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...

BLACK HOLE & SPACE-TIME RELATION

BLACK HOLE & SPACE-TIME RELATION                                 W e are all pretty familiar with the term  'Black   Hole' . Well, what does it really mean? Firstly, the 'Black Hole' is not black at all. It is a kind of void from which light cannot escape. According to the general theory of relativity, proposed by Sir Albert Einstein, the black hole is that region of space and time, where the gravitational attraction is so strong that nothing can escape from or through it. A huge, enormous amount of mass is concentrated over a very small volume. And, consequently, the density of the black hole becomes incredibly strong. ⮚       Formation of the 'Black Hole':  Well, so far as the creation of the black hole is concerned, it is speculated that if the centre of an enormously distributed star collapsed and, as a result, the 'SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION' occurred. The...

EMOTION SENSING TECHNOLOGY

Emotion is a mental state associated with the nervous system brought on by chemical changes variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioural responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. Reading and understanding emotions can lead to wide-ranging opportunities. Emotion sensing technologies are being widely used in many applications to effectively understand the users' mood and use that information to do something productive. EMOTION SENSING TECHNOLOGIES can be used in various fields such as personal robots, driverless cars, educational software, consumer electronic devices, video games etc and is on the verge of becoming the next big thing. THE TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED: SKIN CONDUCTANCE SENSORS: Skin conductance (SC) is an index of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and emotional arousal. To measure skin conductance, a small electrical potential is applied between two electrodes strapped or taped to the palmer side of the hand, and the amount of ...
