Recent inventions of mankind. Inventions. Morpher Foldable Cycling Helmet
I think it's not a secret for anyone that in recent years the world of technology has been developing rapidly, bringing various devices and mechanisms to our world that make our life easier. What are the most amazing inventions of the last decade? And which of them can we no longer be able to do despite their recent appearance?
Enjoy your viewing and wonderful mood throughout the day!
So let's go.
Android
One of the most significant inventions of the current decade is the Android operating system, which is currently used in almost all smartphones, tablets, e-books, TVs and other devices. The Android operating system is based on the Symbian operating system and the Java virtual engine. To date, more than 1.5 million applications and games are available for Android users.
Gps
GPS (Global Positioning System or Satellite Navigation System) was originally developed by the US Department of Defense. And in 2005, GPS began to be used commercially and was installed in phones, navigators and similar devices. The ability of GPS to determine the location in any weather conditions and in any place where there is access to the satellite signal has become an indispensable assistant for people who travel to unfamiliar cities or countries.
The revolutionary upheaval in social networks began with the introduction of Odnoklassniki in 2003. The following year, Odnoklassniki was named one of the 50 coolest sites of the year. But, as happens in such cases, his success was short-lived. The amazing idea of creating a social network was also brought to life by Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and several other social networks that have become world famous. Today, for example, Facebook has over 1.5 billion monthly active users, and Twitter has over 500 million unique users.
Computer vision, it seems to me, is a fairly successful attempt to represent human vision in the form of programs and other mechanisms. They recognize and analyze static and dynamic images (pictures and videos), convert them into numerical or symbolic information, and then they can compare, complement, retouch, evaluate and even track them. The embodiment of this mechanism is the Google glass application.
I think there is no person who has not watched a YouTube video at least once on the Internet. The world famous video hosting site YouTube was created in 6 months and later bought by Google for a whopping $ 1.65 billion. On the site users posted both professional clips and amateur videos. In addition, YouTube has agreements with many well-known companies such as the BBC and Lions Gate Entertainment that allow YouTube to post feature films and shows for public viewing.
While the iPhone was not the first smartphone, or even the first touchscreen smartphone, the iPhone was the most anticipated technology event in 2007. He stunned the world with his huge (at that time) multi-touch display, all-in-one functions (listening to music, watching videos, etc.), as well as other abundance of innovations that are still used in various types of devices. And only a year later, Android devices appeared, which competed with the iPhone.
Prius- autopilot in a car
Toyota has unveiled the Prius, a gasoline-powered, electric motor-generator hybrid vehicle for sale in the United States. In 2008, Google started a project on in-car autopilot. The Toyota Prius driver has no steering wheel, no accelerator and brake pedals. It does not need user interaction, and it gets its power from an electric motor. The Prius uses dedicated software, high-precision sensors and highly accurate digital maps to make the driver's journey smooth and safe.
Do you remember the days when, like many others, you used the buttons on your phone? Touch screens have completely taken over the world of technology. Today, almost everyone, from schoolchildren to the elderly, has touch screens. The wave of sensors has hit even the world's largest software developer Microsoft, which has redesigned its flagship Windows product.
Ipad
Apple's next pioneering invention in 2010 was the iPad., Which was positioned as a tablet computer for widespread use, including surfing the Internet, reading, watching movies, reading books and playing all kinds of games. Of course, at the moment, you won't surprise anyone with a tablet.
Created in 2008, hosting for storing, checking and collaborating on projects was a revolutionary idea. GitHub offers users capabilities that allow programmers to share their codes, applications, and more. Today GitHub is the largest web service for hosting and collaborative development of IT projects. And the creators of the project call it a social network for developers.
Something tells me that in the near future the inventors will definitely present us with something unpredictable.

About what technologies were invented in Russia or by Russians during the entire existence of science. Today we will tell you what Russia has become famous for recently, within the last few years.
Kaspersky Lab is one of the most significant Russian IT projects of the last decade. This company has received more than 450 patents in Russia, the USA, China and Europe, and its technologies are used in more than 200 countries around the world. Kaspersky Lab operates an IT threat research and analysis center that helps investigate hacker crimes, including cyber espionage and cyber sabotage. In 2016, the company received a patent for a technology to combat financial crimes on the Internet, which allows you to prevent the interception of a bank account or card number at the time of money transfer.
