discoveries of the
scientists in the pictures:"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned above. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentally."

哈勃望远镜是有史以来最大、最精确的天文望远镜。它上面的广角行星相机可拍摄到几十到上百个恒星照片,其清晰度是地面天文望远镜的10倍以上,其观测能力等于从华盛顿看到1.6万千米外悉尼的一只萤火虫哈勃太空望远镜经典图片侧视的星系太空“蚂蚁”太空中的宝石猫眼星云惊恐的“双眼”完全曝光土星环星系之心棒旋星云公元1881~公元1955
青霉素的发明者亚历山大·弗莱明于1881年出生在苏格兰的洛克菲尔德。弗莱明从伦敦圣马利亚医院医科学校毕业后,从事免疫学研究;后来在第一次世界大战中作为一名军医,研究伤口感染。他注意到许多防腐剂对人体细胞的伤害甚于对细菌的伤害,他认识到需要某种有害于细菌而无害于人体细胞的物质。
1928年弗莱明做出了他的伟大发现。在他的实验室里,有一个葡萄球菌培养基暴露在空气之中,受到了一种霉的污染。弗莱明注意到恰好在培养基中霉周围区域里的细菌消失了,他正确地断定这种霉在生产某种对葡萄球菌有害的物质。不久他就证明了这种物质能抑制许多其它有害细菌的生长。这种物质──他根据其生产者霉的名称(青霉菌)将其命名为青霉素──对人或动物都无毒作用
弗莱明的结果发表于1929年,但是起初并未引起高度的重视。弗莱明指出青霉素将会有重要的用途,但是他自己无法发明一种提纯青霉素的技术,致使这种灵丹妙药十几年一直未得以使用。
终于在二十世纪三十年代末期,两位英国医学研究人员霍德华·瓦尔特·弗洛里和厄恩斯特·鲍里斯·钱恩偶然读到了弗莱明的文章。他俩重复了他的工作,证实了他的结果。然后他俩提纯青霉素,给实验室动物加以试用;1941年给病人试用。他俩的试验清楚地表明了这种新药具有惊人的效力。
1946年,在美国宾夕法尼亚大学研制成功世界上第一台程序控制的电子计算机ENIAC。它被用于新式武器弹道问题中许多复杂的计算。ENIAC是一个庞然大物,由18000个电子管、1500多个继电器和其它配件构成,上地170平方米,重达30吨;耗电150千瓦,每秒钟能运行5000次加法。这台计算机的使用条件也很苛刻,要求恒温、恒湿,为此还配备了一台30吨重的冷却设备。尽管如此,过去需要100多名工程师花费一年才能解决的问题,ENIAC只需两小时便能求出答案。 人类飞上天空的梦想在1903年由莱特兄弟首次实现,人类终于冲出了大地母亲的怀抱Language points1.think over v.仔细考虑, 重新考虑
