The body of the future

The prosthesis creation, devices and materials to restore organs and tissues of the human body revolutionize the medicine. Also, a new biomateriales type is glimpsed that will help to the body to be treated to itself, impelling to the cells to autorepararse and to fix your own tissues.

These are some delos organs and reserve materials:

The artificial heart
Without doubts, a central organ and about the one that more you are continued experiencing. You are several models.
For the future it is thought magnetically of suspended small bombs and fed by transcutaneous energy fonts.

You bleed of reserve
Although the transfusions are medical routine procedures and the safety margins are very good, reasons exist to try to elaborate artificial blood. You are more easily sterilizing, n requires to coordinate it and you are some religious that reject the blood of another individual. Although you are still problems without solving, they are already carried out clinical tests of at least three products of modified haemoglobin.

Engineering of tissues
You are thought that in him future manipulated tissues could replace organs. The engineering of tissues can be used to restore, to maintain or to improve tissues and organs.

Hepatic engineering
Affections like the fibrosis or the cirrhosis prevent that the liver can be regenerated, as you make it in the case of receiving an acute wound.
The organ lack for transplantation has impelled the design of a liver bioartificial that can be used temporarily. In these device, the patient's plasma circulates in corporal form extra through a biorreactor that accomodate hepatic cells and blood vessels.

The neural roads
At the present time, people with deep deafness can solve your lack through the implant coclear. But in the future, the patients that lack an auditory intact ledge will be able to receive implants that will be connected directly with the brain.

Electric implants are also developing that can be connected directly to the retina, to restore the vision. And they are in studio with results promising, diverse strategies to fix the spinal cord.

Evolutionary technology - Robots vs human

The Project University Millennium of the United Nations you browse the form in the one that the humans and the robots will be related in the future. One of your analysis scenarios, nominally seat in the year 3000, you were called The climb and drop of the Empire Robot. In that scenario, looking back until today's day:

The robots evolved as the humans and philosophers, jesters, political, speakers, actors, teachers, acrobats, artists, poets and the human less followers' shepherds became. The society had a new system of chaste, and the humans transformed into a tolerated race and somehow minimized by the machines that could scroll them and to improve them in any measure of force, vitality, speed and submitted. The argument more important fact in the application of the genetic technology to improve the acting of the mental humans and physically it was "we have to stay at the same time with the robots." With the resources being scare, the natural and artificial selection began to operate in a serious way, dispensing the available resources among those entities that were the most capable to exploit them, in your biggest part, the robots. How were the humans able to recapture the control? The answer was to use the human ingenuousness, the creativity, occultism, dedication and distraction. You took some time, but you worked. This at the end began to stabilize the population of robots.

Many discard such a scenario and they cross out it of optimist and very oriented to the technological propaganda. You are many examples of robots scrolling human, and the technologies integrated in the Robot Predator and the Missiles Cruise of U.S. they are highly sophisticated examples of artificial intelligence used to murder human.

Many fear to the weapons of massive destruction based on ubiquitous small robots.

Still without a malicious programming, the robots and the humans don't simply have the same allowance or knowledge, driving this to accidents: in Jackson, Michigan, July 21 1984 a robot squashed a worker against a protection bar in the one that seemingly was the first death related with a robot in U.S. In LongBets, a market of futures, is impressive predictions that are a self-defense against that the robots will be an element standard in this century.

Inventions that made history

... and the men crowded the brain to give with what you/they needed...
We offer you fascinating more information about those inventions than they refreshed your life.

Scooters: The careened skates and power with two or three wheels were the ancestor of current "Scooters." Fabricated to prtir of 1915 for the American signature Car-Ped, hardly if tivieron success in your moment. After Second World War, the Italian industry imposed this vehicle starting from the pattern of two wheels.

DeltaWing: This derivate of the flight without motor that starting from the years eighty have put on in fashion, you were invented in 1948 by American Melvin Rogallo, of where you took your first name: Ala Rogallo. You were triangular and carried out with wire tissue recovered by a ciliconas movie that allowed to fly without mechanical traction.

Quartz clock: The ancestor of the current clocks was devised in 1929 by the American - not Swiss - Warren Alvin Morrison, The first drives demonstrated to be not very reliable, since your operation and acuity were subject to accelerations and unforeseeable pauses. They were almost needed thirty years to manage them; that yes, they perfected them in Switzerland.

