Mirrors in Telescopes The human eye cannot detect much light because of the small diameter of the retina‚ so telescopes and microscopes are used to help us see more than what humans are naturally capable of. Lenses and mirrors are the two things that can make a star that is a billion miles away look like it so much closer. Arizona is home to one of largest telescopes in the world‚ the Large Binocular Telescope. It has two twenty-seven foot mirrors to create the best and clearest image for the

Many advancements in the field of genetics have occurred in the recent decades. Predicted to be the future of genetics‚ a new form of gene therapy known as CRISPR is one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in history. The argument I would like to make is that although CRISPR has the capability to prevent serious disorders such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease‚ it is too dangerous given its novelty and safety and ethical concerns. Having discussed this technology in several classes

“Brainport Vision Device”. BrainPort could provide vision-impaired people with limited forms of sight. To produce tactile vision‚ BrainPort uses a camera to capture visual data. The optical information -- light that would normally hit the retina -- that the camera picks up is in digital form‚ and it uses radio signals to send the ones and zeroes to the CPU for encoding. Each set of pixels in the camera ’s light sensor corresponds to an electrode in the array. The CPU runs a program that