"T8"
T8 is the largest center for fiber-optic physics in Russia. The equipment developed by this company sets records. In 2012, T8 carried out signal transmission at a speed of 100 Gbit / s over a single-span fiber-optic communication line over a distance of 500 kilometers. A year later, T8 specialists managed to transmit the signal over the same 500 km, but already at a speed 10 times higher - 1 Tbit / s, for which 10 channels of 100 Gbit / s were used. In 2016, the company created the country's first 400 Gbps fiber optic system.
Stins Coman
Stins Coman is a Russian company that has developed the Beamcaster wireless optical communication system. This Beamcaster uses a highly focused laser beam to transmit data. Thanks to the choice of just such a storage medium, a high speed of the transmitted signal is achieved - up to 10 Gb / s. The technology has passed international certification and is used in Russia, the USA, Great Britain, Israel and other countries of the world.
NT-MTD is a company that creates nano-phabs and nano-eductors, devices that scientists have dreamed of throughout the 20th century. With their help, you can consider any substance, up to molecules and atoms. Technologies "NT-MTD" are head and shoulders above the inventions of American companies and in the future will help create advanced storage devices, screens and computers. 
Prisma is a Russian photo and video processing application that has become one of the phenomena of 2016. Its peculiarity is that it works with the use of neural networks and does not change the image, but draws it anew by analyzing a given sample. The neural network is capable of learning, that is, it does not need unambiguous programming, but can provide answers to incoming tasks based on previously processed data.
MOSCOW, 8 Feb - RIA Novosti. The post-Soviet era is considered to be a time of deep crisis in Russian science, however, both in the 1990s and later, Russian scientists managed to obtain world-class scientific results.
In honor of the Day of Russian Science, RIA Novosti agency conducted a large-scale survey of experts and compiled a list of the most important and brightest discoveries made by Russian scientists over the past 20 years. This list does not pretend to be complete and objective, it did not include many discoveries, but it gives an idea of the scale of what has been done in post-Soviet science.
Synthesis of superheavy elements will help discover new elements - scientistsExperiments on the synthesis of superheavy elements open up new "unexplored lands" to mankind and, ultimately, can lead to the production of long-lived superheavy elements, scientific director of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Academician Yuri Oganesyan told RIA Novosti.Super heavy elements
It was in the post-Soviet era that Russian scientists took the lead in the race for superheavy elements of the periodic table. From 2000 to 2010, physicists from the Flerov laboratory at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna near Moscow synthesized for the first time the six heaviest elements with atomic numbers from 113 to 118.
Two of them are already officially recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and. The application for the discovery of elements 113, 115, 117 is still pending at IUPAC.
"It is possible that one of the new elements will be given the name Moskovia," Andrey Popeko, deputy director of Flerov's laboratory, told RIA Novosti.
Exawatt lasers
A technology has been created in Russia that makes it possible to obtain the most powerful light radiation on Earth. In 2006, a PEARL (PEtawatt pARametric Laser) facility was built at the Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, based on the technology of parametric light amplification in nonlinear optical crystals. This installation produced a pulse with a power of 0.56 petawatts, which is hundreds of times greater than the power of all power plants on Earth.
Now the IAP is planning to increase the capacity of PEARL to 10 petawatts. In addition, it is planned, which involves the creation of a laser with a power of up to 200 petawatts, and in the future - up to 1 exawatt.
Such laser systems will allow the study of extreme physical processes. In addition, they can be used to initiate thermonuclear reactions in targets; they can be used to create laser sources of neutrons with unique properties.
Ultra-powerful magnetic fields
Physicists from the Russian nuclear center in Sarov under the leadership of Alexander Pavlovsky in the early 1990s developed a method for producing record high magnetic fields.
With the help of explosive magneto-cumulative generators, where the blast wave "compressed" the magnetic field, they managed to obtain a field strength of 28 megagauss. This value is an absolute record for an artificially obtained magnetic field; it is hundreds of millions of times higher than the strength of the Earth's magnetic field.
With the help of such magnetic fields, it is possible to study the behavior of matter under extreme conditions, in particular, the behavior of superconductors.
Oil and gas won't run out
The press and environmentalists regularly remind us that oil and gas reserves will soon - in 70-100 years - come to an end, which could lead to the collapse of modern civilization. However, scientists from the Russian Gubkin University of Oil and Gas argue that this is not the case.
