What is Hardware Description Language? Many of us are familiar with basic digital logic and logic-gate based circuits, through our school and first-year courses. Digital logic is the basic backbone of almost every small and big electronic system around us, starting from microwave ovens to huge supercomputers. At the elementary level, we see that any…
A Field-Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) likely has a quicker time-to-market because they are not pre-designed to perform certain tasks. You can buy a ready-made FPGA and then configure it to the design you need. An FPGA is a device that contains a matrix of reconfigurable gate array logic circuitry. When an FPGA is configured, the internal circuitry is…
Machine learning is one of the hot topics everyone wants on their resume. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can use data to learn for themselves. Here is a quick introduction to various machine learning techniques: Machine learning is classified as follows: Supervised Learning: Machines are trained using well labelled data…
It was December 10, 2008, and Wall Street was running as it normally does every day; telephones ringing, brokers doing their best to work their magic, the overlapping sounds of keyboards, staplers and binders making the ruckus it always does. Everything was perfectly normal, until the telegram popped up with the message that cost over…
Little Green Men? Nope, extraterrestrial life may look more like pasta. Fettuccini or Capellini, Anyone? Scientists have now discovered microbial mats in Yellowstone that look a lot similar to a bowl of delicious, chessy pasta. Hot-spring-loving microbes create rock formations that look like fettuccini or capellini, according to a new NASA-funded study published online April 30…
Electronics and the Human Body were considered to be two independent disciplines on themselves. However, today, things are changing. These two are being integrated into each other. With the advancement of silicon technology, electronic engineers are exploring new possibilities like the ones below: Edible Electronics The truth is, electronics, in general, aren’t designed to be…
Merkle Trees are a fundamental component of Blockchain technology and allow them to function with transaction integrity. To develop an understanding of decentralized systems and their efficient functionality, let us start from the basics. What is a cryptographic hash function? A cryptographic hash function is a function which takes an input and gives an output…
After running a startup for two years in college with 3 lakhs in revenue and 100 cycles in operations, I think I can safely tell you this: Being a student entrepreneur is not easy. Most of the times you will need to keep backing yourself up in every wrong decision, and I promise that there…
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, there were 14.1 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. First let us answer two important questions about cancer and then see how engineering can help solve this biological problem. Why is cancer risk increasing? We all know that cancer is the…
