Approach Towards Biochip Technology

-

BioChip


Biochip a set of microarrays that allows many experiments to be executed at the same time to obtain high through put in minimum time. This device contain millions of sensors elements or biosensors.It is the most exciting future technology  in the field of computer science,electronics and biology.It is a new type of biochips promises to bring genomics. These chips are fast rate ,miniaturized, and can be expected to advantageous as a computer chip.

COMPONENTS OF BIOCHIP

  1. Transponder:-  Transponder means it does not contain any of its own energy or battery ,it activates it by giving it a low electrical charge. It consists of further four parts antenna coil, computer microchip, glass capsule, and a tuning capacitor.
  2. Reader:- It is made up of a coil named exciter which forms an electromagnetic field through radio signals. It offers an activated energy to the biochip. 

TYPES OF BIOCHIP

  1. DNA Microarray:-  It is also known as DNA Biochip, a set of tiny DNA spots fixed to  strong surface. Every DNA mark is made up of probes. These can be a short segment of a genetic material under high rigidity situations. 
  2. Microfluidic chip:-  These chips are becoming more complex by using 1000s of components, but those components are designed physically called as bottom –up  full custom plan, a very large workplace.
  3. Protein Microarray:- It is used to follow the actions as well as connections. The first methodology of protein chips which was introduced in antibody microarrays of scientific publication in the year 1983.

ADVANTAGES OF BIOCHIPS

  • Use to rescue the sick.
  • Biochips are useful in finding the lost people.
  • Biochips can be used to identity the persons individually

DISADVANTAGES OF BIOCHIP

  • These are expensive.
  • These are dangerous problem of individual privacy.
  • These can be fixed into human body without their interference.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

BLOCKCHAIN: HOW IT WORKS AND WHY SO POPULAR

Merely, 12 years ago on 31 st October 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO published a paper on the internet about the idea of bitcoin. The Paper’s first few lines almost depicted all. The lines – “A version of electronic cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party/person to another party without involving a financial institution.” The value of bitcoin in 2010 was ~ 0 INR and value in 2020 ~ 15 lakhs INR. Recently, it touched its high price point, and now again is the topic of discussion among the market and media. Why so much difference? Like the US dollar is controlled by the Central Bank of US and the Indian rupee is controlled by RBI. Normally, our financial systems are based on “TRUST”. Whereas Cryptocurrency is a digital asset over which central banks or financial institutions have no control or rules/regulation. The currency notes and coins have value just because they are guaranteed by the government and central bank. Every currency has a promissory note with the signa

QUANTUM COMPUTING: CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

-
….IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMAGINED MIGHT SOMEWHERE EXIST.                                                                   - Dean Koontz Quantum computing is an emerging domain that is yet to enter our lives. However, the researchers are working hard to bring it into existence. Quantum computing can make the impossible possible. There are some problems that even supercomputers can’t solve. Quantum computers will however have the potential to solve such problems. In the same way that bits are used in a classical computer, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits which can store information in the quantum form. A qubit can be 0 or 1, or a superposition of both 0 and 1. Experts expect quantum computing to help us understand biology and evolution, cure cancer, and even take steps to reverse climate change. Imagine you have four bits. Together, those four bits can have one of 16 possible combinations, such as 1011.  The unique powers of quantum computation may g
