Study Notes
Defining Life
- Biological processes distinguish living matter from non-living matter
- Viruses blur the definition of life due to their unique characteristics
History of Life
- The origin of life on Earth is unknown, with ongoing research and debate
Classification of Living Things
- Carolus Linnaeus proposed the system of binomial nomenclature for classifying living organisms
The Biosphere
- The biosphere refers to the region of the Earth where life exists
Semiconductor Fabrication
- The 10 nm node follows the 14 nm node in semiconductor fabrication
- All production 10 nm processes are based on FinFET (Fin Field-Effect Transistor) technology
