The field of biomimicry, also known as biomimetics, seeks to emulate nature with technology. Biomimicry or biomimetics examines nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from to solve human problems. Humans have always looked to nature for inspiration to solve problems. From a drone …
Read More »Photonic Integrated Circuits technologies promise Quantum computers and sensors, as system-on-chip solutions integrated into laptops and cell phones.
Photonics is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons (smallest unit of light) as the data carrier instead of electrons (smallest unit of electricity) used in electronic ICs. As light travels very high speeds, photonics is widely used to transfer huge amounts of data at a very high speed. Thus …

Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a a naval vessel across water. At present, 90% of the sea-going naval ship are diesel-powered. There are numerous benefits to electric motor propulsion including that it’s quieter, more efficient at lower speeds and less smelly. It’s …

An optical network is a communication system that uses light signals, instead of electronic ones, to send information between two or more points. The points could be computers in an office, large urban centers or even nations in the global telecommunications system. These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide-area …
