Computer does works on Water droplet, Engineers Proved It's

Author yuvamind

Can you believe that Computers and water typically work together? Or can mix, everybody would laugh on this topic but in Manu Prakash ' s lab, this thing possible and proved this unbelievable things. Prakash, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, and his students have built a synchronous computer that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets. The computer took nearly a decade to making it ' s, this idea was of struck Prakash when he was a graduate student. Work combines his expertise in manipulating droplet fluid dynamics with a fundamental element of computer science – an operating clock Prakash says that "In this work, we finally demonstrate a synchronous, universal droplet logic and control" Because of its universal nature, the droplet computer can theoretically perform any operation that a conventional electronic computer can crunch, although at significantly slower rates. According to Prakash "The reason computers work so precisely is that every operation happens synchronously; it ' s what made digital logic so powerful in the first place," as he spoke

A magnetic clock

Developing a clock for a fluid-based computer required some creative thinking. Katsikis and Prakash built arrays of tiny iron bars on glass slides that look something like a Pac-Man maze. They laid a blank glass slide on top and sandwiched a layer of oil in between. Then they carefully injected into the mix individual water droplets that had been infused with tiny magnetic nanoparticles. Next, they turned on the magnetic field. Every time the field flips, the polarity of the bars reverses, drawing the magnetized droplets in a new, predetermined direction, like slot cars on a track. Every rotation of the field counts as one clock cycle, like a second hand making a full circle on a clock face, and every drop marches exactly one step forward with each cycle. A camera records the interactions between individual droplets, allowing observation of computation as it occurs in real time. The presence or absence of a droplet represents the 1s and 0s of binary code, and the clock ensures that all the droplets move in perfect synchrony, and thus the system can run virtually forever without any errors.