Through experiments and theoretical calculations, they proved that oil and gas can be formed not as a result of the decomposition of organic substances, as the generally accepted theory says, but in an abiogenic (non-biological) way. They found that in the upper mantle of the Earth, at depths of 100-150 kilometers, there are conditions for the synthesis of complex hydrocarbon systems.
"This fact allows us to speak of natural gas (at least) as a renewable and inexhaustible source of energy," Professor Vladimir Kucherov from the Gubkin University told RIA Novosti.
Lake Vostok
Perhaps the last major geographical discovery on Earth belongs to Russian scientists - the discovery of the subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica. In 1996, together with British colleagues, they discovered it using seismic sounding and radar observations.
Drilling a well at Vostok station allowed Russian scientists to obtain unique data on the climate on Earth over the past half a million years. They were able to determine how the temperature and CO2 concentration changed in the distant past.
In 2012, a Russian polar explorer managed to penetrate for the first time into this relict lake, which had been isolated from the outside world for about a million years. The study of water samples from it, possibly, will lead to and allow drawing conclusions about the possibility of the existence of life outside the Earth - for example, on Jupiter's moon Europa.
Mammoths - contemporaries of the ancient Greeks
Mammoths were contemporaries of the Cretan civilization and became extinct already in historical time, and not in the Stone Age, as was previously thought.
In 1993, Sergei Vartanyan and his colleagues discovered the remains of dwarf mammoths, whose growth did not exceed 1.8 meters, on Wrangel Island, which, most likely, was the last refuge of this species.
Radiocarbon dating, carried out with the participation of specialists from the Geography Department of St. Petersburg University, showed that mammoths lived on this island until 2000 BC. Until that moment, it was believed that the last mammoths lived on Taimyr 10 thousand years ago, but new data showed that mammoths existed even during the Minoan culture in Crete, the construction of Stonehenge and the 11th dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs.
The third kind of people
The work of Siberian archaeologists under the leadership of Academician Anatoly Derevyanko made it possible to discover a new, third type of human being.
Until now, scientists have known about two higher species of ancient people - Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals. However, in 2010, a study of DNA from bones showed that 40 thousand years ago in Eurasia, a third species lived with them, which received the name of the Denisovans.
Methane and water on Mars
Although in the post-Soviet period Russia was unable to carry out successful independent interplanetary missions, Russian scientific instruments on American and European probes and ground-based observations brought unique data on other planets.
In particular, in 1999, Vladimir Krasnopolsky from MIPT and his colleagues using an infrared spectrometer on the Hawaiian CFHT telescope for the first time recorded the absorption lines of methane on Mars. This discovery became a sensation, since living things are the main source of methane in the atmosphere on Earth. These data were then confirmed by measurements from the European probe Mars-Express. While the Curiosity rover has not yet confirmed the presence of methane in the Martian atmosphere, in this search.
The Russian HEND instrument aboard the Mars-Odyssey spacecraft, created under the leadership of Igor Mitrofanov from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, showed for the first time that there are huge reserves of subsurface water ice at the poles of Mars and even in mid-latitudes.

February 10, 2014 2:29 pm Another pyramid discovered in Egypt and other scientific discoveries of the weekEvery Monday the editorial staff of the site selects the most unexpected scientific news of the past week. In this issue: why children forget what happened to them before the age of 7, who built the pyramid discovered in Egypt, how fertility depends on the level of education of women, and much more.He began his work by comparing mythological motives among the natives of Siberia and America, and then included in his research data on the cultures of almost all the peoples of the world, which made it possible to paint an impressive picture of the primary settlement of people around the globe.
He proved that there are stable coincidences of certain mythological motives in certain regions, which correlate with the most ancient movements of primitive tribes, which is confirmed by the data of archeology and genetics.
"Thus, we have - for the first time in the history of science - a method for a relatively accurate assessment of the time of existence of the components of the oral tradition, which solves a number of central problems of folklore studies or, at least, gives researchers a guideline for further research," - Professor Sergey Neklyudov from the Russian State University for the Humanities.
Millennium Challenge
Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman in 2002 proved the Poincaré conjecture - one of the seven "Millennium Problems" from the list of the Clay Mathematical Institute. The hypothesis itself was formulated back in 1904, and its essence boils down to the fact that a three-dimensional object without through holes is topologically equivalent to a sphere.
Perelman was able to prove this hypothesis, but he received unprecedented popularity in the media when he received $ 1 million from the Clay Institute for this proof.

