Percy Lebaron Spencer: Inventor of Microwave

Image
Percy Lebaron Spencer (9 July 1894 – 8 September 1970) was an American engineer and inventor. He became known as the inventor of the microwave oven. By 1939 Spencer became one of the world’s leading experts in radar tube design. One day while building magnetrons, Spencer was standing in front of an active radar set when he noticed the candy bar he had in his pocket had melted. Spencer was not the first to notice this issue, but he was the first to investigate it. He decided to experiment using food, including popcorn kernels, which became the world’s first microwaved popcorn. In another experiment, an egg was placed in a tea kettle, and the magnetron was placed directly above it. The result was the egg exploding in the face of one of his co-workers, who was looking in the kettle to observe. Spencer then created the first true microwave oven by attaching a high density electromagnetic field generator to an enclosed metal box. Percy Spencer invented the first microwave oven after...

World's Thinnest Sheet of Glass Invented on Accident

Image
The world's thinnest sheet of glass is just a molecule thick, setting a new world record set to appear in the Guinness Worlds Records 2014 Edition. As so often the case, the invention was a serendipitous, born during the pursuit of something else altogether. The researchers, from Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm, were making graphene, a 2D sheet of carbon atoms in chicken wire crystal formation, on copper foils in a quartz furnace when they noticed some kind of "muck" on it.

How Would Fingerprint Technology Benefit iphone

Image
Reports indicate Apple is going to put a fingerprint sensor into its new flagship phone, but what would that mean in practice? Follow the iPhone 5S and 5C launch live here. A fingerprint reader or sensor scans your fingerprint and matches it to a pre-defined image of your finger. Since every fingerprint is unique, the system can then securely verify your identity. Potentially, fingerprint readers could sound the death knell for passwords. The multi-character password is a failing piece of security, given that pretty much any password can be cracked by high-powered computers these days, regardless of how long or complex it is. Two-factor authentication, where another piece of the security puzzle, such as a secret code or key, is used to strengthen simple password logins is currently the best system on offer to consumers. In theory, fingerprint scanners could allow users to completely remove the need for passwords, securely logging into their phones, and enabling higher securit...
