Do you know that today we have the technology to produce synthetic Diamonds?


The idea of creating a man made diamond is a very appealing one--a kind of alchemy (the process of turning base metal into gold), but one that is,remarkably achievable.Synthetic diamonds actually comes in two kinds :-simulant (which are diamond-like in looks and structures )and synthetic,where the chemical structure of the stone is also the same.The latter is "true"synthetic diamond.
       Simulant diamonds made from silicon carbide were first discovered by Henri Moissan in a meteorite crater in 1893.They were later reproduced by him and others in the lab,most famously Willard Hersey,whose diamond can still be seen st the McPherson museum at Kansas.It was not until 1953,however,when a team led by Baltzar von Platen (1898-1984), working in secret for the Swedish electrical company ASEA,actually succeeded in generating sufficient heat and pressure to create the first synthetic diamond.Their machine generated 83,000 atmospheres of preassure and ran for two hours.Initially it was so dangerous that von platen ordered all non essential personnel from the room when the machine was switched on.
       The discovery was kept secret for fear of competitors stealing their methods,and it was a team working separately for General electric a year later that first publicly claimed to have created a synthetic diamond.Commercial production followed and man made diamonds have since found a wealth of uses.In addition to jewellery ,they are used as hard edges on cutting tools and have various uses in electronics on complex machinery such as particle accelerators and precision measurement devices.
       The common principle of creation of diamond is to subject pure carbon to extreme heat and preassure and the cool is super slowly.

That's all guys

DVD (DIGITAL VIDEO DISC)

After the futuristlc-looking compact dtse (CD) took the  audio market by srorm-consigning the humble  cassette rape to the back of  billion cupboardS-it  was only a matter of time beFore technolagicalwizards  set their sights on abolishing the VHS tape.     Although the technology for LaserDise already existed, it never really took off in the way that CD technology did, and so the market for a compact digital video disc was still very much open. The first proposals for a high-density CD were put forward in 1993, leading to the creation of two competing formats. Electronic powerhouses Sony and Philips led their collected investors forward with the MMCD format. going head to head with indusrry giants Toshiba, Masushita, and Time Warner's effort. the SD. Then, in 1995, a combined effort-known as the DVD-was off,cially announced and consequently developed by a consorrium of ten companies.

Who invented the Internet?

Advanced Research Project Agency develops the Internet. In 1963, Advanced Research Project Agency(ARPA) unit,set up by us defense department,began to build a computer network.The reason behind this was the fear of nuclear threat by Soviet Union,it aimed to link computers at different locations,so the researchers could share data electronically without having fixed route between them which made their system less vulnerable to attack--even nuclear ones.  The mechanism        Schematic diagram by Larry roberts Data was converted into telephone signals using a modem( Mo dulator- Dem odulator), Developed by AT&T in the late 1950s.In 1960s,key advances were made,including "packet switching" -- a system of packaging,labelling and routing data that enables it to be delivered across the network between machines.Paul baran proposed this system,which broke each message down into tiny chunks.This would be fired into the network,which would then route("swit...
