Silicon Valley.

                                        Silicon Valley. 


Silicon Valley, in the southern San Francisco Bay Area of California, is home to many start-up and global technology companies. Apple, Facebook and Google are among the most prominent. It’s also the site of technology-focused institutions centered around Palo Alto's Stanford University. The Computer History Museum and NASA’s Ames Research Center are in Mountain View. The Tech Museum of Innovation is in San Jose. Silicon Valley is called Silicon Valley because of sand. Many companies manufacturing computer chips (like Intel) were either operating or headquartered throughout the region, now known as Silicon Valley back, in 1971. The first ingredient in the manufacturing process of computer chips happens to be – sand. Silicon Valley grew up in the area between San Jose, California, and San Francisco as a result of Frederick Terman, the legendary dean of Stanford engineering school during the 1940s and 1950s. He created the tradition of Stanford faculty starting their own companies.

Apple silicon chips | The M family.

Computers are made just like the human body. In the human body, the brain controls everything, handles every type of pressure occurring, and process the inputs and output it. Exactly like that the processor in computer plays or played a huge roll from the beginning of computers. Without a processor, the computer is like a human without a brain.  Nowadays there are various types of processors, as well as various large scale companies manufacture those. Simply the process of the processor is to handle the input - process them - Output it. So some examples for such companies are Intel, Nvidia, Apple and AMD.  When we take the most popular chip set Intel, For instance Intel has been founded in 1968 and been serving Windows and Apple devices since. Intel has 3 technologies named Intel single core, duo core and Quad-core.  But today's topic is not Intel, it is Apple M chips.  So when we take the history of Apple, from the beginning they manufactured Laptops and Computers n...

  The ‘Great’ Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn Saturn, top, and Jupiter, below, are seen after sunset from Shenandoah National Park, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020, in Luray, Virginia. The two planets are drawing closer to each other in the sky as they head towards a “great conjunction” on December 21, where the two giant planets will appear a tenth of a degree apart. Credits: NASA/ Bill Ingalls Skywatchers are in for an end-of-year treat. What has become known popularly as the “Christmas Star” is an especially vibrant planetary conjunction easily visible in the evening sky over the next two weeks as the bright planets Jupiter and Saturn come together, culminating on the night of Dec. 21. In 1610, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei pointed his telescope to the night sky, discovering the four moons of Jupiter – Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. In that same year, Galileo also discovered a strange oval surrounding Saturn, which later observations determined to be its rings. These disc...

Auxins | The first major plant hormone.

  Basically auxin is a growth promoting hormone present in plants which produce in the tops of the shoots and roots. Auxins stimulate cell elongation in stem and root. Due to this, the stem apex of plants turn towards light due to dissimilar cell elongation of stem.  -Thats why plants always bend and grow towards light.                Caption- A plant growing towards light.  Question - what is the relationship between plant growth and Auxin hormone? Auxins produced in the apex diffuse downwards. Therefore it speed up the growth of new cells and the shoot of the plant grow upwards.  Question - What are the other functions rather than growth and stem  elongation? Promotes formation of lateral and adeventitious roots.  Regulates development of fruit. Enhances apical dominance. Note- Auxins concentrate in the parts of the plant where the light intensity is low. This is due to the the process of diffusion. Auxins move to ...
