GM seeds have improved traits such as high yields and resistance to adverse environmental conditions, pests, and herbicides. In 2015, the US dominated the global seeds market for GM seeds. Almost 40% of the world's GM crops are currently grown in the US. Monsanto held the largest share in the GM seeds market.

A submicrometric system that presents natural magnetic property at zero applied magnetic field is called a nanomagnet. Nanomagnetism includes the study of magnetic properties and applications of isolated nanoparticles, nanowires, nanodots, and microscopic samples that contain nanoscopic particles.

Nanowires are created on a flat substrate of semiconductor materials, such as silicon and germanium. They are composed of metals such as silver, gold, or iron. A nanowire is a nanostructure, which can range from 100 billionths of a meter in diameter and 10 millionths of a meter in length. They are the building blocks of nextgeneration electronics, photonics, sensors, and energy applications. There are different types of nanowires available in the global market, which include metallic nanowires (e.g., Ni, Pt, and Au), superconducting nanowires [e.g., yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO], semiconducting nanowires (e.g., Si, InP, and GaN), and insulating nanowires (e.g., SiO₂ and TiO₂ ).

Networks include switches, routers, firewalls, and middleboxes with different types of events occurring simultaneously. Computer networks are dynamic and complex, making it a challenging task to configure and manage them. NMS helps the end-users to control a complex data network to maximize its efficiency and productivity. The parameters in network devices, such as routers and switches, need to be monitored. The parameters are as follows

A sensor is a device that measures or responds to physical changes in the environment and converts the signals appropriately. Sensors that use magnetic fields to sense changes in the environment are known as magnetic field sensors. The applications for magnetic sensors mainly include speed sensing, motion sensing, and direction sensing. These sensors have found application in different sectors such as the automotive, wireless and consumer electronics, industrial, military, energy, medical, and data processing. Non-optical sensors essentially measure forms of mechanical stress over the subjects and do not use light as a medium.

OLED is a carbon-based diode, which is placed between a cathode and an anode. It produces light when electricity is passed through the conductors, namely the cathode and the anode. Unlike LCD, the OLED display technology does not require backlight and filters as the light emitted from the OLED is sufficient for a bright display. This makes the OLED display more energy efficient compared to its LCD counterparts. The OLEDs are made with different layers of carbon-based films to emit light, where the number of layers depends on the display requirement. The standard number of layers is three, consisting of red, blue, and green (RGB) colors. A fewer number of display layers and space saved by removing the backlight makes the OLED display panels not only sleek but also has the benefit of enhanced picture quality on screen.

An OLED emits light in response to an electric current. In an OLED, the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound, which is responsible for the emission of light on application of electricity. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in various electronic applications such as TV screens, PC monitors, mobile phones, and gaming consoles. An OLED can display deep black levels on screens and is lighter and thinner when compared to a light-emitting diode (LED). An OLED achieves a higher contrast ratio than an LED in low ambient light conditions such as a dark room. The following exhibit represents the history and evolution of OLED.

Diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma can cause blindness. Hence, in many developed countries such as the US and the UK, governments conduct routine eye screening programs that helped reduce the number of blind people. According to the Government of the UK in March 2014, every year 2.5 million people are invited for screening. Government data in 2014 found that around 74,000 people were referred for hospital eye services. Among which, 4,600 people were suffering from diabetes and were sent to specialty services to prevent sight loss.

The global optical imaging market is witnessing continuous technological developments and product innovations. The Americas was the major revenue contributor to the global optical imaging market in 2016, with the US dominating the market in the region. It was followed by EMEA. There is, however, a huge opportunity for the market in APAC to rise at a faster rate and increase its revenue contribution during the forecast period.

As the data over a fiber-optic network is transferred using light, the speed offered is immense when compared to the copper network infrastructure. The electrons used in copper wires travel at less than 1% of the speed of light, whereas photons used in fiber-optic connections travel at approximately 70% of the speed of light.
