WANT IT? PRINT IT!
The wheel on your little brother's favourite toy car has broken, and he's very upset. You're not worried, though. You just take some pictures, load them into your 3D printer and in short time, the new part is sitting in your hand.
3D printers are machines that print objects. Believe it or not, the first 3D printer was invented way back in 1984, and in 1993, the first 3D printing company was set up! Since 2004,3D printers have reached a price and size that allows almost anybody to own one, and in 2018, over half a million were sold.
3D printers work in a similar way to the old computer printer, which shot tiny jets of ink onto paper to make words. Instead of ink, however,3D printers shoot plastic, metal, wax or another material that hardens instantly. By adding thousands of layers,the 3D shape is slowly made.
People are using their 3D printers to make any object you can imagine, from jewellery to beautiful ornaments. Sports companies are using them to make boots and trainers that perfectly fit athletes' feet. But 3D printers can have a more serious use-one that might save your lifel Doctors are using them to create medical implants. for example bones and joints that exactly match the patients. This makes surgery easier and recovery faster.
3D printers are developing all the time, and are becoming the piece of technology every home should have. And soon, who knows-you might be able to print one yourself.

Tạm dịch văn bản

Bánh xe trên chiếc ô tô đồ chơi yêu thích của em trai bạn đã bị hỏng, và anh ấy rất khó chịu. Tuy nhiên, bạn không lo lắng. Bạn chỉ cần chụp một số hình ảnh, tải chúng vào máy in 3D của mình và trong thời gian ngắn, phần mới đã nằm trong tay bạn.
Máy in 3D là máy in các vật thể. Bạn có tin không, chiếc máy in 3D đầu tiên được phát minh vào năm 1984, và vào năm 1993, công ty in 3D đầu tiên được thành lập! Kể từ năm 2004, máy in 3D đã đạt đến mức giá và kích thước cho phép hầu như ai cũng có thể sở hữu một chiếc, và vào năm 2018, hơn nửa triệu chiếc đã được bán ra.
Máy in 3D hoạt động theo cách tương tự như máy in máy tính cũ, bắn những tia mực cực nhỏ lên giấy để tạo thành chữ. Tuy nhiên, thay vì mực, máy in 3D bắn nhựa, kim loại, sáp hoặc vật liệu khác cứng ngay lập tức. Bằng cách thêm hàng nghìn lớp, hình dạng 3D từ từ được tạo ra.
Mọi người đang sử dụng máy in 3D của họ để tạo ra bất kỳ đồ vật nào bạn có thể tưởng tượng, từ đồ trang sức đến đồ trang trí đẹp mắt. Các công ty thể thao đang sử dụng chúng để sản xuất giày ủng và giày tập hoàn toàn phù hợp với chân của các vận động viên. Nhưng máy in 3D có thể có một công dụng nghiêm trọng hơn - một công dụng có thể cứu mạng bạn Các bác sĩ đang sử dụng chúng để tạo ra các bộ phận cấy ghép y tế. ví dụ xương và khớp chính xác phù hợp với bệnh nhân. Điều này giúp phẫu thuật dễ dàng hơn và phục hồi nhanh hơn.
Máy in 3D đang phát triển mọi lúc, và đang trở thành công nghệ mà mọi nhà nên có. Và chẳng bao lâu nữa, ai biết-bạn có thể tự in một cái.

Inventions for education

(Các phát minh cho giáo dục)

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)


Phong: Dad, I've saved some money since Tet holiday. I think I'll buy something new for my studies.

Dad: Good idea, Phong. What do you want to buy?

Phong: I'm not sure. It's hard to choose between a smartphone and a laptop. They're both useful and I've wanted either of them for a long time. What do you think, Dad?

Dad: Perhaps a laptop is a better choice. Since laptops were invented, they've allowed us to study better and work faster. They've completely changed our lives in the last 20 years.

Phong: That's true, Dad. But smartphones have also improved the way we work and study.

Dad: Really? I didn't know smartphones were suitable for learning.

Phong: Well, it's actually a lot of fun to learn with educational apps. It's also very convenient for learners to use them. Some of my classmates love using them on their smartphones. The apps allow them to communicate and learn at the same time.

