Nanites - The emerging technology


To understand nanites you have to know what is nanotechnology. So, Nanotechnology is a field of research and innovation concerned with buildings things - generally, materials and device in the scale of atoms and molecules. The ideas of nanoscience begins with the book "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" by Richard Feynman. The nanites are famous because sci-fi series like 'Revolution" NBC's series and Vin Diesel movie 'Bloodshot'. Nanotechnology are developed at that level yet. Nanites is name for Nanorobotics it also has other like nanoids. It is technology field creating machine or robots whose component are at or near nanometers ( 10^-9 meters ). Example of nanorobotics are sensor having a switch approximately of 1.5 nanometer, able to count approximately molecules in chemical sample and a amazing single molecule car, wheel made of Buckminsterfullerene also called as Nano Car. 

Potential use of nanotechnology is in nanomedicines. Nanotechnology provides a wide range of new technologies for developing customized means to optimize the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs. Today, harmful side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy are commonly a result of drug delivery methods that don't pinpoint their intended target cells accurately. Researchers at Harvard and MIT, however, have been able to attach special RNA strands, measuring nearly 10 nm in diameter, to nanoparticles, filling them with a chemotherapy drug. These RNA strands are attracted to cancer cells. When the nanoparticle encounters a cancer cell, it adheres to it, and releases the drug into the cancer cell. This directed method of drug delivery has great potential for treating cancer patients while avoiding negative effects (commonly associated with improper drug delivery). The first demonstration of nanomotors operating in living organisms was carried out in 2014 at University of California, San Diego. MRI-guided Nano capsules are one potential precursor to nanorobots.

What is Exoplanetology?

Hello, In this post I have talk about Exoplanetology which is a part of Astrology. Exoplanetology is the study of  planet beyond our solar system. Perhaps the greatest challenge for exoplanetology is simply finding such planets. Planets are so small and dim compared to their parent stars, that spotting them against the backdrop of the star is extremely difficult. Confirmed discoveries of exoplanets have only been made since 1988, though the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno proposed their existence in the sixteenth century. Observatories on Earth and in space have since found thousands of candidates for planets around other stars and new discoveries are being made on a daily basis. Scientists working in this field use an interdisciplinary approach to their research: astronomy and astrophysics are particularly important for detection and observation; astrogeology and astrobiology. Exoplanetology is a young science and there are plenty of Things We Don’t Know.  Learn...

NVIDIA Tesla V100 - First Tensor Core GPU

  8x NVIDIA Tesla V100 32GB Server As we all know NVIDIA processor are so famous now a days. It give a perfect gaming performance and people used it worldwide. The thing is that it is not only use in personal computer but also at data center, where so many super computer are present for providing services. So, NVIDIA Tesla V100 is a first tensor core GPU. It is especially built to focus on AI, High Performance Computing ( HPC ) and graphics. It is powered by NVIDIA Volta Architecture. It comes with configuration 16 and 32GB and have a performance up to 100 CPUs in single GPU. A single server node with V100 GPUs can replace 60 CPUs nodes. DATA CENTER GPUs Image © NVIDIA NVIDIA V100 for NVLINK  Performance with NVIDIA GPU Boost for double precision is  7.8 teraflops and single precision is 15.7 teraflops. Deep learning performance boost is 125 teraflops. Interconnect bandwidth with bidirectional is 300 GB/s. It have memory capacity of 32/16 GB HBM2 with bandwidth 900GB/s. I...

About Exascale Computing Project

Hey guys, Today I am going to talk about great evolution in computer field i.e Exascale Computing Project. This project is in progress. Many of country working to complete it. Exascale computer can done quintillion of calculation in one second. It can take over Petascale super computer in processing.  It is considered as great achievement in Computer Engineering. It can be estimate power processing of brain at neural level.   IISc. from India also working on this project. Supercomputer performance are measure in FLOPS ( Floating Point Operation Per Second ) or calculation per second. Our laptop or PC can perform upto trillion calculations per second. But an Exascale computer can do quintillion of calculations per second. It also has a good AI performance. It also useful for medical terms.  Intel will build 1st Exascale Computer in US.  In 2008, two United States of America governmental organisations within the US Department of Energy, the Office of Science...
