speeds are now in the gigahertz range and there is not much room for speedup before physical realities start to complicate things. With gigahertz clock powering a chip, signals barely have enough time to make it across the chip before the next clock tick. At this point, speeding up the clock frequency could become disastrous. This is where a chip that is not constricted by clock comes in to action. Clockless approach, which uses a technique known as asynchronous logic, differs from conventional computer circuit design in that the switchin ....etc