Bear Shag: In America it was manufactured in series in 1902, by Russian Morris Mitchom, and you came to be a conversion fetishist of the chairman's image Theodore Roosvelt, nicknamed "Teddy" affectionately. In Germany, taken place by Richard Steiff, the puppet embodied that same year the symbol of the you take care of Berlin.

Chip: American Jack Saint Kilby, of Texas Instruments, invented the silicon chip in 1958, fabricated with capacitors and transitores. From then on, the chip has experienced a tendency to the miniaturization. Some gather up to a million transistors.

Electric guitar: In 1931, Californian Adolph Rickenbacker, Barth and Beauchamp, of for yes lovers of the rock and roll, created, without knowing it, the first electric guitar. A guitar convencinal arose of the amaññar idea arranging a wired microphone to a speaker, located under the box of the instrument.

Very good inventions

To invent... this verb, next to the one of "living" is one of those that the man has conjugated with more fruinción from the humanity's same start. Here we show you another list, of auqellos inventions that without doubts, they have given a draft to your life cotiadana.

Computer: This term, used from 1950, designates to the mathematical provided instruments of electronic circuits that confer you certain autonomy. German Wolhem Schickard, invented in 1623 the first apparatus to add. Mark 7, first calculator able to solve equations, began to work in 1937. Created by American Vannevar Bush, you weighed 8 tons and you measured 15 meters long for 2,40 of width, and you solved supreme in 0,3 seconds and divisions in 12.

Laser: Einstein exposed the main laws of the well-known phenomenon 80 years ago as Stimulated Emission of Radiations. This start, based on the amplification of a sheaf of photons, you were investigated for the first time by the American physique Charles Hard Townes. This scientist, discovered in 1951 the possibilities of the effect MASER, initials that correspond to the Amplification of Microwaves for Stimulated Emission of Radaciones.

Saccharin: During some investigations on a derivate of the tar, the American Anger Remsen and Constantin Fahlberg, found in 1879, the first alimentary edulcorating agent of synthesis. Up to 1938, you were only marketed in drug stores and medical low recipe. Starting from that year, you were used as preservative in foods indistriales. Your advantages: you don't contribute calories neither hydrates of carbon.

Diesel motor: After establishing Beau of Rochas the cycle of four times in the explosion motor, the engineer alemás Rudolf Diesel investigated the reason of the thermal mediocre performance of that motor. You were as well as you conceived in 1893 and you carried out in 1897, the combustion motor: when pressing and to heat the gasoil, this explodes spontaneously in spite of not having ignition spark.

Zipper: This closing system formed by two chains of brackets that united when throwing of a cursor, was shown up in the exhibition of Chicago 1893 by American Whitcomb L. Judson. The industry of the confection applied this system to great scale from the years twenty.

Inventions super useful

From where does the name sandwich come? To who were you happened the brilliant one you devise depoder to play games in our television? Who did make possible that the owners of house udieran to cook those homemade delicious pastries? Here you develamos all the answers and other more, being about these other inventions that changed our lives.

Electric beater: Coming from the American cafeterias in those that the beaten cásicoas was served, this electric apparatus arrived at the kitchens of half world to pratir of 1910. Your designers, American George Schmidt and Fred Osius, saw how you transformed into one of the appliances more domestic poopulares in few years. The General purpose signature Company, began to manufacture them in series before First World War.

Sandwich: During the sessions in the tables of game of London, the hunger distracted the duke Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). This aristocrat, sent that they brought it between two in 1762, flesh portions or cheese slices of bread. This way, while you played cards with a hand, with the other one he/she could eat without aborting your departure.

Artificial satellite: Julio Verne exposed in your novels the laws of Newton's start: a body rushed above the atmosphere to certain speed turns indefinitely around the Earth. October of 1957, 4 the Soviets passed to the practice and they inaugurated the space era when putting in the orbit Sputnik I.

Video games: A simulation of ping-pong departure, appeared in 1972 with the name of "Odyssey", the first domestic video game that were devised was. Your created, Norman Bushner (that, animated by the success, you founded the signature later on Atari), manufactured an apparatus that worked according to the start of the screen of liquid glasses.

You photograph in color: Since French Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce invented the picture in 1827, to reproduce color pictures was the floor of all. The first in achieving it were the brutánico James Clerk Maxwell, in the year 1861, taking three successive images of a blanket through three filters: blue, green and red. Then, you superimposed the negatives on a screen. The picture in color was possible in 1903, when Auguste and Louis Lumière devised the photographic boards Autochrome. They were made of spotty glass of colored potato starch of orange, green and violet, to those that a layer was applied of photosensitive.

