Using Computers for Discovery
Predicting natural disasters
Weather Forecasting
Two parts to predicting
Satellites and radar
Processing weather data using algorithms
Meteorologists can predict hurricanes
Supercomputers
Can process very huge amounts of data very quickly so it is a help for meteorologists
Earthquakes
Seismologists use
Sensors
To detect movement in the Earth
Satelite images
To see the Earth
Supercomputers will
Be able to predict earthquakes in the future
Space discovery
Eagle landing
Apollo Missions
AGC
Was built especially to guide spacecraft to the moon and back
Heavy,slow and difficult to use
Returned to Earth
Safe
First landing on the moon
Life on mars
Robots explore planets
2004
Robot explorers did not find
Life on Mars
Spirit robot explorer
Robots designed to study the rocks on Mars
To analyze the place and take samples of things such as rocks
Medical discovery
DNA
Large amounts of data involves millions of calculations
Only been possible using computers
DNA computers will be able in the future
Microscopic computers
Will be able to travel through the body and repair cells
Computer models
Predict the effect
Of new treatments on patients
Used to develop new
Drugs and other treatments
Animal and human testing
Clinicals trials can be dangerous too on animals and people involved
Develop more computer models
So they can test drugs using computers instead of using living beings
Clinical trial
Mean that before a new drug can be used, it must be tested in a small group of people