Many remember the statement that need is the mother of invention, but what, then, can be called its father? The ability to notice things and phenomena around them is precisely the characteristic that allows attentive people to make an important invention out of an inconspicuous little thing for others. 10 of the most amazing inventions, born partly by chance, but not without the manifestation of commendable ingenuity of inventors.
The inquisitive mind never stops and is constantly in search of new information. Modern inventions are a prime example of this. What inventions are you familiar with? Do you know how they influenced the course of history and all of humanity? Today we will try to open the curtain of the secrets of the world of new and relatively recently invented technologies.
Definition of "invention"
Real success in life or business can only be achieved by using advanced technology. It is insignificant in what area - it can be discoveries in human psychology or robotics. Anyone who owns the know-how has every chance of becoming number one in his business.
An invention is a new solution that can be expressed in a new technology or material product.
The concept of "invention": points of view
1. Social. It all depends on the usefulness of the product. Harmful are cigarettes or alcohol. Those that don't make sense are shoes with a built-in navigator. Useful - the invention of anesthesia.
2. Legal. Innovation must be patented and regulated by law.
3. Economic. The expediency of the invention is evaluated from the point of view of the possibility of further sale or use.
4. Scientific and technical. The know-how must be fully described: manufacturing technology and parameters.
Modern scientific inventions must necessarily include all of the above points. If, for example, a product is not economically viable, then it makes no sense to manufacture it.
Significant inventions of the 20th century
The twentieth century was rich in important modern inventions. More discoveries have been made than in the previous decades. Scientists and inventors really did a great job and the greatest achievements were revealed to the world.
If you describe each of them, then you get a whole book. And, perhaps, more than one volume. Therefore, we will only talk about a few of them.
1. Sound cinema. Yes, the fact that we can now enjoy films with sound, we owe the Frenchman Leon Gaumont. It was he who introduced this wonderful product at the beginning of the century.
2. Airplane. The famous Wright brothers made the first flight in human history with this invention. The most interesting thing is that it was not they who invented the plane. The brothers combined the developments of several inventors in their brainchild. But it was with Wright that this design took off.
3. Modern inventions in the field of technology are amazing. And we can definitely say that the washing machine, created by Alva Fischer, made life easier for more than one generation of women.
4. Assembly conveyor. Many have heard about Henry Ford and his cars, but not everyone knows that it was this man who created the technology, which was later adopted by many factories.
5. Another ingenious invention was the adhesive plaster. It was invented in the USA.
6. What would modern medicine be without antibiotics? Penicillin invented and made significant contributions to medicine, thereby saving many lives.
7. There is one more item that is used by a fairly large number of people. This is a mobile phone. In those years, it was quite cumbersome, but thanks to the efforts of many, it acquired its current form.
8. The Internet appeared in the world in the 70s. And now it is an irreplaceable invention of the 20th century.
Notable innovators
Great scientists and inventors have always existed. Sometimes they are called geniuses, but this is probably the most accurate definition for such people. They created amazing things that humanity still uses today.
Modern inventions differ from those of antiquity. This is all due to the level of technology development, new raw materials. New solutions are sometimes more elegant. But let's talk about people who bring their seemingly crazy ideas to life.
1. Thomas Edison. On his account, he has a huge number of inventions. More than a thousand patents are proof of this. An important factor is that he had many workers on his staff, who embodied all his ideas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that it is indirectly related to some inventions, but this is no longer so important. Thanks to him, we have a picture tube and an electric light bulb.
2. Nikolay Tesla. This is a truly outstanding person. He possessed unique knowledge. He was little known during his lifetime, but now everyone knows his name. We owe it to him for the emergence of electricity on a commercial basis. His modern inventions have expanded the knowledge of scientists about many things. Tesla held 111 patents.
3. George Westinghouse. Created a brake system for trains. Later this mechanism was improved and now we can safely ride in large cars and buses. He experimented a lot with the creation of a perpetual motion machine.
4. Jerome Hal Lemelson. Not as famous as Tesla, but despite this, he made a significant contribution to the technology of the 20th century. The invention of video cameras and tape recorders is proof of that. Robots in industry, warehouses with automation - it's all Jerry's work. Believe it or not, it was this person who helped detect cancer at various stages. Contributed to Has over six hundred patents.
Modern inventions in technology
Scientists of the 20th and 21st centuries did a great job and made it possible for amazing things to be born. Many modern discoveries and inventions help both in everyday life of a person and in studies, production, science and medicine. New developments are ongoing. In the 20th century, a qualitative breakthrough in human thought was made, and this is confirmed by many decisions in all areas of human existence.
