GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD -Ada Lovelace -

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer , the Analytical Engine. She   is often considered to be the first computer programmer! Lovelace was the first to recognise the full potential of a 'computing machine', suggesting it had applications beyond pure calculations.   (In 1843 Ada Lovelace wrote in her notes for a translation of a French article about the Analytical Engine how the machine could be used to follow a program to calculate Bernoulli numbers. For this, she has been called the first computer programmer.   Ada Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer. Even though she wrote about a computer, the Analytical Engine, that was never built, she realized that the computer could follow a series of simple instructions, a program, to perform a complex calculation....

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD - ARCHIMEDES

Archimedes , (born c.  287 bce, Syracuse, Sicily [Italy]—died 212/211 bce, Syracuse), the most-famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes is especially important for his discovery of the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder. He is most famous for discovering the law of hydrostatics, sometimes known as ' Archimedes ' principle', stating that a body immersed in fluid loses weight equal to the weight of the amount of fluid it displaces.   Archimedes . reportedly proclaimed " Eureka ! Eureka !" after he had stepped into a bath and noticed that the water level rose, whereupon he suddenly understood that the volume of water displaced must be equal to the volume of the part of his body he had submerged.   Archimedes was so thrilled and excited with this discovery that he immediately hopped out of the bath and ran onto the streets to tell the king, shouting loudly 'Eureka! Eureka!...

MERCEDES BENZ VISION AVTR -THE FUTURE CAR

Mercedes-Benz has just pulled the wraps off of a wild new concept car that was inspired by the 2009 movie Avatar called — what else? — the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR. Designed with help from Avatar director James Cameron, this car is not the sequel that Cameron has promised .   VISION AVTR by Mercedez-Benz is an advanced vehicle transformation. Mercedes- Benz Introduces New Concept Car Inspired by the Avatar Film. Inspired by the James Cameron blockbuster Avatar , the vehicle showed off some of Mercedes - Benz's wildest ideas for what the future of four-wheeled mobility might look like and the answer is, it thinks the future of design is biological.    This concept vehicle embodies the vision of Mercedes-Benz designers, engineers and trend researchers for mobility in the distant future.   completely without emissions.   With its four high-performance and near-wheel-built electric motors, the VISION AVTR embodies a particularly agile implement...

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD - ROBERT HOOKE

  Robert Hooke was a famous scientist, born in 1635. He most famously discovered the Law of Elasticity (or Hooke's Law) and did a huge amount of work on microbiology (he published a famous book called Micrographia, which included sketches of various natural things under a microscope).   Robert Hooke , (born July 18 [July 28, New Style], 1635, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England—died March 3, 1703, London), English physicist who discovered the law of elasticity, known as Hooke's law, and who did research in a remarkable variety of fields.   He contributed to the discovery of cells while looking at a thin slice of cork. He then thought that cells only exist in plants and fungi. In 1665, he published Micrographia. Jan 25, 2017.   Hooke used his microscope to observe the smallest, previously hidden details of the natural world. His book Micrographia revealed and described his discoveries. ... Hooke looked at the bark of a cork tree and observed it...

GREAT SCIENTIST OF WORLD - ANTONI VAN LEEUWENHOEK

The father of microbiology, van Leeuwenhoek laid the foundations of plant anatomy and became an expert on animal reproduction. He discovered blood cells and microscopic nematodes, and studied the structure of wood and crystals. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. Leeuwenhoek was   credited with the discovery of bacteria in 1676.   In 1674 he looked at the water from a lake near Delft and was surprised to see tiny microscopic unicellular pond-water organisms which he called animalcules ( 1676 ).   Leeuwenhoek first observed bacteria in the year 1676, and called them 'animalcules' (from Latin 'animalculum' meaning tiny animal)   Leeuwenhoek used single-lens microscopes, which he made, to make the first observations of bacteria and protozoa. .   Animalcule ('little animal', from Latin animal + the diminutive suffix -culum) is an old term for a microscopic organisms that included bacteria, protozoans, and very small anim...

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD -BLAISE PASCAL

Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) Blaise Pascal was a French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, inventor, and theologian. In mathematics, he was an early pioneer in the fields of game theory and probability theory. In philosophy he was an early pioneer in existentialism.   In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines), establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator.   Pascal      invented an adding machine with automatic carry between digits, and the " Pascal Triangle" of coefficients of the binomial series; also the inventor of the wheelbarrow, the omnibus, and the roulette wheel. He developed the modern theory of probability. He also formulated the concept of pressure (between 1646 and 1648) and showed that the pressure in a fluid is transmitted through the fluid in all directions (i.e. Pascal's law). Pascal's law states ...
