Visulization of Sss Materials

SSS Materials: [Triple S Materials] Materials possessing grain size on the order of a billionth of a meter. Since nano materials posses unique, beneficial, chemical physical and mechanical properties they can be used for wider variety of applications. We can see the presence of nano materials everywhere and how it is superior to other materials which are being used now days and earlier. Nano materials can be called as SSS materials as they are SMALL, STRONG and SMART Read

Photonics in Different Fields

Classical optics Photonics is closely related to optics. However optics preceded the discovery that light is quantized (when the photoelectric effect was explained by Albert Einstein in 1905). The tools of optics are the refracting lens, the reflecting mirror, and various optical components which were known prior to 1900. The key tenets of classical optics, such as Huygens Principle, the Maxwell Equations, and wave equations, do not depend on quantum properties of light. Read

Application of Photonics

As data rates inside digital electronic systems are increasing, the bandwidth of traditional copper interconnects is increasingly limited by signal distortion, power consumption, cross-talk and pin-out capacity. Optical interconnects are viable alternatives as they offer higher bandwidth, lower cost and lower power dissipation compared to traditional copper interconnects Read

Improving the Quality of Education

An announcement goes out to the faculty that from now on the university will operate as a total quality management campus. All academic, business, and service functions will be assessed regularly, and quality teams will plan ways to improve them. A campus quality director and a steering team are named, with the director reporting to the Provost. All university departments appoint quality coordinators, who attend a one-day workshop on quality management principles and return to their departments Read
