What is a breadboard ?
A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board.
Nanotubes serve as light emitter in Integrated Photonic Circuit
Using fiber optic cables as waveguides for transmitting light that is ultimately converted into voice calls or data has been a mainstay for the telecommunications industry for decades.

Smart Contact Lenses
Samsung was recently granted a patent in South Korea for smart contact lense technology. The lenses' camera and sensors are controlled by blinks and can deliver a seamless augmented reality experience.
We waste 3.5 days of our lives in untangling of headphones
According to a post by Edward Aten, we would spend a total of 3.5 days untangling headphones over the course of our life. No wonder why Apple is looking to kill the headphones in its future phones.Aten decided to do the math to see how much time is wasted when we endlessly try to untangle our headphones. So, what did he do to arrive on that number?

This bizarre electron behavior may lead to new electronic technologies
Researchers at Princeton University have observed a bizarre behavior in a strange new crystal that could hold the key for future electronic technologies. Unlike most materials in which electrons travel on the surface, in these new materials the electrons sink into the depths of the crystal through special conductive channels.

These electronics can monitor the brain, then dissolve and vanish
From pacemakers to insulin pumps, electronic implants are a powerful medical tool, but they present their own suite of risks — scarring, rejection and sepsis among them. Now a team of researchers has createda dissolving electronic implant, sort of like a much more sophisticated version of dissolving sutures. Sutures, however, can’t be injected into a rat’s brain, and don’t come equipped with temporary Wi-Fi.
