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 ...

What Is Cloud Computing? What is the cloud? Where is the cloud? Are we in the cloud now? These are all questions you've probably heard or even asked yourself. The term "cloud computing" is everywhere. In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. It goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the gigantic server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as nothing but a puffy, white cumulonimbus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats. What cloud computing is  not  about is your hard drive. When you store data on or run programs from the hard drive, that's called  local  storage and computing. Everything you need is physically close to you, which means accessing your data is fast and easy, for that one computer, or others on the local network. Working of...