Dad: I didn't know that! There have been so many valuable inventions. Hmm... Perhaps you should ask your teacher. She may be able to help you decide.

(Trí tuệ nhân tạo trong giáo dục)

In 2000, Asimo, a robot created by Honda, amazed everyone by just walking down the stairs. Twenty years later, a robot named Sophia can even communicate with people by using human language and expressing emotions.

However, robots are just one example of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the study and development of machines that can copy human intelligence. Nowadays, Al has been applied to various areas of life.

At home, devices such as vacuum cleaners can now use AI to measure the room size and recognise any furniture. They can then decide on the most effective way to clean the house.

In transport, AI can be used on many smartphones to collect information about traffic. This can then help drivers find the most suitable route. Travelling has become much more convenient thanks to AI.

At work, the uses of AI are even more useful and exciting. Computer programmes, such as AI software or chatbots, can help customers plan their holidays, book flights and hotels, and answer questions.

AI is one of the most important inventions of the 21st century. It has completely changed our daily work and life.

COMPUTER HARDWARE

A computer needs both hardware and software to run, but decisions about the hardware must be made before you buy a computer. Understanding some basic information about the hardware is very important and will help you decide on the most suitable computer for you.

• Processors: The processor controls all of the activities of a computer. Processor speed is often shown in gigahertz (GHz). High processor speed means that your computer can run faster.

• Random Access Memory, or RAM: It is displayed in gigabytes (GB). The RAM shows how powerful your computer is. The more RAM in a computer, the more tasks your computer can do at the same time.

• Storage space: It shows how much information (such as documents, music, photos, etc.) a computer can store. It is also displayed in gigabytes (GB). There is other information about the hardware, such as the screen size, the battery, and the weight, that you need to know before choosing the best computer for you.

                                                Science Special's Top 100 inventions

What do you think is the greatest invention ever? We're continuing our countdown of the 100 greatest inventions of all time. This week we reveal inventions 25 to 22.

25 Before the microscope was invented, people could not see very small things. The microscope, which was invented around 1590, was first made by a Dutch scientist called Zacharias Janssen. Objects looked three to nine times bigger under this microscope.

24 Daniel Fahrenheit, who was a Dutch scientist, invented the mercury thermometer in 1714. He also developed the Fahrenheit scale to use on his thermometer. That temperature scale, which is still used in some countries today, is named after him.

23 The light bulb, which was invented in 1879, was first made by Thomas Edison and his team. They tried more than 3,000 designs before introducing their electric light to the world. Edison, who also created many other inventions, is remembered as America's greatest inventor.

22 Robert Goddard, who was an American physicist, invented the liquid-fueled rocket in 1926, marked the beginning of the space age. Its first flight, which happened on March 16th, 1926,

1. The negative impacts of the internet

2. How the internet has changed our lives

Many intentions have been created throughout history. Many of them have changed our lives. In my opinion, the most important is the internet.

I think the internet is important because it has changed our lives in many ways. For example, the way we communicate has changed significantly. We can communicate with each other instantly using the internet. Many people even spend more time connecting with other people on the internet than in real life. If you go to a busy café today, you will probably see most people are communicating with their phones and laptops instead of talking to the person next to them.

The internet has also allowed us to work together in a way that was impossible before, such as working from home and working with people from other countries. This is okay. Both ways of working are becoming more popular. By connecting their computer to the internet, people can access the same resources wherever they are in the world. Today, people from all over the globe can work together closely without ever meeting face-to-face.

Although the internet is quite a new invention, it now plays an important role in our lives. Without it, things would be very different.

Pepper – the emotional robot

 

Imagine a robot which can tell how you feel just by listening to the sound of your voice and looking at your body language. Meet Pepper, the ‘social robot’, which can understand human emotions!

 

Pepper was created by a French company called Aldebaran in 2014. It went on sale in Japan in 2015 and in the USA the following year.

