The medical field is constantly evolving in both technique and technology. The diagnosis process is vastly different today in comparison to its shaky, unreliable nature merely a century ago. The arrival of the X-Ray in the 1890s and scans such as the CT or MRI scan following in the 1970s, has brought forth a greater sense of security in the practices of the healthcare field. Of course, the field aims to continue growing such confidence, hence why medical technology is constantly being improved and evaluated. One such product of this exponentially increasing pursuit for improvement would be the gradual onset [...]

You may have heard of the Webb Telescope, but what exactly is it? The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest optical telescope in space. It can view things that even the Hubble Space Telescope struggles to see. NASA worked with the ESA (European Space Agency) and the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) to develop the JWST which was launched on Christmas, 2021. The James Webb Space Telescope has 4 main objectives:To search for the light of the first stars and galaxies of the big bangTo study galaxy formation and evolutionTo understand star and planet formationTo study planetary systems and the [...]

Neuromorphic Engineering Tobin Thannickal Computers have become an integral part of all aspects of life. Conventional Von-Neumann computers do not possess the intrinsic capabilities to deal with complex data like the human brain. Significant research works have been done to develop computers inspired by the principles of human brain functions. The development of Neuromorphic Engineering is a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that takes inspiration from biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering to design hardware models of neural and sensory systems. The term “neuromorphic” was initially coined in the 1990s by Carver Mead to refer to mixed-signal analog/digital [...]
