Each new layer is attached to the previous one until the object is complete. [1]   This technology can be used in various fields, such as engineering, product design, manufacture, architecture, food, medicine, amongst… Read more Could 3D Printing eradicate extreme poverty and hunger?

The traditional computer is made up of billions of transistors, which are turned on and off to store what is known as a ‘bit’. These bits are placed together in 8’s to form bytes, which are then packaged as kilobytes and so on. The more complex a command is the greater the number of bits… Read more An Introduction to Quantum Computing
