Abstract

In the recent years, rapid progress in science and technology has brought about revolutionary changes in our lives. Better and more sophisticated products and services are continually coming into the market with lower prices. Information Technology (IT) and Biotechnology are the two areas that have been particularly in the news in the present decade. We have access to more and more information than ever before through Net. It is often said that we are now living in a global village.

Abstract

Biotechnology is the technology of harnessing the natural biological processes of microbes, plants and animal cells, for the benefit of mankind. Man has been using biotechnology for centuries for processing foods like bread, beer and cheese. However, the techniques of modern molecular biology, in particular genetic engineering, which involves direct manipulation of genetic material, have opened up important new possibilities in the field of biotechnology.

Abstract

Newly designed carbon tubes could replace silicon in microchips. Researchers of IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. have created the first functional logic circuit within a single molecule, an achievement that could one day help replace silicon in microchips. This is a significant step toward smaller, faster and less power-consuming computers, according to the researchers.

Abstract

Globalisation which is a very common word in today's world refers to increasing contacts between people across national boundaries - in economy, in technology, in culture and in governance.

Today's threat to the weaker nations from the powerful ones is not only from weapons of wars but also from domination through trade and commerce.

Abstract

MEMS or Micro Electro Mechanical Systems are the microscopic structures integrated onto silicon that combine mechanical, optical and fluidic elements with electronics. Though a MEMS device is of the size of a sand grain, these devices are complex machines that enable chips to become intelligent. They act as the most direct links between digital electronics and the physical world, allowing the integration of electronics and mechanical systems on a single chipset.
