Engineers at MIT Humanoid Robotics Group have come with a very latest technological invention in robots. These robots are termed as DOMO, which means next generation robots. Next generation robots are very much capable to adapt to situations and surroundings and are designed to respond and behave in a humanly manner. As a matter of fact, these robots will be able to assist humans in their day to day activities.

Engineers say that the motivation behind the development of DOMO was to develop a robot that can assist humans in their daily activities. The sensing capability is limited to visual sensing and for example, if a DOMO is assigned a task to keep a book on the shelf, it can visually sense the height of shelf to place the book at the right position on the shelf. It’s a progressive robotic achievement that could yet again redefine he bond between us and the bots.

“Canadian Center for Electron Microscopy” has developed the most modern and ultra powerful microscope and this microscope can be termed as the most powerful microscope unveiled till date.

The powerful microscope is named as “Titan 80-300 cubed” and the power of “Titan 80-300 cubed” is inexplicable as it could easily identify particles, even at the molecular level. The measurement of chemical states of atoms could be done with the help of advanced microscope and to be more advanced, they can even capture electron bindings within an atom.

Scientific world has whole heartedly welcomed the extra eyed microscope and hopes are too high on “Titan 80-300 cubed” to immensely aid scientists to discover the undiscovered in the arena of physical science and biological science. Energy quality systems, water quality systems, biological systems, chemical plants-the areas and departments that are going to be benefitted with advanced microscope are countless and continues to grow.

Stuart Parkin- a former IBM think tank is now developing a three dimensional memory system which is good enough to replace all two dimensional memory systems. In fact, all memory systems are two dimensional at present, but a three dimensional memory system implemented with the help of nano wires will define next generation memory chips and hard drives.

If you go for a comparison, you would find that this race track memory system has a very huge storage capacity when compared to magnetic tapes and speed is lot higher when compared to flash chips. When comparing the performance of racetrack chips, one would find that it is way ahead or superior to magnetic tapes and flash chips. All is done with the help of a set of nano wires, arranged in U shape adjacent to each other. Electric current is passed through the wires which produce desired effects helpful for reading and writing data.

If the computer is not performing well, reformatting a hard drive must be the next solution. Here are indicative signs that will aid in giving a computer a brand new touch.

Starting up and shutting down takes longer than a couple of minutes are the primary hint. Startup shouldn’t take 2-3 minutes and shutting down shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. The anti-virus is not functioning well; discovering viruses and spyware that are difficult to dispose; programs and files are not responding or the computer is unstable, and the Windows installation possibly got corrupted is the next hint. Another indication is that there is a continuous Windows error on startups and shutdowns. A sound computer has every program running efficiently and errors’ showing up means something has gone wrong. If these signs are present, reformatting is definitely required. Just ensure that important files are backed up to avoid future trouble.
