WHAT IS 5G?



5th Generation is the next-generation of wireless communications and mobile technology. 5G Technology uses a variety of spectrum bands, including millimetre radio spectrum, which can carry very large amounts of data in a short distance. China was first to launch its 5G national network and start commercial operation.

ADVANTAGES OF 5G
·        Speed: With 4G we were able to download an average HD movie in about 10 minutes. But with the introduction of 5G, it would be as less as 4 seconds, its theoretical speed being 20 gigabits/s,20 times faster than Google Fibre.
·        Reduced Latency: Perhaps, most important than speed.5G solves the problem of latency, which is the delay between commands and responses from the server.5G is supposed to have 50 times faster response than 4G and this will not only be important in smartphones, but in connected machinery, self-driving cars and in health-care field.
·        Efficient: With 5G bringing all devices together, it will be much easier to support and provide services, which would be highly efficient as well.

DISADVANTAGES OF 5G
·        Time: It will take years before the new technology gets deployed worldwide
·        Price and Replacement: Older devices will not be able to work with new 5G users and will have to purchase new devices in order to benefit. Also, the price of a new 5G device and related service plans could be significantly higher than for current devices and services.
·    Security Issues and Health hazards: Some studies have shown that the 5G ‘small cell’ antennas will result in continuous exposure to everyone living nearby. This increased exposure will lead to a rise in diseases like cancer etc. Apart from these health hazards, security and privacy issues are still significant problems to be resolved. So, all in all, although the 5th generation is expected to benefit multiple consumers and enterprise sectors, but the flaws of it needs to be addressed at first, otherwise more than improvement in technology, it would rather be a danger to humanity.

NEUROIMAGING IN IDENTIFYING DISORDERS

NEUROIMAGING IN IDENTIFYING DISORDERS Neuroimaging deals with the in vivo applications of various techniques to illustrate and study the structural & functional characteristics of the nervous system. Neuroimaging can be classified into two categories: • Structural neuroimaging, which involves the imaging of the structure of the nervous system and the diagnosis of intracranial injuries and tumours. • Functional imaging, which involves the study and diagnosis of metabolic diseases and cognitive research. The most widely used techniques involved in the process of neuroimaging are: 1. Computed Tomography (CT) or Computed Axial Tomography (CAT), in which X-ray images of the brain from various directions are taken and presented as cross-sections of the brain. 2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain high-resolution 2D or 3D images of the brain. 3. Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which measures emissions from radioac...

HYPERLOOP

FIFTH MODE OF TRANSPORTATION-“HYPERLOOP” The concept of Hyperloop was first conceived in 2012 by renowned entrepreneur and founder of SpaceX and TESLA, Elon Musk . He was in search of a new, the fifth mode of transportation which can redefine the future of travelling by drastically reducing the travel time on land. It is termed hyperloop as it would go in a loop. Hyperloop is the greatest leap in mode of transportation infrastructure for generations. With passengers sitting in a pod and travelling through evacuated sealed metal tubes at a speed greater than that of an airline, the concept seems to be fictitious but it is on the verge of becoming reality. The speed of conventional mode of transportation i.e. buses, cars or trains is limited by air resistance and friction.   Hyperloop drastically reduces friction and air resistance by means of magnetic levitation, electric Propulsion and partially vacuum steel tubes. The concept is open-sourced by Elon Musk, the result of...

Parallel universe: Does it exist?

Parallel universe: Does it exist? One might be in love with the idea of a parallel universe, which is basically a parallel dimension or an alternate universe. Maybe it's appealing because one gets second chances, and things might turn out differently. An alternate reality where one might actually get into Hogwarts or Napolean wins the Battle of Waterloo or the British Empire holds on to its American colony or where you were never born. For over a hundred years, science has been haunted by a dark secret: that there might be mysterious hidden worlds beyond our human senses. Collection of an infinite number of such parallel universes constitute a “multiverse”. But is there really such a place in science for such wistful speculations. I mean if the universe is everything in itself, then we actually cannot have an identical copy of it right? Then the concept of the universe altogether would have been a lie. The problem here lies with the terminology. When the physicists...
