The speed of action potentials inside neurons is comparable to those of motorized two wheelers. The slowest of action potential lies in the range of 30-40 Km/hr while the fastest one is in the range of 400-500 Km/hr. The faster neurons are most likely to be mylienated. This cool figure from Wiki depicts the propagation …

A brief review: M. Tech. program in Microelectronics/Nano-Electronics/VLSI at IIT Bombay

I took my Master of Technology in Microelectronics and VLSI in Teaching Assistant category (2007-2009) from IIT Bombay. Although project work is an essential part of this program, it is more or less a taught degree. One does a certain minimum amount of course work in first two semesters and expected to contribute to a …
