Steam power became the energy source for many machines and vehicles, making it cheaper and easier to produce commodities in large amounts.
On November 11, 1886, Heinrich Hertz, the pioneer of high-frequency and radio technology, for the first time observed the propagation of an electromagnetic wave with this setup.
The volume of air traffic increased drastically over the past 50 years as a result of globalization and mass tourism and has a significant impact on climate change.
During the 19th century engineers identified and developed precise solutions for problems in the production of commodities—like the Bessemer process, the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel.
The discovery of the x-ray in 1895 marks the start of medical imagery for diagnostic purposes. The ability to look inside a living body revolutionized the way we look at medicine and human anatomy.
In 1884 Ottmar Mergenthaler patented the Linotype machine in the United States. With it characters are cast in type metal as a complete line rather than as individual characters.
Nanotechnology can revolutionize the production of materials and offer ecological solutions but it may have unexpected consequences or lead to mismanagement.
In October 1861 Philipp Reis presented his “telephone” to the members of the physics association in Frankfurt.
On his Apollo mission in 1968, astronaut Bill Anders shot one of the most well-known photographs of the Earth—“Earthrise.” It became a symbol for the fragility of the Earth and an icon for the environmental movement that soon followed.
