The disposable cameras were easy to use, cheap and readily available]]> 2021-10-03 21:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1787988268 gartjimenez74 https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1787993926 The Jarvik-7 artificial heart in 1982 was something completely different. The implantation of this heart helped extend the life of a cardiac patient. ]]> 2021-10-03 21:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1787993926 gartjimenez74 https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1787998184 One of the biggest moments in science was accidentally discovered in 1984. Geneticists Alec Jefferys was on a quest to trace genetic markers by looking at family generations. ]]> 2021-10-03 21:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1787998184 gartjimenez74 https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1788004541 The RU-486 pill—which prevents uterine implantation of a fertilized egg—was approved for use in France in 1988. The abortion medication is inexpensive, can be administered without a doctor, and is less invasive than surgical abortion techniques. While the FDA approved the pill in 2000, its use remains controversial.]]> 2021-10-03 21:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1788004541 gartjimenez74 https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1788008259 The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was the first mission to be launched as part of the Great Observatories program. HST was the first telescope designed to be visited in space by astronauts and have repairs performed. Its upgraded equipment has allowed HST to continue viewing black holes, planets, stars and other astronomical phenomenon. HST’s communication pipeline goes through the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS), then down to the ground station in White Sands, New Mexico, and then to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center]]> 2021-10-03 21:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1788008259 gartjimenez74 https://padlet.com/gartjimenez74/jhjybqbolfa8q8kq/wish/1788017697 Carbon nanotubes are microscopically thin tubes just a few nanometers thick. Sumio Iijima discovered them in 1991 when examining carbon under an electron microscope . Today, they’re used in countless applications among many scientific and engineering fields.

In 1994, they found BRCA 1 , named for being the BReast CAncer gene. In 1995, a second such gene was found, making huge strides in cancer prevention.

This little sheep was cloned from the cells of a Finn Dorset sheep and a Scottish Blackface sheep, and named for singer Dolly Parton.

The team used micromachining to reduce the size of three phone parts , allowing them to all fit on a single chip.
