Introduction to Texhnogadget

This BlogSpot will provide you with your daily dose of information related to latest trends in the field of Information Technology and all about the smart gadgets people love to carry. Talking about Aerospace, Agricultural robotics, Digital currency, Optoelectronics, Spintronics, Space, Medical, Military, Quantum computing, entertainment and many more.

Aerospace

In Aerospace, the emerging technology is Plasma propulsion. A plasma propulsion engine is a type of electric propulsion that generates thrust from a quasi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast with ion thruster engines, which generate thrust through extracting an ion current from the plasma source, which is then accelerated to high velocities using grids/anodes. Plasma thrusters do not typically use high voltage grids or anodes/cathodes to accelerate the charged particles in the plasma, but rather use currents and potentials that are generated internally to accelerate the ions, resulting in a lower exhaust velocity given the lack of high accelerating voltages. 

In short, Plasma engines are better suited for interplanetary missions. Many space agencies developed plasma propulsion systems, including the European Space Agency, Iranian Space Agency, and Australian National University, who co-developed a double layer thruster.

 

Agricultural Robotics

Talking about agricultural robotics only one thing comes to mind, crop production and here comes into play an agricultural drone which is an unmanned aerial vehicle used in agriculture operations mostly in yield optimization and in monitoring crop growth and crop production. 

The aerial view provided by a drone can assists in the information of crop growth stages, crop health and soil variations in real time helping in any mitigation if required. Multispectral sensors can collect image in near infrared as well as in visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Digital Currency

Well to add more knowledge, let me shed some light on this one because it is trending. Basically folks, digital currency is any currency, money, or money-like asset that is primarily managed, stored, or exchanged on digital computer systems, especially over the internet. Types of digital currencies include cryptocurrency, virtual currency, and central bank digital currency. The famous among all is crypto currency which is designed to work as a medium of exchange through a computer network that is not reliant on any central authority, such as a government or bank, to uphold or maintain it.

Interestingly Bitcoin (BTC) stand on top with a value of $40,373 as of Sunday 01:15 am 18th of April 2022. Maintaining second position of crypto market is Ethereum (ETH) with a market value of $3,048 and on the third position stands Tether (USDT) with a market value of $1.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is a rapidly-emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for classical computers.

IBM Quantum makes real quantum hardware--a tool scientists only began to imagine three decades age--available to thousands of developers.

These machines are very different from the classical computers that have been around for more than half a century.
