Using computers for discovery
Predicting natural disasters
Weather forecasting
meteorologist can predict hurricanes
supercomputers
very powerful computers used to process a huge amount of data
two parts of predicting
Data of the weather is fed into the computer
data is procesed using algorithms to predict how the weather will change
Eartquakes
seismologists use
sensors
to detect movement in the earth
satellite images
of
supercomputers
able to predict earthquakes in the future
Space discovery
Life on Mars
Robots explore planets
They were designed tostudy the rocks in mars
2014
Spirit and Opportunity landed on mars
robots explorers did not find
Life on mars
Spirit robot explorer
Eagle landing
Apollo missions
succesfull
AGC
builted specially to guide spacecraft to the moon and back
Safe
1969: first landing on the moon
Medical discovery
Computer models
used to develop new
new drugs and other tratment
predict the effect
that new treatments will have in patients
animal and human tasting
clinical trial
test drugs on animals befere using them on humans
some medicines are already tested without using animals
would like to develop more computer models so that they can test drugs using computers
DNA
millions of calculations on large amounts of data
believe that in future a microscopic computer made of DNA will be able to travel through the body and repair cells