Believe plastic but powerful that the steel

Scientific of the University of Michigan they created a light compound, similar to the plastic, more consistent and more brilliant than the steel. The material could be useful to improve products in microtecnología like microchips and biomedical sensors.

A group of American scientists of the University of Michigan could make actual the dream of any fanatic of the science fiction cinema when manufacturing "the transparent" steel. You are anything less than of a fine and light plastic as a paper sheet, but as resistant as the steel.

The material is compound for clay and a nontoxic very similar paste to the one that the children use in the school. Also, the plastic substance is biodegradable and, just as Nicholas it assured Kotov, educational manager of the investigation, your elaboration sues very little energy, money and you are completely ecologic.

According to the scientist, the invention it is ideal to design safe-deposit suits for military or policemen, or, to recover your vehicles by way of blindage. The investigators also recommended other utilities, as using it to reduce the required energy to separate gases in chemical factories, or to improve products of the microtecnología like microchips and biomedical sensors.

For long time, the scientists have tried to produce a material compound with blocks of microscopic sizes that could maintain your force. Kotov was able to make it imitating the molecular structure, as of bricks and cement that he/she are in the marine shells. "When you have a structure of bricks and cement, any blow is cushioned by each interface", the expert explained to the magazine Science.

The University of Michigan assured that Kotov already began to develop practical applications for the plastic compound that you/they could be marketed in one or two years.

Last civilizations

In the papyrus of I Crippled that is in the museum of the Vatican and that it was part of the real annals of Tutnosis III - about three thousand four hundred years ago -, interpreted by Boris Rachewiltz, he/she is this exciting story, relative to the topic that we are trying: "In the year 22, third month of winter, at the sixth hour of the day, the scribes of the House of the Life noticed the arrival of a fire circle in the sky, their body had a stick of long for a recruit of wide; although he/she didn't have head, their mouth he/she said goodbye to an encouragement of fetid scent". the papyrus Continues with more descriptions and it finishes saying: "... They fell of the sky fish and birds, a marvel never view since this country exists."   
  
In singing IV of Akenatón we read: "And it happened this way that the faraón of hunt of the lion being, and being in the middle of day, their eyes noticed a radiant disk posed on a rock... and their shine was as the gold and the purple, the faraón fell of knees before the disk."   
  
Andreas Faber-Kaiser, in their interesting book The clouds of the deceit", it presents the following appointment of the work Chinese Natural Science": Under the reign of Yia ji, about four thousand years ago, two suns were seen in the riverside of the river Feichang, one ascending in the east and the other one descending in the west that you/they roared as the thunder."   
Ke Yang, a professor of Chinese Ititeratura that was devoted to gather data on these strangers lights of the antiquity, tells us: "A day of January of the year 2 - year 314 of our era - under the emperor's reign Jianxing, the sun threw to earth and other troes suns they arose together above the horizon.  
And another day, the sun descended quickly toward the floor, and other three suns flew one next to other.."  
  
XVIII Alexandre Guy Pingré that published in Paris, in 1783, their celebrated work «Cometographie», it works that it is about comets and of extraterrestrial ships, he/she narrates in their two volumes that the first ufos avistement should notice according to its historical investigations, being based on observers' of the event testimonies, in the year 2296 before jesucristo, that is to say, four a thousand two hundred seventy years ago, it dates in that an ufo was seen in China and Japan; that is to say, four thousand two hundred years ago the emperor Tschón that reigned in that time in China, got of a guest of honor, a «extraterrestrial» the planes and the technical teaching that allowed him to be built a «flying vehicle», in which took trips to the space. In the book (manuscript) «the great Chinese thinker Travels to the Limitless bill Tschuang Tzu, in the third century before jesucristo how it flew on the backs of a gigantic bird until a height of about 52.000 m. going into in the space...   
  
In Rome, already arrived the year 192 after jesucristo, it happened during the empire of Pertinax an alarming fact. Rome was visited by an extraterrestrial globe-disk. Pertinax allowed to coin a currency in honor to such a visit. Leave in semirrelieve to the goddess Providence that lifts the arms in welcome sign. Another irrefutable test -for some very advanced investigators - that - the martian also repeated their visits in the second century of our Era they are the electric piles that were discovered in 1936 in Juyot Rabu, near Bagdad. Other ten were found later in Catesifonte. One of these piles or electric batteries, it is in the Museum of Bagdad. It produces 1,5 volts.
