“Now you can harvest electronic components right from your home”
We all know someone who maintains a garden in their backyard and harvest their own vegetables.
Being a technical person, you might not have interest towards vegetable harvesting. But now you can harvest electronic materials all by yourself from your home.
Super fun that would be right?
So how does this work actually?
This process was invented by a group of researchers from Mechanical Engineering Department of MIT. They had a developed a unique technique to harvest 2 inch diameter wafers of 2D material in just a few minutes from a bulk crystal material.

The harvested materials can be stacked together like building blocks to form a range of electronic devices with varied functionalities, even it can be made to act as a semiconductor.
This invention can literally change the electronics industry as we see it. And this technique paves the route to the manufacture of flexible electronics.
By using this method, you can produce different types of monolayer 2D materials such as semiconductors, metals and insulators, which can be then stacked together to form 2D hetero structures needed for electronic devices.
Jeehwan Kim, an associate professor in the department of mechanical engineering who led the research says,
“If you fabricate electronic and photonic devices using 2-D materials, the devices will be just a few monolayers thick and they will be extremely flexible, and can be stamped on to anything”
Since this process is fast and cost effective, it is more suitable for commercial operations and can transform the electronics market in to a completely new dimension in the coming years.

5. An Internet of Things Approach for Motion Detection using Raspberry Pi: Usage of CCTV camera for surveillance has become a common trend among people to strengthen their security systems. But the major disadvantage is that it needs a lot of memory space to store the video feeds and manpower to detect the unauthorized activities. The objective of this project is to develop an electronic device that can solve this problem.
In this project, you will be using Raspberry Pi (a miniature computer) to develop an electronic device. Implementing Raspberry Pi will make the system much cheaper and efficient, because of its low power consumption feature. Also we will be using PIR sensors to detect the motion. So, whenever the PIR sensor picks up a motion, it sends the data to the microcontroller and in turn the camera gets activated. By implementing this process, only the video feeds that has motion activities gets recorded and no manpower is needed to check the video feed real-time.
