Laser Technology
“Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation” LASER in short, its an electronic device that emits an extremely intense beam of energy in a form of light rays. The laser function on the same basic principle as its forerunner, the maser and is sometimes referred as an optical maser. In both device, atoms had their energy increased are simulated, causing them to release this excess energy.

Transistor
One of the first commercial application of transistors was in a telephone switching office. Consumers first saw them in transistorized hearing aids, sales of which began in 1952. Transistors and their multiple form, integrated circuits, are found in radios, television sets, tape recorders, toys, handheld calculators, fire and burglar alarms, video games and control of all kinds – from light dimmers to speed control on drills and motors.

Traveling through Time
Traveling forward and backwards to different dimension and time, "time travel" an unsolved mystery in the world of physics. Theoretically, some physicist like Sir Isaac Newton said, that time is always the same for any one who observe it in any reference frame. This has been the belief and considered as a true fact by many people in the 19th century.

Robotics and its Legacy
Robotics plays a great role in our technology today. It said to be the engineering science and main technology of robots. It is in relation with electronics, mechanics and software. Base in its history, the design for a humanoid robot or what was called the Mechanical Knight was design byLeonardo da Vinci in 1495.
Solar Panel
Solar panel, also known as photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel is a device that collect light energy and convert it to electricity. It uses photovoltaic cells most commonly known as the solar cells. its development was started by a french physicist Antoine-César Bacquerel in his 1839 research. By observing its effect while doing an experement with the solid electrode dipped in an electrolyte solution(the one used in a battery) he notice a voltage was developed when the electrode is exposed to sun light.

Cloud Seeding
Cloud seeding has been shown to be effective in altering cloud structure and size and in converting supercooled liquid water to ice particles. The amount of precipitation due to seeding is difficult to quantify. Cloud seeding may also suppress precipitation.

Automated Election in the Philippines
The conduct of elections in the Philippines for the past four decades has remained largely unchanged. Philippine elections rely heavily on manual tallying and canvassing of votes thus making them vulnerable to control and manipulation by traditional politicians and those with vested interests.
LCD Television
From CRT to Plasma Screen, now comes a new breakthrough in television technology, the liquid crystal display (LCD). For all we know, laptop computers, digital clocks and watches, microwave ovens, CD players and many other electronic devices uses this technology .

CRT
The first cathode ray tube to use a hot cathode was developed by John B. Johnson (who gave his name to the term Johnson noise) and Harry Weiner Weinhart of Western Electric, and became a commercial product in 1922.
