Stanford scientist Manu Prakash makes water based computer Jun 9, 2015, 06.31 PM IST 25 comments 62 in Share Share More A A READ MORE  Stanford University | Scientist | Manu Prakash Manu Prakash, who amazed the world last year by building a paper microscope, has now come up with a computer that works by moving water droplets. Prakash is an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and he has developed the water computer with the help of two of his students. He was born in Meerut, India. What Prakash did was devise a system in which tiny water droplets are trapped in a magnetic field. When the field is rotated or flipped, the droplets move in precise direction and distance. This became the basis of the computer clock, which is an essential component of any computer. Computer clocks are responsible for nearly every modern convenience. Smartphones, DVRs, airplanes, internet - without a cl
