"Teaching is a highly professional activity. It is often said that good teachers are born.

This is true that every body does not have a bent of mind for teaching. But nowadays due to mass education, teachers have to be created and trained.

There was a time when some specific communities took to the teaching profession but nowadays teaching has ceased to be the preserve of the few. Similarly over the years, based on (less)

Nanotechnology is like a toolkit for the electronics industry. It gives tools to make electronic nanomaterials with special properties modified by ultrafine particle size, crystallinity, structure or surfaces.

New nanoelectronics technologies are emerging that promise to carry us beyond the limits of present lithographic processing down to molecular feature sizes. Denser hard drives, smaller and faster chips, and (less)
