Thomas Alva Edison is one of the greatest inventors (发明家). We can always find his inventions in our everyday life. One of his most famous inventions is the electric light (电灯). He tried thousands of times to make a long-lasting light bulb. Many people nowadays remember him for this important invention. In fact, many great inventions were built on his ideas.
But Edison was not a good student at school. The only thing he loved was to do new experiments (实验) . When he was still a child, he built his first lab to make different experiments there.
Edison once had an amazing experiment in his childhood. He thought that birds ate insects (昆虫) and these insects might make them fly. So he collected some insects and killed them to make juice. But who could help him to do that unusual experiment? He just let his servant (仆人) drink the juice! The result was that his servant almost died of this—after drinking it, the girl lost all feeling. But luckily, she was saved in time!
High-tech Pollution Protection Technology company Dyson has created headphones, with a purifying visor (面罩) to help people avoid polluted air. Called the Dyson Zone, it combines noise-canceling headphones with a visor that sits just in front of the nose and mouth, providing users with filtered (过滤的) air. The device is designed to fight against air and sound pollution.
Watch Your Stress When we feel stressed, our bodies produce something called cortisol (皮质的). Researchers from the University of California, US, recently developed a smart watch. It can monitor cortisol levels in your sweat (汗液) and give real- time information. The watch uses a special thin film. The film collects tiny drops of sweat. It can tell you when you have a high stress level. Remember to take a deep breath.
____ Do you like watching dandelion seeds (蒲公英种子) fly in the wind? This childhood pleasure is giving scientists some new ideas. A team from the University of Washington, US, created small, solar-powered Sensors (传感器). They fly like dandelion seeds and measure things like temperature and light. Their short "hairs" help slow their fall to the ground. |