The Large Hadron Collider. It was through this invention that the existence of such an element as the t-quark was confirmed. This made a splash in the world of natural sciences. Many discoveries have been made thanks to the LHC.
A ship that allows space travel. Tourism in space is already the near future and is not a fantasy at all. In the distant future, it will be relatively inexpensive, but now travelers will have to spend a lot for such an opportunity.
Discoveries in medicine
Modern inventions in medicine deserve special attention. This part of human life is truly multifaceted. It is even difficult to imagine so many directions in which research and discoveries are carried out.
Medicine does not stand still and every year new medicines, devices, technologies appear.
One of these is an artificial heart. This is a unique option for people who are afraid to transplant someone else's. It completely simulates the work of a real heart, thanks to special sensors.
The second important invention is considered to be nanorobots, which will remove cancer cells. So far, the experiments have been carried out only on animals, but this year they plan to conduct studies on people who have the last stage of cancer and a prognosis of life in a few months. If with the help of these small robots it is possible to cure this disease, it will be a huge breakthrough in the world of medicine.
Printed organs. Everyone knows that almost anything can be done with 3-D printers. Recently, such a technique has been developed for printing fabrics. So far, experiments are being carried out on mice. After it becomes clear that there is no rejection of new organs, it is possible that the production of organs will begin to save lives.
Innovation for everyday life
Such inventions do not claim to be recognized worldwide and are sometimes funny or useless. But some of them are worth considering.
1. Hot knife. Very comfortably. Allows you to save time and not wait for the oil to melt a little.
2. Mirror in the ironing board. Especially true for women. You just iron the thing, turn the board over and watch it sit on you. Ideal for small apartments.
3. Umbrella with a cup holder. Convenient for busy people. The handle has a hole for coffee or tea. You can have a drink on the way to work.
4. Tie-flask. On a hot day, you are constantly thirsty. Pour water into your tie and you won't be thirsty.
5. Shoes with a navigator.
Life-changing inventions
Anesthesia. In the form in which we see it now, it appeared in the middle of the 19th century. This made it possible to carry out more operations without fear of pain in the patient.
Radio. The transmission of information "over the air" previously seemed inconceivable. Now this is a common thing.
Telephone. The means of communication allowed us to expand the boundaries of human communication.
Plastic. A huge number of things are made from it in our daily life.
Russian innovators
There were and still are many outstanding personalities in the USSR and modern Russia. Modern left-handers or Russian masters and their inventions have brought many wonderful discoveries to their country and the world.
Korolev made a huge contribution to the development of the space industry. He invented the first Earth satellite and ballistic missile. Created a spaceship. Sergei Pavlovich was a key person in the development of astronautics. The launch of the first man into space was carried out under his control.
Demikhov is the first person in the world to perform an organ transplant. In this case, it was the lungs and the heart. In the years when Vladimir Petrovich was doing such experiments were considered immoral, but he did not give up and performed thousands of organ transplants in dogs. He always pursued only one, the highest goal - to help sick people and prolong their life. Organ transplants are not new today, and all thanks to the efforts of one person.
Kurchatov created the world's first nuclear power plant. And Tsiolkovsky made a huge contribution to astronautics, more details of his work can be found in books or in the museum of the same name.
What's the best invention in the 21st century?
In fact, it is difficult to single out something specific. Many modern inventions make an invaluable contribution to the development of mankind.
However, it is worth mentioning one thing that may have brought this article to you. These are social networks. We remember that the Internet itself was invented in the twentieth century, but the means of communication have already appeared in the present. Finding a friend is now very easy. Many complexes can be disguised during virtual communication. Information is now spreading at great speed. At the moment, for the development of human relations, this is one of the most significant technologies.
New items 2016-2017
Rescue corps in the structure of the aircraft. When the plane crashes, the part with the passengers is detached and lands on the surface without harm to human health.
People with disabilities often cannot quickly adapt to the world around them, but the technologies of the present can make their world a little better. The proof is a tablet for the blind.
Water cleaner. Everyone knows how catastrophically polluted rivers, seas and oceans are. To solve the problems, scientists have come up with such a simple mechanism that removes garbage.
The most modern inventions allow plowing seas and oceans, conquering space, creating new materials and saving lives. It is truly magnificent and the world we live in is amazing.
