In nuclear chart, heavier elements are growing fast due to the availability &

advancement in the stable nuclear beam technology. Since for a long time, the search

for the next spherical shell (Magic Number) for the proton number has gone on and we

have recently approached to Z = 120 Super Heavy Element (SHE). On the other hand,

in present time the most challenging question for computer science technology

experts/scientists is to create fast and efcient mass storage devices to store ever

increasing data. Advance new technology in bio sciences known as Synthetic DNA

(Deoxyribonucleic Acid) has open a new door for the futuristic energy efcient mass 3storage devices. One can imagine that 1 mm device made by synthetic DNA can store

roughly 109 GB data. This is a good indication for solving the demand problem of mass

storage which is expected to be over 16 zettabytes in 2017. Moreover, it is estimated

that by 2020, 35 zettabytes of digital information will be generated. Facebook recently

built an entire data center dedicated to 1 exabyte of cold storage. Synthetic DNA

technology is developed by Nick Goldman and his team members at the European

Bioinformatics Institute and report published in January 2013 in international weekly

journal of science on nature.com.

Since 21st century we have developed technology pushing extreme limits imaginable.

It has only been possible by applying interdisciplinary approaches to the complex

problems as discussed above. Interdisciplinary research is a need of the hour to

develop breakthrough technologies that will solve technology problems of the future.

frequency infrared rays and is xed on one side of the laptop. On the

other side IR receiver is xed. Whenever anyone tries to operate the

laptop i.e. open or close the ap of the laptop an obstruction occurs in

the path of infrared rays and the alert signal is sent to the user's mobile.

Farmer Interactive Remotely Controlled Rice Crop Disease

Detection System by Dr. Sheifali Gupta, Satpal Singh, Sagar

Juneja, Rupesh Gupta

It comprises of a hand held device with display and an unmanned aerial

vehicle (UAV) with a camera controlled using a processor along with

embedded image processing software. Camera at UAV captures the

live video of the rice eld and transmits it to handheld device using

ZigBee Wireless Communication. Farmer visualizes the diseased crop

from remote location without entering the eld. He gives command to

UAV to click picture of such diseased plant, disease is identied and the

pesticide to be used is decided accordingly.

Morse Pen as a Communication Tool For Blind by Pratyaksh Joshi

and Sagar Juneja

A Morse code based pen will enable visually impaired to type/write

characters in form of Morse code that are interpreted by this device for

the user. The pen contains button linked with specic sensors to
