The invention of the Maser, followed soon after by the Laser allowed a huge spread of technologies. From surveying, through to the check-out counter, the laser is ubiquitous today.
From a similar era, the computer, and its operational languages affect most parts of today's activities.
Both the Maser and Laser are themselves technologies, but they followed on theoretical speculation and research.
Modern science and technology have changed our lives in many dramatic ways. Airplanes, automobiles, communications satellites, computers, plastics, and television are only a few of the scientific and technological inventions that have transformed human life. Research by nuclear physicists has led to the development of nuclear energy as a source of power. Agricultural scientists have developed better varieties of plants and highly effective fertilizers. The development of antibiotics and other new drugs has helped to control many infectious diseases. Studies in anatomy and physiology have led to amazing new surgical operations and to the invention of lifesaving machines that can do the work of such organs as the lungs, kidneys, and heart.
That would be an LED or Light Emitting Diode an LED is a light
Nothing. An led is a solid state device.
led is an active divce
Unless the LED is a dual color LED, its reverse characteristics are similar to an ordinary diode.
Electricity was a big one. Also, the wheel was a pretty big deal back in the day, as was fire.
An important example is the discovery of the sources and use of electricity. Electricity allowed for the development of household gadgets as well as computers.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/1768/Some-stories-about-popular-inventions-and-discoveries This is a good article describing a number of technological advances that led to things we use today. For example, the modern microphone was invented in 1920.
Nationalism has led to technological and scientific advancements in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
by making the world better
Well first off, the sixties were full of discoveries in the adult toy business. Feathers and whips were introduced to shops everywhere resulting in the pioneering of the dildo. Also, we discovered advances in rockets which led to the first man on the moon in 1969.
Resources and technological advances
Scientific discoveries about chemicals led to the development of new materials, pharmaceuticals, and technologies that have revolutionized various industries. They have also contributed to advancements in medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection.
Because new opportunities and technological advances led to westward migration
Advances in science that led to very large and very small numbers.
Nanotechnology, quantum computing, and medical imaging techniques are some of the technological advances that have stemmed from the study of atoms. Understanding the behavior of atoms at the microscopic level has enabled the development of innovative applications and technologies in various fields.
It changed humankind's approach to understanding the natural world and led to new discoveries.
