Miniaturization
Miniaturization ( Br.Eng.: ''miniaturisation'') is the trend to manufacture ever-smaller mechanical, optical, and electronic products and devices. Examples include miniaturization of mobile phones, computers and vehicle engine downsizing. In electronics, the exponential scaling and miniaturization of silicon MOSFETs (MOS transistors) leads to the number of transistors on an integrated circuit chip doubling every two years, an observation known as Moore's law. This leads to MOS integrated circuits such as microprocessors and memory chips being built with increasing transistor density, faster performance, and lower power consumption, enabling the miniaturization of electronic devices. Electronic circuits The history of miniaturization is associated with the history of information technology based on the succession of switching devices, each smaller, faster, and cheaper than its predecessor. During the period referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution (), miniaturizati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Resizing (fiction)
Resizing (including miniaturization, growth, shrinking, and enlargement) is a recurring theme in speculative fiction, in particular in fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction. Resizing is often achieved through the consumption of mushrooms or toadstools, which might have been established due to their psychedelic properties, through magic, by inherent yet-latent abilities, or by size-changing rays of ambiguous properties. Mythological precursors Chinese mythology In the ''Liezi'', the giants of the Longbo Kingdom were shrunk over time as punishment by the heavenly emperor after their burning of the bones of the ''ao'' caused the Daiyu and Yuanjiao islands to sink, forcing billions of ''xian'' to evacuate their homes. Hindu mythology In the ''Ramayana'', the deity Hanuman has the ability to alter his size, which he can use to enlarge himself to the size of a mountain or shrink himself down to the size of an insect. The ''Bhagavata Purana'' mentions the story of King Kakudmi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
