Rare earths are very significant when it comes to the development and use of technical equipment as they can be very important to the performance of the unit. An example of an everyday piece of technology that uses rare earths is the IPhone. Apple has said that the IPhone uses eight rare earths, from everything from the colored screen, to speakers, to the miniature circuits inside the phone. Although the amount of rare earths in the phone is very little, the demand for rare earths will continue…

In this new era of 21th century, our world is surrounded by energy even our eating foods also having energy which is chemical energy. In physics, energy is defined as a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or be converted into many different forms (encyclopedia 2016). Energy can be differentiated into two groups which is renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy group is defined as the group of energy which can be replenished naturally in a short period…

Gustavo Oliveira Coutinho, 4º ano Class: 4BTEL Innovate Tesla: the resurgence of Nikola Tesla from oblivion to spotlight Introduction Nikola Tesla is one of the most controversial figures on science. While many judged him simply as a mad scientist, few were able to see how he was ahead of his own time, providing the theoretical and practical foundation to several modern equipments. We, as a society, not only owe Tesla for the AC (alternating current) electric system of supply, but…

Electron microscope (Manning, n.d.) is the instrument used to magnify different scientific artifacts with the used of electron beams to create the illustration of the sample, and has the capacity to magnify two million times of the original specimen. The development of the electron microscope was first known in the year 1931 because Ernst Ruska and Maximoll Knoll magnified electron image successfully, but the equipment was actually constructed in 1933 (Innes, n.d.). The concept of the electron…

The control rods are what give a steady output of energy after the fission process has taken place. They control the number of spare neutrons as a great amount are produced during a chain reaction with the nuclei. These control rods are usually made of the material cadmium or boran and they absorb excess nuclei in order the control the amount of free flowing neutrons so they do not become to excessive which would create larger amounts of heat. The rate that the energy is produced can be changed…

INTRODUCTION In the world 17% of the total electrical energy is generated by nuclear energy, but with the creation of nuclear energy produced many concerns for the surrounding environment. Nuclear waste is produced in different forms with different chemical and physical properties. This waste may be: • In the form of gas emitted from radioactive materials • In the form of liquid excreted from many research fields • In the form of solid ranging from glassware of hospitals and contaminated trash…

CHAPTER 3 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS 3.1 GENERAL Enabling technology for a whole host of innovative devices and systems that have changed the way we live is the Integrated circuit(IC) Technology. In the year 2000 Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their invention of the integrated circuit and without the integrated circuit, neither transistors nor computers would be as important as they are today. We know that VLSI systems are very smaller in size and consume…

With the introduction of new, clean alternative ways of producing energy such as wind and solar, the government has spent its resources focusing on developing effective ways to collect the power made by these renewable resources. The government has been offering incentives to companies that develop and create power using the sun and wind, but nuclear energy regardless of its clean nature has been ignored. Incentives for nuclear power plants are not being created and as a result, nuclear power…

for India, as it has only around 1–2% of the global uranium reserves, but one of the largest shares of global thorium reserves at about 25% of the world 's known thorium reserves. As per the World Nuclear Association,  India has a flourishing and largely…

1. Is mercury an appropriate target for AGI? Why or why not? Please clearly cite examples for your reasons. (10 points) There are many reasons that mercury is an appropriate target for AGI. • Both companies are in the same industry of footwear products. • First off the two companies have differentiating strategies and markets that they sell to. AGI will be adding a new market to their company goals and increasing their revenue streams. • AGI strives in the casual footwear segment with a…