 

Pepper is a humanoid robot. This means that it looks a bit like a person. It is 1.2 m tall with a head and two arms, and two wheels to move around. Its head has got four microphones and two HD cameras which allow it to navigate and connect with people. Pepper can understand 20 languages and it knows if it’s talking to a man, woman or child. It can also understand how a person is feeling by the tone of their voice and their body language. And if you’re feeling sad, it tries to make you happy! It can tell you a joke, sing a song and even dance to cheer you up!

 

Some hospitals use Pepper to greet new patients and walk with them to the correct department. Also, it can cheer up sick children and help them do their physical exercises!

 

The inventors of Pepper are always creating new software to improve the robot. They also say that Pepper itself has the ability to learn over time! So, who knows what Pepper will think of next to put a smile on our faces!

The Invention of the 20th Century – by James Smith

I believe that the Internet has had the biggest impact on all inventions of the 20th century. First of all, the Internet reshaped the world. It allows us to find everything we want in seconds and learn about it in detail. There are millions of educational videos and online courses to help us learn about various things. Furthermore, the Internet allows us to do so much, such as communicating instantly with anyone in the world, finding out news at any time and shopping online 24 hours a day. We can also be entertained by the Internet because it allows us to watch films and videos at the click of a button. To sum up, the Internet has had an impact on almost every part of our lives and it is the greatest invention in recent human history!

(DNA viết tắt cho chữ gì? Nghe và đọc để tìm hiểu.)

DNA – The Blueprint of Life

DNA is one of the most important things in all living creatures. But what is it exactly? And why is it so important?

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms.

Our DNA contains all the genetic details that make us what we are. Instructions for how our cells grow and work are all inside our DNA. So DNA is a kind of instruction book for how we look.

We have forty-six chromosomes in our bodies, twenty-three from each of our parents, which join together to make pairs. The discovery of chromosomes has been one of the biggest and most important scientific discoveries in human history.

Scientists study DNA for lots of reasons. It can help them understand and treat diseases, genetically modify or improve food, identify people from hair or blood samples, and even create new life through technology like cloning (an identical copy of a plant or animal).

By understanding our DNA and the information inside it, we can understand a lot about ourselves and our health. For example, we can see if we might get certain health problems or illnesses, and we can change our lifestyles to avoid them.

The secrets inside DNA are the key to all life. The more we learn about them, the more we learn about ourselves and the world around us!

In 1997, Joe Jacobson was working as a researcher for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). One summer, he went on holiday to the coast. He was lying on a beach when he finished his book. Unfortunately, he didn't have another one with him. At that moment, he imagined an electronic book that he could download any time he wanted and read in direct sunlight. It was a 'Eureka' moment. His vision became E Ink technology and helped develop the e-readers that we have today.

THE LIGHT BULB

A. The electric light, one of the everyday inventions that have great influences on our lives, was not "invented" in the traditional sense. Thomas Alva Edison was neither the first nor the only person trying to invent a light bulb. Twenty three different light bulbs were developed before Edison's. However, Edison is often known as the inventor because his version was better than the earlier versions.

B. Edison was born on 11 February 1847, in Milan, Ohio. He was the youngest of seven children of Samuel and Nancy Edison. His father was a political activist from Canada, while his mother was an accomplished schoolteacher and a major influence in Edison's early life.

C. In 1878, Thomas Edison began serious research into developing a practical lamp. Edison and his lab associates conducted thousands of experiments to develop the electric light bulb. The greatest challenge was to find a material that could serve as a long-lasting filament. By 4 November 1879, he filed a patent for an electric lamp using a carbon filament.

D. This discovery marked the beginning of commercial light bulbs. In 1880, Thomas Edison's company, Edison Electric Light Company, began marketing its new product. Almost every household now owns one light bulb. The invention has put an end to humans' experience of darkness.

Another advantage is that robotic vacuum cleaners are easy to store and easy to carry. A robotic vacuum is usually much smaller than a vacuum cleaner, so it can be easily stored in a closet, under a bed, or anywhere. Last but not least, robotic vacuum cleaners are cost efficient. They are much cheaper than expensive housekeepers. The machine can be set to clean exactly as we wish, while requiring little maintenance.
