Technologies To Watch In 2023

We have been writing about emerging technologies all year long. Which of these will matter to you in 2023?

Nuclear Bomb And RADIATION DETECTION DEVICE

Nuclear radiation is one of the most dangerous killers for the living. The atomic radiation needs to be detected at an early stage, otherwise it can be devastating within its area of influence. The radiation kills not only humans, it also destroys all natural habitat. It is important to avoid harm and mass destruction that can be caused by nuclear weapons and reactors nearby.

WEATHER STATION Using STM32 (Blue Pill) And ThingSpeak loT

This simple weather station detects environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. The temperature and humidity sensor DHT11 used measures the atmospheric temperature while the soil moisture sensor measures moisture in the earth. Block diagram of the project is shown in Fig. 1.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM For Electric Vehicles

Recently some electric bikes caught fire due to failure of battery management system because of poor battery design. Unfortunately, proper thermal management is not there in most electric vehicles at present. So, here is a project to monitor the battery temperature and smoke detection to alert the EV user and stop the EV well in time to avoid further damage.

"NON-FREE PROGRAMS Are A Threat To EVERYONE'S FREEDOM"

Richard Matthew Stallman (aka RMS) can be best described as a genius or a maverick. He graduated from Harvard in physics while working at the Artificial Intelligence Lab in Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1984, he started developing the GNU operating system, then in 1985 he founded the Free Software Foundation and invented the concept of copyleft-a legal mechanism to protect the modification and redistribution rights of free software. How have things progressed? How happy is he with the current state of affairs? Given the increased awareness and use of free software, we had (wrongly) assumed that he would be happy with the progress. He not only reiterated the weakness in defence of freedom but also outlined the threat humanity faces when \"progress\" (in the purely practical sense) is promoted at the neglect of freedom. Let's see what he has to say the neglect of freedom. Let's see what he has to say
