Three Laws of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the study of energy, the conversion of energy between various forms and the ability of energy to do work. Initially, three laws of thermodynamics were posited. There seems to be a fourth, called the Zeroth Law, because Laws 1, 2, and 3 were spoken for.
C.P. Snow, the British scientist and author has offered up an easy and funny way to remember the Three Laws. He says they can be translated as: (1) you cannot win

Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology takes atoms and particles at the molecular or macromolecular level and changes them to have an impact on our life. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, in other words really, really small. A nanometer is about the size of three atoms. Nanotechnology is a sort of building, or engineering, something one atom at a time.
Some people refer to nanotechnology as “molecular manufacturing” or “nanoscale technology”. Nanoscale technology is usually referring to very small structures (i.e. for things 1 to 100 nanometers).

Fiber Optics
Fiber Optics sounds really high tech. In fact, the term fiber optics simply refers to the transmission of data through the use of light. The use of fiber optics first became popular in 1970s. An employee from Corning Glass Works, Robert Maurer, developed a fiber through which data could be transmitted. Although the fiber used then was not as thin as they are in today’s world, the concept worked and the commercial use of fiber optics had begun.

What are Supercomputers Used for?
From the essential and simple desktop to the ultra-sleek portable laptop and designated server machines, there are different types of computing machines used in various roles. Indeed the evolution of computers shows how a once complex and huge machine became a machine for the masses, a necessary part of every household and office. The earlier impression or idea of computers in people's minds was a very very smart, capable of doing anything machine, that could churn out data and information in minutes. But such "super" computers are not urban legends. They do exist and are in fact, called supercomputers.
So what are supercomputers? They work on the principle of faster and more work done in minimum time. Supercomputers are capable of performing operations in minutes and seconds, that would take a team of even high-end machines, days or weeks or more realistically months to perform. They are also super in terms of maintenance and need large rooms all to themselves, along with extremely cool temperature surroundings.
